<p>Facebook had it right a couple of years ago where, if one of your friends was sharing rubbish inspirational posters and the like, you could go to their profile, hover over your relationship with them (Friends) and you could use the drop down list to tick and untick what you wanted to see from them. Ie. You could choose to see status updates and photos, but not shares, likes and other such things. Shame they canned that. I've also noticed they've lremoved the ability to search through your friends posts year by year month by month. If you want to see something from December 2014 (don't ask why you would...), you just have to keep going to the bottom of the page until all their posts between now and then appear. Whereas, you used to be able to choose a year and a month if you were looking for something specific.</p>

<p>Looks like the timeline search is back on the full version. Huzzah.</p> -
<p>FB is just a platform to moan and bitch for a decent chunk of users! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>So many ill-informed posts about TPPA, and closer to home the Govt has pledged money to a bunch of stuff for Northland, and still the people bitch and moan.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So many simply have no idea how the real world works...I've already done a cull of pages and people I follow! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>But on the flipside, there is also some great stuff on there too, shame the fucktards of the world ruin it for the rest of us.</p> -
<p>bro I've got your posts on high alert, an e-mail, alarm goes off on my phone, a reminder every minute there after, missing seeing what you have for breakfast is not an option! </p>

Another mahoosive bowl of awesome. -
I finally used the unfriend function on Facebook for the first time this week. <br><br>
There are some topics that it's inappropriate (or at the least unwise) for me to post about on Facebook... and when some individuals start sharing 15+ posts on those topics in one day alone, it's either reply or use the bye-bye function... Unfriend won. -

<p>Also</p>
<p> </p>
<p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">Stephen Fry has deleted his Twitter account in the wake of the furore surrounding his "bag lady" joke about Jenny Beavan at the Baftas on Sunday night.</p>
<p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">The 58-year-old actor-and-writer made the gag in reference to what Jenny wore to the ceremony after she collected her award for Costume Design for her work on <i>Mad Max: Fury Road.</i></p>
<p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">As Beavan left the stage, Fry quipped: "Only one of the great cinematic costume designers would come to the awards ceremony dressed like a bag lady."</p>
<p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">His comment drew an avalanche of criticism from Twitter users who were quick to condemn the comic star for what he said.</p>
<p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">Fry went on to the social networking site to inform the irate web mob that he and Beavan are old friends and she was in on the joke at the Baftas - which were held at The Royal Opera House in London.</p>
<p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">He tweeted: "So just a word to the tragic figures who think calling Jenny Beavan a bag lady was an insult. She's a dear friend and she got it. Derrr</p>
<p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">"Will all you sanctimonious fers fk the f*k off Jenny Beavan is a friend and joshing is legitimate. Christ I want to leave the planet."</p>
<p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">And going into more detail about their relationship, he wrote: "We worked together on Gosford Park & Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows. She's more grown up & strong than you are (sic)."</p>
<p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">But after his attempt to set the record straight seemingly didn't work, <i>The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies</i> star made the call to close his Twitter account down.</p>
<p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">This is not the first time Fry has quit Twitter - only to eventually return. In 2010 he logged off after being heavily criticised for claiming women didn't like sex as much as gay men in an interview.</p>
<p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">And in 2009 he left the online platform for a time in the wake of a row with another user admitting he had become tired of the "aggression and unkindness" on the site.</p> -

<p>FB pages are terrible for getting the word out though. Back in the good old days everyone who had liked the page would see a post, now an 'engaging post' according to those FB fuckers is 20 people seeing it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sigh. Promotion sucks arse.</p> -
<p>I have heard from marketing people that Twitter shits all over FB in that regard.</p>
