Funny.

"The Facebook ask of the industry is make the worst flash possible," Facebook's Jason Taylor told his keynote audience at the Flash Memory Summit on Tuesday in Santa Clara, California. "Just make it dense and cheap."

What Taylor was talking about was flash to be used in "cold storage" – not only for rarely accessed data such as logs and metrics that Facebook uses to do its analytics, but also user content that's rarely – if ever – accessed.

"Photos, video – essentially, after you first create these, they're almost never updated," he said. "The majority of that data will probably be written once and read never – really, it's sad."

Slow, low-endurance flash would be ideal for such an application. "Write-once, read-never is probably the spec for a lot of this,"

And now they're trying to tempt me back again

Facebook is working on a new app you can’t use — unless you’re a celebrity.

The VIP app, which sources say that Facebook is currently testing with a small group of famous people, essentially lets celebs (or their handlers) easily monitor Facebook fan chatter about themselves from a mobile device. From there, stars can quickly respond to fans on the fly, and can become a part of the conversation.

The project, which is in its early days, is another part of Facebook’s push to encourage celebrities to share more stuff on the site. And that’s part of Facebook’s larger push to compete more directly with Twitter for “public” sharing.

i hope that this doesn't breach users own privacy settings for example me and my friends discussing actors and actresses that might be closeted sapioromantic asexuals (isn't that the main conversation everyone has with their friends on facebook) when the privacy setting is friends only.

What's it all about?

The first few times someone asked if I was "on facebook", I looked at them as though they had vomited on my shoes. But now it seems everyone over here is on it.

Is it a thing in Eyerland?

we were all so innocent back then

anyway

Okay, I am asking this because I think it is a safe, trusting place.

What is Instagram?

Is it just people posting photos and other people commenting on them?

Yes, but with filters on the images.

Oh and now it does video.

Edit: It's kind of dumb, but its big plus for me is that the work flow of taking a picture and putting it online is fully integrated in one app. You take a pic and it's hosted on instagram, you don't have to use the phone's camera and then hit a share button and then say which hosting service you want to upload to, or even pick a hosting service, because if you've downloaded the app you already have an account with it.

I have never had a good phone or a good camera.

Also, my life is not very photogenic.

Is everyone here on it?

And thank you, Unicron. Although I know that's probably not your real name.

I was never really into photography before but the convenience and ease of use got me into using it, although my feed is mostly nature stuff I see when out walking my pooch or sight gags like this spoiler warning ...

FYI you can also set your account to private so no one can see your images.
No followers.

So the same as having them on your hard drive?

 

[Lili Marlene]

If you're interested in that you'd probably be better off just installing the dropbox app and it can automatically upload pictures from your phone.

 

[Jill Hives]

Ah, you kids and your technology.

When I get a new phone I am going to do this.

This has probably been asked before, but what is a decent amount of time bfore defriending a school friend?

i.e. the guy has asked. i don't want to say no, but i also don't need him 'up' in 'my business' for an extended period of time.

What says Thumped?

You know you can accept friend requests from people and then just hide their posts in your feed so you don't have to put up with their shit. Very handy.
