Facebook-Share-Button

Facebook officially deprecated the share button in favor of the like button earlier this year. A few days ago, I realized that the share button no longer displays on sites I manage. Trying to figure out what could be wrong, I checked those sites using a different browser and it was the same. Still in doubt, I used a different PC and even checked other websites just to be sure. Across the web, a certain version of Facebook share button stopped working. The Share Button has been deprecated already a while ago but not yet completely dead. If it stops working on your website or blog, you only need to update your code. Facebook deprecated the Share button on February 28, which means they no … [Read more...]

Facebook Changes all Emails to @Facebook: How to Get yours Fixed

facebook email change

It's cool to have a Facebook email address and I sort of like it though I'm not actively using it. Almost everyone now has one and just yesterday, Facebook forced all primary emails to be @Facebook. There was no message to inform users about this and again, it looks like another privacy blunder. Without informing anyone, they removed everybody's contact email from their profiles and replaced it with the internal Facebook email.. The reason they probably did this was because most people don't use the email function that much and they're trying to make it work. It still looks pretty like a social network messaging system to me and I doubt if it's ever gonna replace my GMail. The fact is, … [Read more...]

This may sound not true but Facebook is a struggling company. It looks like a very big company but the fact is that Facebook has so many challenges and as some predicted, Facebook may disappear in the next five years. Being the second most visited website (according to Alexa) in the world doesn't guaranteed it would always hold that spot. Facebook was about to go IPO and everyone was ecstatic about it but according to a report I read on businnesweek, "Facebook's IPO flop is decade's worst." Facing the Facebook problem This raises so many questions about the survival of the company. It's also reported that Facebook isn't doing so well with ads.
