How-To: Turn off Facebook Chat Sidebar
Written on July 18, 2011 at 10:05 am, by cct
Are you as annoyed as I am about the sidebar on Facebook? In addition to not being a user of Facebook Chat, it confuses me that I get to see people online because then it makes me feel like I’m supposed to use FB Chat.
So, I hid it.
Here’s how (until they do their next interface change tomorrow or something…):
Click on the ‘”Gearwork” (I think?) symbol and there’s a “Hide Sidebar” option.
Shifts in Facebook: Commenting on Wall Posts

Facebook Shifting Borders?
The other day my friend Ian and I were having a facebook wall conversation and it wasn’t until he commented on my message on his wall that I realized you could comment on that as well (hey…there’s some things I don’t pay attention to 
).
As my friend Bobby just did the same thing earlier (commenting on my wall post), I write this post being all kinds of divided. Is this the end of the wall-to-wall? It makes sense because then the conversation follows on your profile where it began and you can see the exchange of things. But then, I feel that you miss that element of two people on different profiles talking to each other.
Linkage: Gavin Newsom, Anti-Perez, and Free Streaming Video
Written on April 21, 2009 at 12:47 pm, by cct
Stories I’ve come across (mostly through awesome facebook friends I have) that I’ve liked:
- Gavin Newsom Uses Facebook, Twitter to Announce His Run for Governor [laist]
A politician I like using social media for announcements? Heck yeah! - Dear Perez: Miss California Gave The Right Answer For The Moment [huffingtonpost]
I stand by people having their own opinion, even if I don’t agree with it and hope that equality prevails over upbringing, but Perez (did I mention how I hate Perez Hilton?) was just not fair in his judgment and Mr. Charles Karel Bouley puts him in his place.
Efficient: Facebook Site Governance Vote

Screenshot - Facebook TOS Voting
Well…sort of efficient. When I tried voting the first couple of times I received all these error messages. In any case, if you haven’t heard voting has now begun for the new Terms of Service (TOS) on Facebook – revised version with an input of comments from users and experts or reverting back to the 9/08 version before the mass hysteria of libertarian-esque outcry (It’s the internet. We’re still the wild, wild west).
Way more efficient than Mark Zuckerberg’s inefficient FB blog post.
Efficient: Facebook – Events and Lightboxes
Written on April 9, 2009 at 7:13 am, by cct
I kind of hesitated writing “efficient” and “facebook” next to each other, but there are a few changes to facebook I have liked (and I’m kind tired of being a ‘negative nancy’ – where does that phrase come from? all the nancy’s i know aren’t negative – ’cause I’m generally pretty chipper). The thing that striked me recently that I liked was when I created an event listing.
Well…
When I finished creating an event. The process of creating the event itself is quite annoying. As I do work for an event-related website, I’m a big fan of “add event/create your event” buttons and links. But wait this was supposed to be positive…
