Where To Add Organ Donor Info on Facebook

Where To Add Organ Donor Info on Facebook

I read today that Facebook is encouraging organ donations.  I think this is a great effort and more people should be organ donors.  Ultimately I want this campaign to be successful (and it looks like it is) , but I do have a few concerns:

  1. This feature is kind of hidden away.  In fact, I didn’t realize the amount of “Timeline Life Events” I could indicate until I started writing this.  This speaks to a larger problem Facebook has with rolling out new site changes without really communicating to their end-users that it’s happened. See the blog post photo to help with finding this feature’s location.

How-To: Turn off Facebook Chat Sidebar

July 18, 2011 Design, Inefficient, User Experience, Web & Technology No comments

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?

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.

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).

Go here to get to the vote.

Way more efficient than Mark Zuckerberg’s inefficient FB blog post.
