bump.

since i've got a bit of time on my hands at the moment, anyone know of any decent fb games that aren't 'kiddie' and don't require 500 neighbours rubbish?

playing backyard monsters and it's a great little tower defence type game.

whats everyones thoughts on timeline?

 

[Silent Alarm]

Mlegh, timeline is okay. It's not worth worrying about because a) it's just a website, and b) it's probably going to change in three months time.

 

[Cruyff14]

Don't like it, takes too long to load.

Profile picture also too small.

And whenever I scroll down someone's timeline, it takes me back to the top, everytime!

So Facebook has bought Instagram for one billion dollars.

For those that don't know what Instagram is, it's what Pretentious Hipster Douchemongers use to look artsy and like they are professional photographers.

Sepia tone makes everything look professional!

Had a facebook friend a few months ago who bought a new Galaxy Nexus phone, and a week's worth of complaining later, returned it and got an iPhone 4s instead, all because at that point Android didn't have this stupid Instagram app.

Android has since got, and i've checked it out but it seems like a real pointless douchey app to me. Like the others have said. Take photo, apply hipster retro filter, upload. That's right, we spent decades refining digital cameras to the quality they are today, so that we could just apply old timey filters to make them look 40 years old anyway.

I deactivated my facebook account because I feel I rely on it too much during work and life in general. Needing a fix every bloody half an hour. It's tough, particularly for stalking a loved one who I'm trying to win over, but I don't really miss it at all just yet.

The fact I felt the need to post that here probably isn't the best sign however.

It's the equivalent of painting over film negatives. It's kind of a trashy, disposable way to take a photo. And kids trying to be indie should realise that it doesn't look like film at all: It's just a hazy, glazed overlay of diluted colour. Instagram is the worst.

The retro filters give photo's a warm and fuzzy feeling that ultra-sharp high res images don't (yes instagram user/loser)

 

[Bombermania]

Why would you need an app to make a photo look old when you can save it too a computer and alter how it looks.

 

[nicky]

Because the app does it instantly?

A lot of those are just downright terrible. Either unfunny or just too crude for my tastes.

 

[Illinois Nazi]

Corey's footy memes has got to be someone trolling.

[ThePezDispenser]

How do you search for certain people's memes?

"Corey's footy memes" is actually the name of his page, so just put that in the search box.

Actually, don't. They really are bad.

 

[Tank 22]

John Smith pulls out some classics as well haha, it was of higher quality when the page first started but has since gone on a downwards spiral as trolling has come frequent.

this instadgram thing has me stumped.... all the photo's look like they're from the 1970's.... can you do anything else using it aside from the just making them like old and faded?? and why do people want that anyway....??
