Although a federal judge has refused to grant a temporary restraining order on Facebook at the request of Timelines.com, a small Chicago company that claimsFacebook’s new Timeline feature threatens its business, Facebook has promised to delay a full launch. Facebook Timeline, a feature that reorganizes users’ profiles into multimedia-rich scrapbooks of past updates, has been expected to go live any day. Some 1.1 million users havealready installed the feature on their profiles by enabling developer access. The judge in Timelines.com’s patent lawsuit declined the site’s request to disable users from signing on through the developer program. He did, however, order Facebook to report daily how many new developers were enabling the Timeline. Facebook Timeline Launch Delayed in Federal Court...

Aside from being able to attend the concert and share the experience with friends completely through the Facebook platform, Michael Jackson fans and viewers will also be able to easily purchase related music and event merchandise through a shopping cart application embedded within the event’s official Facebook page. Michael Forever: Behind the first live global PPV concert ever on Facebook. Very ambitious! This should be pretty interesting! Advance e-tickets are 40 Facebook credits ($3.99). Day of tickets are 50 Facebook credits ($4.99). I think I’ll check it...
The Internet and You

Okay so watched f8 today. F8 is the developer’s conference for Face.book where they announce new baseline features for developers to work against. Here’s the new profile they’ll unveil soon : And the enhanced Apps : I tried it out myself and I gotta admit, it’s pretty cool. I’ve heard both good and bad things about these new features. Some people are really excited while others are whining as usual about Face.book’s Agile development cycle penchant for revamping things every other day. Haven’t heard the standard privacy whines yet, but I’m sure that’s coming. As you know, I’ve been a techie pretty much my whole life. Born and raised with a keyboard in my hand. Came of age during this computer era and live and breathe it. Went to school for it…switched majors…but ended up studying its impact on society. Now I study this stuff and the best ways to get people to work with it in the fields of User Experience and Usability. As someone who does this for a living and as hobby (not employed on this site clearly), I’m here to tell you the thing that 82.3% of computer users do not get. THE INTERNET IS NOT, WAS NOT, AND HAS NEVER BEEN MADE FOR YOU! EVERY WEBSITE EVER CREATED WAS MADE TO PUSH THE AGENDA OF ITS CREATORS! And this coming from a person who does Ux and Usability for a living! The secret of those disciplines…to make it easier to push the agenda down your throat. Period. Yeah I said it! Knowing this, I SMH at people that complain when new technology comes out or when they have issues with Privacy on websites yet will tell people all about their sex lives on twitter. Technology can only do what...
