Das war ja vielleicht eine kurze Woche. Trotzdem hat sie wie jede andere Woche ein Wochenende, das nach Blog-Tipps verlangt. Also gut, here we go:

Ostprodukt ist ein schönes neues Blog für alle Ostalgiker unter uns: Fotos mitten aus dem Leben in einer Zeit, die viele von euch gar nicht mehr miterlebt haben, die in unserer Gesellschaft aber immer noch irgendwie präsent ist – nicht zuletzt in diesem Blog. Freundschaft!

Me vs. the World fasst sich selten kurz, aber wenn er eine DVD rezensiert, von seinem Alltag  berichtet oder das aktuelle Tagesgeschehen kommentiert, lohnt es sich meistens, ein bisschen Zeit in die Lektüre zu investieren.

Und schließlich noch was für die ersten richtig heißen Tage des Jahres, die wir gerade hinter uns haben: Style Riders hat sich dem Drahtesel in all seinen Formen und Farben verschrieben.

Schönes Wochenende!

Dear visitors from Google. This site is not Facebook. This is a website called ReadWriteWeb that reports on news about Facebook and other Internet services. To access Facebook right now, click here. For future reference, type “facebook.com” into your browser address bar or enter “facebook” into Google and click on the first result. We recommend that you then save Facebook as a bookmark in your browser.

It took me a minute to grok this, since I typically walk around with the conviction that people aren’t THAT naive, but…

What’s apparently happening here is, Facebook users are googling for “facebook login” (because how else are you going to log into Facebook?), clicking the first result (which is sometimes a story about Facebook, on an unrelated site), assuming that the site itself is Facebook, scrolling to the bottom to get to the comment form - still thinking they’re on Facebook - and using the comment form to complain about how this, a wholly different website, is a terrible redesign of Facebook.

I just don’t even know how to start feeling about any of this. It’s like the Twilight Zone episode where you wake up and everyone in the world has started talking a different language.

It’s like… Like if you asked a friend if there was a Starbucks in his neighborhood and he said, yeah I think there’s one half a mile down, maybe. And you drive half a mile and see a big carwash place, and you park and walk in and ask to speak to the manager. And you tell the carwash manager how unhappy you are with this terrible new Starbucks redesign.

newsweek:

According to a Dow Jones report, Facebook may be filing for its IPO on Wednesday at a valuation of $75 to $100 billion, and both Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs will make a social network full of money.

• what Investment banks looking to get in on the upcoming Facebook IPO, expected to be filed for next week, may only take a 1 percent underwriting fee on the stock offering. How abnormal is that? Usually, the investment banking underwriters take 5 to 7 percent.
• why Simply put, Facebook is such…

So I’ve decided to give up Facebook in 2012.

After 6 fun years of liking, poking, and checking out my friends’ hot sisters, I feel like it’s time to hang up the big blue F once and for all.

I put up the message today and got some nice supportive likes. A few good friends even sent…

Looking for a web-based equivalent of a divining rod to find out where the customers are? While the hard work of converting prospects into paying consumers rests with the business, Facebook has stepped up to the challenge of connecting business page owners with not only their base customers but with those Friends of customers who show interest in your business.
