This is great. Would love to see an import from twitter/reddit subs feature in the extension.


what is the page/app?



Come talk to us at Facebook. We try very hard in our culture to avoid the bad things you mention above. Send me a message (my contact information is on my profile).

I considered that, but after experience at other big companies and each and every one of them saying that these things don't happen there, Facebook would need to be a big exception (and maybe it is, it just seems too good to be true :-). Let me give some thought to that. Thanks!


user_id:389472984 isn't anonymized. Aggregated and anonymized data means, "gender:male ages:18-34"


This is an excellent point, let me pass that on to the platform permissions people.


If I remember correctly,they sort of had that earlier, then it was removed to make apps powerful and sign ups easier!



I'm curious, what browser/OS are you using? Your screenshots look different from my view of the site, specifically, the text is either displaced or enlarged in your screenshots, making it look weird.


Safari on iOS 4.3.3; standard 3GS setup.


Interesting. I'll file a bug. Thanks for the info.


The spirit of that slogan is more like "Move fast and don't be afraid to disrupt established patterns". The intention is to give employees licence to think out of the box and try out lots of new ideas, without being bogged down by what has gone before. Everyone I've talked to (I personally don't have a lot of experience at jobs outside of Facebook and academia) agrees that Facebook offers you unparalleled freedom to go forth and have impact, unencumbered by red tape and naysayers.

That's not to defend API breakages or incomplete documentation and the pain it causes developers -- I'm not directly involved, but I know that we're definitely trying to get that turned around and fix some of the issues with Facebook Platform.


When things break, get fixed and then break again, its just a childish mistake, not "freedom".


134 points, 76 comments, and maybe 3 of them critically examining the methodology :/
