Facebook Down!

Who was it here, who posted about seemingly completely random people popping up in their 'People you might know' section - Pondy?

I assume it's that the random [CUK] person has been eyeballing your profile somehow.

FB and Twitter are fundamentally different (despite attempts to copy bits of each other). Like sick and poo.

FB's been down a bit the last week or so. Big engineering changes or just regular cockup?

Zuck: "Move fast and break things!"
FB Dev: "Or we could aim for quality engineering, the better to serve our users."
Zuck: "…Huh?"

Although, to be fair, they have supposedly dropped the "MFABT" approach over the last year or so. Not dropped it from high enough, though, it seems

Yup, there's at least three on the suggested friends list that I have no friends in common with. All are people I've worked with in the past (pre 2010) but not had any contact recently and not connected to on linked in either.

Weird!

Unless you are really a very tall nordic chap named Ekku and you're stalking me. Are you?

I just checked my suggestions. Got a fair number from people at ClientCo. I've been here a month and not posted anything about it online, not mentioned the client name, not added anyone, hardly even been on Facebook at all. The two possibilities I can think of are the fact that I've logged in once via the client network, so IP tracking, or that I've logged in on mobile so geo tracking. Bloody know alls.

When I talked to some of their people a few years back, they were boasting about how the code you wrote this morning could be used by millions this afternoon. Rather than apologising for it.
