I have never had or sign-up for FB, but friends have been emailing asking if I've caving in and sign up I said No. So googled my name and surprise I have FB account.

Here is my question: I've been trying email FB to have it removed, just to find out I need a FB account to get in touch with FB.
So what other means is there to have this removed???

What the hell


I've basically have said to hell with it, I will just continue to tell friends if asked that's not me.
I don't give a damn whether people/posters like me or dislike me, I'm not on earth to win any popularity contests.

TA DA! It was only a matter of time! Pay to Post trials happening in New Zealand. If I paid to post, FB would shrivel like Yahoo, and be forced to lay off workers. But hey, let the trials tell us!

It's an interesting concept, though it's not really "Pay to Post" as you described it.

And if no one paid to use this service, wouldn't Facebook's revenue stay the same as it is now?
When someone says they pay taxes, you know they're about to be an ******e.

Socialcam Ap:
But not only do the videos on Socialcam seem to lack any professional standards, users are too often unaware that their potentially embarrassing views are being shared.
So please, turn off social for Socialcam or choose what you share. Here's how:
Go to Facebook and on the left hand column under apps double-click Socialcam

Once in the Socialcam app itself, in the upper right hand corner, choose Settings.
Then in Settings, scroll down to "Auto Sharing" and unclick both the Facebook options. Scroll down again and hit SAVE.

One thing that troubled me about this app was that when I turned off public sharing in Socialcam on my computer but then watched a video on my mobile device, the settings reverted to make all my activity public. I turned the settings back to private, then tested it by watching another video on a different computer in a new browser. Socialcam again turned my settings back to public sharing. I posted to my social feeds on Twitter and Google+ to ask if anyone else had this problem and some users reported the same experience. Also, every time I opened the settings for Socialcam, it reverted my settings back to public.

So having made millions, but left new hopeful shareholders in tatters, one of the top executives is "sad to leave" but excited at the same time.

Boo hooo hooo for Mr. Taylor.

Having nothing but problems working with a new album on facebook tonight.

Used to be able to move photos into a proper place easily, but I'm finding the new format more difficult to work with.
