This isn’t exactly news that anyone is going to care about — it was something I’ve actually been wanting to do for a while, but simply hadn’t done due to the massive amount of procrastination I do on a daily basis — but I finally got rid of the Xadara Facebook page, to the dismay […]

Yet Another Facebook Failure – The “View As” Security Breach
Facebook Is Removing Its “Trending” Section. Good Riddance.
Yet another change with everyone’s favorite social media platform – Facebook is getting rid of the the “trending” section due to changes in how the user base uses the site.

Facebook And That Little Flower Reaction
Ya know, I thought people had better memories than they seem to. This past week on Facebook, I noticed people talking about a little “flower” reaction, alongside the usual heart, laugh, cry, anger, and all that.
