- zaphar 17y agoCool and creepy all at once :-)
- ashu 17y agowhy creepy?
- zaphar 17y agoCreepy because that's an lot of information facebook lets you look up about people pretty easily using their api. Not necessarily objecting but it is a little creepy when you think about it.
- TheBranca18 17y agoFacebook is just gathering as much information as they can so they can give it to advertisers. I don't quite understand why people have to share some of the stuff they do on facebook and find that far creepier.
- madmaze 17y agoYea its quite creepy especially because they can get all your friends through whatever they are doing.. even with your FB account settings disallowing all websites access
- _delirium 17y agoI think people don't notice it until it's all presented back to them in some manner like this. People might also have an unreasonable expectation that there's some law against misusing their data. Partly, it's because that is true in some areas, e.g. the phone company can't run speech-to-text on all your conversations and sell histograms of your word usage, so people might assume Facebook can't either.
- twism 17y agoWhat stops me (as the developer of a similar app) from screen scraping the information I gleam from visitors to my web app?
- cmelbye 17y agoI'm not sure if that's technically possible... You'd have to get the content that's inside of the iframe, and I think that would break some sort of cross domain rule.
- zachallia 17y agothe security rules of browsers don't allow you to access cross domain iframe content, so it isn't an issue
- waterlesscloud 17y agoLooks like the NYT has some work to do. But the site itself is inevitable and cool at the same time.
- zachallia 17y agoi was using the wrong nyt url.. works better now
- featherless 17y agoThat's a really cool implementation. Nice work!
- fname 17y agoweird... in FF I get all of the presets sites, but in IE I'm only getting CNN. What gives?
- deleted 17y ago[deleted]
- nlwhittemore 17y agoNice little hack
- Mazy 17y agoreminds me of http://itstrending.com/ http://itstrending.com/
- jasonwilk 17y agoAllTop For Facebook Likes. Cool
- matthewer 17y ago@zachallia is awesome.
- TheBranca18 17y agoSite crashed Chrome on Mac twice in a row. First time I've had to Force Quit Chrome.
- stephen_mcd 17y agoDestroys Chrome on Linux also.
- randallsquared 17y agoI didn't have any problem with Chromium 5.0.342.9 on Arch.
- Calamitous 17y agoSame here
- drivebyacct 17y ago5.0.382.0 (44999) Ubuntu Couldn't be happier.
- sketerpot 17y agoWorks just fine on Chrome 5.0.375.9 dev on Windows. What versions are people seeing the crashes on?
- davidwparker 17y agoCrashed for me the first time on Ubuntu Linux Chrome 5.0.342.9. Tried it a second time and it worked okay.
- dejan 17y agoCrashed three times on Mac. Once I had to restart the system.
- MichaelGG 17y agoOh :(. I was hoping it was a system where you could "like" a URL or something, and after enough "likes", it'd show other stuff that you may like.
- iamdave 17y agoI'm a little bit confused, if I opted out of this program, how does it still know who I am when I go to this site?
- ElbertF 17y agoI was wondering why most of the page was empty and realized I'm blocking Facebook frames. Am I missing much?
- FluidDjango 17y agoPlease do explain: what's your hack to block just FB frames?
- Matti 17y agoI'm using the Firefox add-on LeechBlock to block access to "www.facebook.com/plugins/". (Facebook still works fine. It wasn't immediately apparent that you could use Leechblock to block access to individual folders.) http://www.proginosko.com/leechblock.html http://www.proginosko.com/leechblock.html
- ElbertF 17y agoAdBlock. Right-click the iframe and block it.
- photon_off 17y agoFacebook would easily take over commenting if only they added threads, quotes, and other rudimentary commenting features.
- FluidDjango 17y agoI like that it gives me this reassurance: > You need to be logged into Facebook to see > your friends activity ...so that I know I've remembered to stay logged OUT. Now if only sites iFraming me to FB would post an reminder like: "Thanks for staying logged in to FB (and providing info about all your activity to our advertisers)."
- wazoox 17y agoPeople like me haven't (and won't ever have) a f*cking facebook account.
- marknutter 17y agoDo you want a cookie?
