I honestly don't know. I thought it was something messed up at first, but this could be rolling out as we speak.

That button was actually just a joke; it brought up an alert saying "Come on, you can't really be that mean!"

http://hackmyfacebook.com People are hitting the site and using it. I wasn't sure if it was a real use case either; but our conversion rate for hitting the site and actually using it is even higher than before, so I guess some people thi

This is awesome, and we don't have to make our own. Next time, we are definitely using this as the background! Thanks for building this!

I didn't really get the glue part, but the,results of this study point to some really interesting conclusions that,could be huge for copy in the future.

Reminds of the lol turtle FB Open Graph meme viewer phenomenon...if you'd really like some virality, I'd highly recommend OG.

No. If you take a look at the people taking and finishing Coursera courses, it's almost all people who already have degrees rather than students or other pursuing their initial higher education.

I definitely felt like the judging was rushed; given the pinch on time, I liked a lot of their choices though. Do you know if J.A.M. actually even worked? I really liked where they were going, but it didn't look like the app actually work

Thank you. I'm glad you understand. We weren't trying to downplay any of the other apps at all; our app just caught some traction, and we were happy about that.

Exactly...we realized that people were even using Buddy Hack to mess with their friends by "hacking" their own Facebook's, so we pivoted to Hack My Facebook.

How are we clowns? People actually use and enjoy using what we built at PennApps; why should that be looked down upon? We had fun building our hack, and people have fun using it.

Hellllll yeah....this is exactly the mindset that we need to promote in students to inspire them to hack with passion.

Sometimes it's great to build, just to build. If I was worried about spending every single waking moment of my life in the most productive way possible, I would not even get to live, nor would I sleep very much haha.

I built this product, because several times I wished something like it existed; now, I enjoy using it. Yes, I'm biased, but I didn't just build this app just to build it; I built it for my own use, and I think it's fun to use :)

Stacey, we've already had hundreds of people use the site and have received great feedback from many of our users. Sure, it's not something people use every day, but I definitely think it brings some good-hearted humor into people's lives.

We've had a pretty good response so far with our current options while at the same time being able to stay away from any profane, offensive, or really malicious content; however, we would love to have expanded options for other target demog

Try it. It's hilarious. Also, if you read the TIME article, originally it was intended to be used on your friends Facebook's when they left it open at your house or left their laptop for a moment when you were working next to them. Then w
