What did PG say? Build something that 10,000 hackers would use and everyone else would come screaming in.

This feature wasn't exactly around when the page was made.

Definitely. Thank you Internet, and thank you to the people at Facebook who looked into this.

Hi Fred. Thank you for posting this explanation -- I do have a question though, the current "Sherlock" page -- is that an official page? How long will it take for these changes to appear in Facebook search?
425.
by veb 14y ago
Yep! Very pleased that's happened. Seems like a lot of people missed the page. Still wondering about the other page though... ModernSherlock page no longer shows up in search though.

It's actually my page!! I'm so confused. 750 likes?! but at least the content is back: http://i.imgur.com/jil2q.png

Yeah, you're supposed to put in the official page (so people know), but there is no official page.

I thought it was a wonderfully written tribute, and I agree with all your points - why stop if you're enjoying yourself.

Inductive charging sounds cool. I'm kind of over my stupid connectors breaking, or my kittens chewing them to smithereens.

If anyone hasn't watched this BBC show: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2085059/ I absolutely think this is the kind of show (3 episodes so far) that's aimed at the HN crowd. Completely blew me away.

You're forgetting that the smarter programmers realise all they need to do is fix something really fast, so their managers are like, "oh my goodness, you're excellent!" but if you get caught up on the details, spend several weeks "fixing" s

Steve Jobs did not make iTunes, iPod, iPad. He might've drawn a picture and said, "I want it to look like that.", but he didn't make it. If I simply drew an interactive touchscreen toilet seat, and had an army of minions to actually get i

Wee bit OT... I might be weird in this regard, but I've got a Samsung SMART TV, and well, the interface reminds me so much of what the Internet used to be like in the late 90s, early 000s... I've been waiting for the day someone comes and

It's a lot of work to redesign a website, especially one with lots of weird pages. Makes me wonder of how much of an undertaking that would be... perhaps it would be easier to rebrand, build the same thing in a better way, with their API.

It's funny you should say this. I practically did the same thing, from a different perspective. I ran my own little IRC server when I was a teenager, and one day I noticed a lot of my friends were being disconnected from the server. After s

In New Zealand, I recently went to JB. I was interested in a tablet, specifically the iPad 3, and I asked the sales person, "What's the difference between the Asus Transformer, and the iPad 3?", to which he replies, "Uhhh... the Operating S

Those guidelines are silly, life always finds a way... to bypass guidelines.

This looks great. I really want to get this working and then after a week, "hey boss, support seems better now huh?"... :-)

I hate myself. I can never answer questions like this, and I exhaust myself from trying so hard. Throughout school, I was absolutely HOPELESS. I couldn't do anything when it came to basic math, except some algebra. These questions (even

+1 there's absolutely no reason why they cannot get it working for New Zealand -- considering most of our banks are actually owned by Australians, and typically use the same systems!

I took the liberty of thinking that if I'm too busy to Facebook in the weekends, then everyone else is too. (Yeah... I know it doesn't work like that).

I've noticed that images seem to be by far the most popular on Facebook. A recent one I uploaded for my fan page ( http://www.facebook.com/ModernSherlock ) got 12,000 'likes' and actually reached over 51% of my audience. That was a bit of a

Google as a brand will never become the go to place for storing private data (that people trust) unless they change, somehow.

The advertisement is a bit of an overkill. I wish there was more text on the main page to tell me exactly what it is. The advertisement showed me a dude punching websites.
