Mark Zuckerberg just announced that Facebook will be refreshing its line of mobile apps, including the much-maligned Android version. Admitting that the app currently available on Google’s OS isn’t quite up to speed with its iPhone brethren, the new Android version will be treated to many of the same upgrades. Two big addition that hit [...] More...
I just downloaded the new version... aaaaand you STILL can't see photo comments, or comment on photos. Ah well, back to using the mobile site.
Yea, it's worse than it was, slow as molasses, no comments for photos, no photos, for that matter.....
OMG who cares about f-ing Places?!!! They could have at least added notifications for Wall posts! The FB Android app is still waaay worse than the iPhone or even Blackberry app for that matter! Urg!!!
You would think that since erik tseng is now on the facebook team he would have pushed them to make the android app up to par with the iphone one.
Why has Facebook placed so much emphasis on getting people to share their location. Only my wife should know where I am and of the 100+ friends I have on facebook, not one of them want to share where they are. One of the questions that Facebook dodged at the conference was "how is privacy ensured once a third-party knows a user location". Facebook couldn't (didn't want to) answer that one because it's a huge hole in their business model - once your location is revealed to a third-party, it doesn't matter what your Facebook privacy settings are set to, that third-party can do what it wants with your information.
I tried that today because I was annoyed with the FB update. I logged in to Tweetdeck and added my FB account but it wouldn't let me click on the "done" button on the bottom so I uninstalled it. Any ideas what was wrong?
Hmmm... I'm not sure what "Done" button you're referring to? I don't see that button anywhere on mine.
as for Groups - it also only lists the "new" format groups. It doesn't list any of your old style groups. fail.
Top - Signed into Tweetdeck Middle - Signed into Facebook Bottom - Supposed to click "done" but the button does nothing. Sorry the pic is so small, couldn't get it to upload.
Oh, okay - for TweetDeck you need to have a Twitter account as well, and sign into it from the app. Go to twitter.com, create an account there, and then I think you should be set. Even if you don't use the Twitter account you still need it for the app.
Well, you should only get updates from your friends. I guess if you have a million friends, then you'll be one busy girl! LOL But yes, the app will update just like it does on the Facebook web site. But you can turn notifications off, and just view the posts when you want.
