Facebook and Twitter Connect, Pingbacks

[news]

We've got some exciting updates this week, so sit tight and we'll get started. Of course, news would not be complete without a special gift from Frank. It appears that he neglected to celebrate birthdays this month. So, in the spirit of better late than never, please rip a zippy yippee if you were born in August, and Frank'll send you a ginger

Am I right that if you turn on your Facebook connect, that on your LJ user profile, under External Services, it will show a little FB logo and your entire full (RL) name as a link to your FB profile? (Saw this on someone else's user profile).

Serious? Are you made of monkeys?

I think that they must be made of Zombie Brains -- coz it's an idea with absolutely NO intelligence behind it!

LOL -- the captcha is "can worms"

Can: opened. Contents: Vermiform.

[florentinescot]

nods. Very much so!

[silmaril]

OK, that captcha you got is probably the only funny thing about this entire debacle, so thanks for the laugh.

[florentinescot]

You're welcome! We have to take our humor where we can find it!

I really hope this isn't true. It could have just been the user you saw, coincidentally linking to their FB. With their name… which would be odd. =/

If you look at external services, this lj staffers real name is linked via the fb connect.

[arethinn]

Ooo nelly.

I've just seen it on someone else's LJ profile. If you turn on FB connect, it will give your FB name under External Services on your LJ profile. Since many people use their Real Names on FB, this is just... So bad.

[arethinn]

I assume it gives/links to your FB username - which can theoretically be different from your actual Real Name, but isn't for many people.

NICE JOB LJ.

Sorry, duh, you said pretty much exactly what my comment did. I think I clicked the wrong level Reply link. *blush*

[maetang]

No worries. There is so much WRONG going on with the implementation of this stuff that my head is spinning, and I'm losing track of where I am with comments! Man, I hope they fix it soon.

[calcitrix]

Well, I was looking at one of the LJ staff who commented on this post, and it is in the spot where my Yahoo Messenger is on my user profile, so I'm assuming this goes along with the new Facebook addition. It showed her full name and took me right to her FB profile.

LJ, you are not for real. You are not. No.
