Facebook and twitter ... ish.

[certainthings]

When I go to certain sites, such as Funny or Die, there is this "post to Facebook" thing ...



I imagine it happens to many of you. I do not like this. Not even a little bit. This is one of the things I was talking about awhile back in another post.

Is there away to get rid of that? Is there a box I can check or uncheck on Facebook? Elsewhere? I don't want anything connected to Facebook. Ever. Probably.

* * *

In the near future I will be unfollowing people from Twitter. You will be unfollowed if a) I don't recognize your name and/or b) You've not tweeted in awhile.

If for some reason you do not want to be unfollowed ...

Please state your name, number and favourite colour.

Or just tell me who you are.

If you think that maybe I don't know who you are.

Good luck.

I hate it too. I think as long as you're logged in to FB even if you don't have FB open at the moment, it'll be there as I don't think there is anything to check/uncheck to not have it come up.

They really should have some option where you can turn shit like that off.

[jeyhawk.livejournal.com]

There's probably a greasemonkey script for that but you'll probably have to search on a site by site basis. I used to have one to remove the facebook and twitter options from LJ but LJ actually fixed that on their own.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

I've turned off the lj and even if I had greasemonkey, I wouldn't know how to work it.

Purple is my favourite colour and so is black! :high fives:

You don't know www.funnyordie.com? I'm sure you must know it.

Happy Endings is a cute show.

My twitter handle is littlestclouds (surprise). You can unfollow if you want, though. No hard feelings. :)

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

If you have the same name here and there, I can usually crack the code. :p

[harleymae.livejournal.com]

Ha! Like they would actually make it easy for you to do that. :P You could either log out from Facebook, or what might be more convenient is to use your browser's private browsing mode to browse instead (FF and Chrome have private modes).

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

What is this private mode? Where can I find it?

Also. Do you use FF and if so what is this "sync" thing in the options? Should I click on it?

I use FF a bit on my home computer but haven't seen the sync option before. You might want to check the help for a fuller explanation of what it does.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

The sync option is with the options.

And what do you mean you use it a bit? What is your primary source of internet site gatherings? :p

[harleymae.livejournal.com]

I mostly use Chrome because my work laptop is a MacBook Pro and I think FF didn't work too well on it or something.

I end up using the private browsing mode because I'm logged into to a work Gmail account, but my YouTube account is linked to a personal Gmail account and I can't be logged into both at the same time.

Hmmm...I do so enjoy your tweets but I don't really tweet much myself. Do what you must! *dramatic sigh of despair*

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Hee. That was some very nice acting.

[cherrymmm.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I practiced. Did you see the tear I squeezed out? lol

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

That was what moved me.

[agt-league.livejournal.com]

I don't tweet a lot anymore but I like reading your tweets when I go on Twitter!

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

But you should tweet. Do it. C'mon. Do it. *peer pressures*

[agt-league.livejournal.com]

I don't have anything to tweet about! *feels the pressure*

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Yeah, either do I.

Hi. My name is Vicki, aka the_eilan on Twitter.
My favourite numbers are 3, 7 and 13.
My favourite colour has always been blue, but lately I like anything as long as it's sparkly.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Oh, hello! It's so nice to meet you. I think we should be excellent friends.

[laurondo.livejournal.com]

My name is Laura and my favorite color is black.

DON'T UNFOLLOW MEEEEE. D:


lol

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Hahaha. You've nothing to worry about.

[jheaton.livejournal.com]

I'm @jheaton416. Since this post is more than a week old I suppose you've already unfollowed me if you were planning to. Maybe you did! I don't really pay attention to that sort of thing and have never quite understood why anyone does.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

I know who you are! And no. You're staying.
