Cool and creepy all at once :-)

ashu• 16 years ago

why creepy?

zaphar2• 16 years ago

Creepy because that's an lot of information facebook lets you look up about people pretty easily using their api. Not necessarily objecting but it is a little creepy when you think about it.

What stops me (as the developer of a similar app) from screen scraping the information I gleam from visitors to my web app?

waterlesscloud• 16 years ago

Looks like the NYT has some work to do.

But the site itself is inevitable and cool at the same time.

zachallia2• 16 years ago

i was using the wrong nyt url.. works better now

featherless• 16 years ago

That's a really cool implementation. Nice work!

fname• 16 years ago

weird... in FF I get all of the presets sites, but in IE I'm only getting CNN. What gives?

nlwhittemore• 16 years ago

Nice little hack

@zachallia is awesome.

Site crashed Chrome on Mac twice in a row. First time I've had to Force Quit Chrome.

stephen_mcd• 16 years ago

Destroys Chrome on Linux also.

randallsquared• 16 years ago

I didn't have any problem with Chromium 5.0.342.9 on Arch.

Calamitous• 16 years ago

Same here

drivebyacct• 16 years ago

5.0.382.0 (44999) Ubuntu

Couldn't be happier.

sketerpot• 16 years ago

Works just fine on Chrome 5.0.375.9 dev on Windows. What versions are people seeing the crashes on?

davidwparker• 16 years ago

Crashed for me the first time on Ubuntu Linux Chrome 5.0.342.9. Tried it a second time and it worked okay.

dejan• 16 years ago

Crashed three times on Mac. Once I had to restart the system.

MichaelGG• 16 years ago

Oh :(. I was hoping it was a system where you could "like" a URL or something, and after enough "likes", it'd show other stuff that you may like.

iamdave2• 16 years ago

I'm a little bit confused, if I opted out of this program, how does it still know who I am when I go to this site?

natrius• 16 years ago

Each widget is a Facebook iframe. Facebook knows who you are. The site doesn't.

iamdave2• 16 years ago

Ah. THanks.

ElbertF2• 16 years ago

I was wondering why most of the page was empty and realized I'm blocking Facebook frames. Am I missing much?

FluidDjango2• 16 years ago

Please do explain: what's your hack to block just FB frames?

Matti• 16 years ago

I'm using the Firefox add-on LeechBlock to block access to "www.facebook.com/plugins/". (Facebook still works fine. It wasn't immediately apparent that you could use Leechblock to block access to individual folders.)

ElbertF2• 16 years ago

AdBlock. Right-click the iframe and block it.

photon_off• 16 years ago

Facebook would easily take over commenting if only they added threads, quotes, and other rudimentary commenting features.

FluidDjango2• 16 years ago

I like that it gives me this reassurance:

> You need to be logged into Facebook to see

> your friends activity

...so that I know I've remembered to stay logged OUT.

Now if only sites iFraming me to FB would post an reminder like:

"Thanks for staying logged in to FB (and providing info about all your activity to our advertisers)."

wazoox• 16 years ago

People like me haven't (and won't ever have) a f*cking facebook account.
