Facebook application knows where you've been

While doing the casual "who are the friends of my friends?" tour in facebook this evening, I was startled to see this: OMG!, thought I to myself - now anyone who visits this profile can see that I was the last person to browse it before them. Luckily, this wouldn't have been too embarrassing since this was the profile of someone I knew, but what if it was someone who didn't know me? Once the panic subsided, two thoughts came to mind . One was - would facebook allow such a blatant...

Microsoft Israel's Developer Academy II event is just starting off at Airport City's Avenue convention center. There are a lot of people here already - almost an hour before the first lecture is set to begin. There's a lot of mingling going on upstairs, plus free drinks and snacks, but I am lurking down below at the nearly deserted bloggers' corner at level -1. Wi-fi access, btw, is free for everyone from anywhere in the venue and I'd like to personally thank the organizers for...

26 November 07 03:18 PM | urig | with no comments

I will be using my "facebook status" to liveblog the Microsoft Israel's Developer Academy II event tomorrow. It's practically the same as microblogging (see twitter.com ) except all sentences will begin with "uri is..." which is an amusing constraint. The "microposts" will not be posted here in my blog for two reasons: I can't find a proper way to sync. from facebook to the Community Server here. I don't want to overcrowd microsoft.co.il's feeds by...

Guy Kolbis has informed me that wi-fi will only be available at the bloggers' corner of the Developer Academy II event. Thanks Guy. Sadly, that means I will not be liveblogging the event. I wanted to share my insights and the new knowledge I acquire at the event in real time from my actual seat at the lectures. I thought of using my facebook status line as mini-blog, a la twitter . Unless I miraculously get my hands on a cellular modem, that's not going to happen. Too bad wi-fi access does...

Liveblogging from Develper Academy II
24 November 07 07:37 PM | urig | 2 comment(s)

I will be attending Microsoft Israel's Developer Academy II event at Airport City, Israel this Tuesday (27/11/2007). Throughout the day I will be attending at least 5 of the lectures (haven't finalized which yet) and I will be liveblogging both here and via my facebook profile . You're invited to keep track of my progress through the day and if you're there, you're welcome to (physically!) poke me face to face :) It's a great opportunity to bridge the gap between virtual and...
