FabeBook Error: 8/20/2009 I don't think the profiles are supposed to look like this!


So, I logged into Facebook, and this is what one of my buddies profile pages looks like:



LOL. I don;t think they're supposed to look like this, unless FB is trying a "new look and feel" ;)

Twitter Error - Twitter Widgets

I logged on to http://www.twitter.com/ today, and I noticed a link at the bottom called "Widgets". So cool, twitter has widgets.

Thinking that I'd add the twitter website widget to my site in a matter of seconds, I confidently clicked the lionk. I choose from facebook,myspace and my siote, choosing my site, then I clicked the button to get the code, and I saw this error, and then an all white page.

Guess I've got to wait a bit longer to put my Twitter feed on my site!

Twitter Error - 5/21/2009

So, I am starting to try to use Twitter, and it gave me this error the other day.
As my boss put it the other day, we are still trying to figure out how to answer the question, "can you tweet in public"?
