Y’all may have noticed that I’m getting all techie-like these days – I kinda figured out how to add the much-discussed (really? Discussed by whom?) newly-released Facebook Like buttons. And by released I mean website owners can now freely obtain the code to implement it into their sites.
Do you care? You should: you’re about to start seeing lots more lines of “Frik von Knobknuckle likes Kosie’s ode to brandewyn” in the news feed of your Facebook page. So be warned.
And be warned about what YOU choose to click “like” on too: do you really want your nearest and dearest to know about your frankly rather worrying obsession with Dutch clogs and waffle irons, Freak-Boy?
The process was actually far simpler than I had originally expected (the Facebook code implementation, not the waffle iron) – as when it comes to the LAN-gamer-esque coding and programming side of things I tend to have a habit of breaking stuff. The old saying “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” springs to mind and should be rewritten in my honour: “if it ain’t broke invite Stu around. He’ll have it begging for mercy and wrapped around the neighbour’s tree within seconds while scientists the world over shake their heads in disbelief trying to figure how something so very very simple could be cocked-up so extravagantly and in such an original manner”.
“Hi Stu. Check out this new tech gadget I bought”
SMASH! CRASH! BAM! Tinkle.
“Well that’s proper f@cked now, isn’t it? Well done. Doos.”
But I digress – soooo anyway, each and every post now gives you the chance to add it to your Facebook news feed as something you like. And like it you do. You “can like to like it” if you will. In fact you smaak it stukkend. Even your girlfriend was making ogies at it. I should know. It was sooooo obvious. Slapper.
So click it. Go on: click click. Clickety clickety click click. Click.
Click.
Hi.
Click.
Psssst… click.
