Michael Moynihan spends a week in the online terror underworld—most of which happens on Facebook—for our cover story: http://www.jihad.com. 

Hi, my name is…Slim Shady. No, really, my name is Slim Shady. Just kidding, my name is Mark (for those of you that don’t know me) and I live in a small town near the massive city of New York. I am currently 15 years old and I just finished freshman year in high school. I have remodeled this website in an attempt that perhaps some search engine will recognize it. I am trying to promote my new AOL Program, The Vader Fader, which you can download elsewhere on this site. It is a decent fader. If you have any comments about this website, the java applets on it, or the Vader Fader which I am trying to promote, please contact me. My E-Mail address is at the bottom of this page.

That’s how Mark Zuckerberg described himself on his first website, recently discovered.

We’re talking “old poke,” not “new poke.” 

Here’s what you’re now supposed to say when Dad asks about “the Facebooks,” if a new ad is to be followed.

Well played, Facebook. Glad to see something potentially massive come out of the Karma deal.

This is actually a pretty big deal. (Note: Don’t go running off to your Facebooks just yet. It’s only being tested with 1% of the user-base at this point. We are the 99%.)

The top two dots are contextless nipples drawn on a female stick figure that got the New Yorker’s Facebook page banned from Zuckerberg’s cyberspace of nippleless friendship. The bottom are male nipples, hence they are OK.

If you’ve got an iPhone and use Facebook, go update your app. Facebook just rolled out a super fast new version—5.0—that is built as an actual iOS application, not HTML5.

The shooter in Aurora, Colorado has been identified as one James Holmes—but not this James Holmes.

On Mark’s birthday, in May 2006, I received an email from his administrative assistant telling me that it would be my job that day, along with all the other women in the office, to wear a T-shirt with Mark’s picture on it. The gender coding was clear: women were to declare allegiance to Mark, and men were to become Mark.

Katherine Losse had just dropped out of grad school at Johns Hopkins when she moved to Palo Alto and was hired as Facebook employee No. 51. In her new book, The Boy Kings, she describes Facebook as a men-driven fraternity full of immature and sexually inappropriate behavior. Plenty more here.

File this one under things Facebook shouldn’t be broadcasting to our friends.
