Liking comments is just spitting in the wind
I’ve been struggling with the [loveMachine] during the past weeks. First, the main disk on my home server, from where the script is running, crashed beautifully. Second, Facebook has somewhat changed the rules lately about how much likes I can do in a certain period of time (will write more on that later). During one…

A facebook warning animation
Everytime the [loveMachine] runs over my profile, it takes a screenshot of the page when it’s done. At first, it was a way for me to see if it was really doing its job and to catch the Facebook warning messages that might have appeared during the process. But since a couple months now, I’ve…

Finally Facebook implements the “dislike”… but it’s complicated
Since all my likes are handled by the [loveMachine], I found myself looking for other things to do on Facebook. That’s when I stumbled on the (hidden) “dislike” function. Since it’s a long awaited feature, I must warn you that it’s not as easy as the “like”. It requires at least 3 clicks, works only…

J’ai augmenté ma pression sociale de 1 dunbar
Depuis que j’ai lancé le projet [loveMachine], j’ai reçu 148 demandes d’amis sur Facebook. En moyenne, donc, 3 demandes par jour. Toutes acceptées sans conditions. 148, c’est justement le nombre maximum d’amis avec lesquels une personne peut entretenir une relation stable à un moment donné de sa vie. Quantité définie par Robin Dunbar, un anthropologue…

30.000 likes later
Since all we can see on Facebook is just profiles, I thought I’d share, in the form of a gallery, some of the “unusual” ones the [loveMachine] has brought me to interact with. This is a gallery of caricatures, of course. It doesn’t point to anyone in particular, although you might recognize a friend or…

You should not post things that you don’t want to be liked
This may seem obvious and biased, since it might only apply on Facebook. We do have different degrees of intimacy with our relations. Yet another obvious statement. But on social media, this seems to be totally ignored or, at least, not under our responsibility anymore. On Facebook, we have close friends, lovers, ex-lovers, colleagues and…

#Facebook rules of play
Facebook is a theater and whether you acknowledge it or not, you’re playing a role. Many marketeers will tell you it’s better to know the rules of social media to get the best of it, but we do not all have something to sell here, even if we are certainly being sold. You might say…

The frequency of love
Exactly 10 days after the official launch of the [loveMachine], I thought I might give you a little data feedback of the project. Yes, the graphic displayed here, is the real one (made with 3d.js). As you can see, I’m running the script every 3 hours or so and the number of likes varies, going…

« Facebook is engineering relationships » − Joanne Mcneil
We kind of know this, because this is the main reason why people get (and stay) on Facebook: to get in touch with people. But how far is this “engineering” carried on by Facebook and how long are we going to be, if not comfortable, at least under the influence of it. Thanks to a…

F_c*book #glitch movie
If you’re not on Facebook, you’ve been preserved from the “Check my Facebook movie” craze. To make it short, THE social network has been creating a 1 minute movie for each of its users, slideshowing selected pictures and words over an annoying piano music. Well, someone had to do glitch version of it. Something finally…

#FB 10y – #lvMchn 0d
Been waiting for this day for the past 2 months. It’s Facebook’s 10 years birthday today. What’s that all about, you might ask? And you’d be right. I don’t work at Facebook and don’t own a share. So, why would I care? Well, it’s just that I thought it would be the best day to…
