Turn on text messaging

I can’t go further from here on. I am guessing the roll out is still early and Malaysian mobile carriers are not ready or simply Facebook haven’t activating that function for Malaysian users.

  1. Bro, you don’t know why Mark Zuckerberg made Facebook mail? He hoped I will use it, so he can read the emails from the chick magnet! He wanna know how to get many Asian girl send him love letters, but I refuse to use FB mail! He will need to hack into my Microsoft mail! Hahaha..

  2. For he’s a jongly good fellow, for he’s a jongly good fellow
    For he’s a jongly good fellowwwww, which no facebook can deny
    Which no facebook can deny, which no facebook can deny..

    tQ so much for jonging fb..luv ya bro.

  4. have you tried Google Wave? Before they closed (Its been on beta test, but Google decided to do not make it anymore, so they opened source for everyone who need it and closed the service), that was all-in-one project too… I wonder if there are differences/same things.

    Another thing: http:// FSBook.ru , a parody site (can be down) , there was no registration, but a facebook like front page and a disclaimer that special services gathering info about everyone and you are welcome to register and fill information about yourself for their use.
    FSB is a russian special s-e, a successor from soviet KGB

    • I have got Google wave and log in for few times but didn’t really feels the hurrah! The idea is there but I think the usability are in question. People want something simple, understood-as-our-eyes-see-em than people will start to use.

      Google wave is like TMI instead of all-in-one.

      Facebook have trademark the word “face” recently and I don’t think users would have much flexibility in parody facebook any longer than we all wish hahahahaha won’t be surprised if “Book” would be trademark too.

      FSbook sounds good 😀 we should do one. FXbook. Flexichat book? 🙂
