Google Facebook app a hoax?

August 28, 2007 By

Rodney Rumford is surmising that reports of a Google Facebook application that I mentioned this morning might be a hoax. Why might that be true? Well, for one, it doesn’t work. For two, no one at Google is telling us anything about it (usually they jump in to explain themselves by now).

I’ll assume this is NOT from Google cause it doesn’t fit their MO.

    It wasn’t a hoax. I know because I used it several weeks ago and it seems links to it in various popular blogs only showed up after I mentioned it in my post at http://www.25hoursaday.com/weblog/2007/08/27/WhyGoogleShouldBeScaredOfFacebook.aspx

    The person from whom I originally found out about the application is a rather trustworthy source.

    Robert, If you hadn’t spammed me so bad on facebook, we’d still be friends and then you could tell Rodney that he’s the idiot, not you :)

    Mark: you should have given me a chance to fix the spam problem (it’s something I’m actively working on by pruning my mini-feed). That’s something we both could have learned from.

    Is your Facebook app running now? It sure didn’t for the first few days of its life.

    Mark: the app still doesn’t work. So, if it isn’t a hoax, it sure is an embarrassment.
