Facebook & Twitter widgets

[theljstaff]

We've added 2 new Widgets to the Friends Feed page in the redesigned version of the site which allow you to view your Facebook and Twitter feeds. These were added so you can stay up to date about friends & news at a quick glance without having to fully break away from reading the longer entries you are reading here. We wanted to both describe how

Ack! Please - change it back. We do NOT want this to become a FB clone - or extension. If I wanted anything to do with Facebook, I'd have a Facebook account. I don't.

I agree with this comment completely. I have nothing to do with Facebook and have no desire to start now. In fact, one of the reasons that I've remained here all these years because Live Journal is NOT Facebook.

I'm actually okay with this. Don't have to use it if you don't want to use it. And the widgets appear to be blockable with your favourite blocking browser add-ons.

(I have everything facebook related automatically blocked anyway, because of their recent very sinister we'll track everything everybody does on the internet at all times scandal.)

I agree with you 100% mr_spock...hate facebook and don't have a Twitter either...

[tallblue]

I agree, I would never use this.

[thistle_chaser]

Agreed. I would never use this. I want nothing to do with Facebook.

+1. I use Facebook but even though my LJ is friends locked I still do not want the two to be connected to each other in any way (other than the few friends from here that I've added on there but have known a long time).

It seems like it only shows up on the feed style of flist and it's easily removed, so I don't see any reason to panic. The description above makes it pretty clear that it's easy to opt out and that it doesn't crosspost from LJ to Facebook or vice versa in any event.
