Facebook and Twitter Connect, Pingbacks

[news]

We've got some exciting updates this week, so sit tight and we'll get started. Of course, news would not be complete without a special gift from Frank. It appears that he neglected to celebrate birthdays this month. So, in the spirit of better late than never, please rip a zippy yippee if you were born in August, and Frank'll send you a ginger

IF YOU HAVE FIREFOX + GREASEMONKEY AND WANT TO GET RID OF THE FACEBOOK/TWITTER CHECKBOXES*
check this out
It's working for all comment boxes now. I think. Please let Livejournal know if you dislike the boxes, even if you install the script. They can't listen unless you say something, and the more people who say something, the more chance something will change.

* - this will not keep people from tweeting/facebooking comments to your friendslocked entries.

Pingbacks are awesome! Linking, not so much, but oh well.

Also: the top bar is pretty cool as far as universal alerts go.

Yay, it worked!

But how did you get your userhead like that?

[daluci]

It's a secret. ;)

facebook is taking over the internet, srsly.

and i love the new banner.

[parapazzi]

fb and his clones :D

I spend all of my time trying NOT to connect my LJ to Facebook and Twitter. Now there's just a bunch of extra buttons cluttering my LJ comments and entries.

Also, totally digging the new banner.

[musical_junkie]

Precisely. A lot of people know I have a LiveJournal, but I don't actively link to it, like, ever.

[sharks_teeth]

Yep.

Being logged into fb and lj all the time on this computer, this makes me nervous :/

[snowweisz]

NOOOOOOO
THIS TWITTER AND FB THING IS AWFUL, TERRIBLE, UGLY. MAKE IT STOP.

Or at least opted out. Seriously, it's disgusting, big dnw.

[darth_eldritch]

I feel the same. I come here to be on lj, not FB or twitter.

[sobloodycute]

Same here! LJ, this isn't cool. :/

[kirishimaayama]

Well said.

whew!

[franky]

that was a lot of work. :)

Not really

[uncle_smith]

No, it only took them 2 years

Re: Not really

[franky]

sorry you misunderstood. I wasn't referring to any "them" nor was I referring to work performed by someone else.

Re: whew!

[foxfirefey]

I was looking at the way you guys have refactored Identity accounts (only on the lj-free side, of course), and I really like it! My compliments!
