I found a nice tool to visualise YouTube playlists and make them embeddable within a webpage. Here is my YouTube playlist - normally I start about half the way through skipping several songs as I go.
There are some irritants with the YouTube playlist feature - the first being that occasionally copyright holders request that YouTube removes a video - breaking the playlist - and second that their is no ’shuffle’ or ‘random play’ (sounds like Facebook :P) feature.
Facebook’s apparent refusal to accept that browsers other and FF and IE exist is starting to annoy me.
I am NOT using Firefox! Mozilla <> Firefox.
Facebook appears to have given up showing me traditional dating ads, and instead appears to think that I am gay. For so long I have avoided all the sleazy dating adverts, but what did it bring me….
On another note: If I removed my gender from my Facebook profile I wonder what ads I would see instead?
The “People You May Know” feature in facebook appears great at first glance - it enables people to easily see potential friends based on the friendships of their existing friends. However it also leads to some pretty strange results - mostly being people at school who I have spoken to for years, or perhaps even ever, adding me to their friends list because it just so happens that I am ‘friends’ with 5 or so of their ‘friends’.
Obviously if you then add people you found via “People You May Know”, or if people add you via “People You May Know” the results you then see are even less relevant as facebook lists friends of people that you don’t know very well.
I suppose there is always the decline button when someone adds you as a friend, but I am yet to use it.
Stalking people on facebook just got easier with the addition of Facebook chat. Provided you use an acceptable browser (see below), you can now easily see which of your friends are online and, apparently, can chat with them.
Obviously seems like a sensible move by Facebook, after all most people probably have more facebook friends than people on their MSN contact list. Shame about the lack of browser support for K-meleon though, I guess this means I wont be using this new feature.

I was just taking a quick look on Facebook this morning and saw something which made me stop in my tracks.
Is this what I think it is? If it is, then some marketing person certainly has a sense of humour, although I am quite surprised to see it was allowed on facebook (obviously excluding the fact that the site it is advertising enables you to cheat).
On the subject of essays, I still 500 more words to write about Lenin’s leadership of the the Bolsheviks for History… fun.
