Facebook is testing two siblings for the Like button, marked Want and Collect. They are both for the benefit of online retailers, though chances are Facebook will wind up making some cash out of them. The two new buttons are part of a feature in development called Collections. It appears a collection will simply be […]
Facebook might just be getting a little bit too big for its boots. As it starts to climb from the 1 billion user mark, with its sights set on 2 billion in as little as two years, it’s starting to struggle with processing its data. And this might mean it needs to relinquish its place […]
A little overdramatic, but not bad I guess. If you haven’t yet liked [GAS] on Facebook, do it here and join the fun… along with nearly 400,000 other fans! [digitelvideos]

With roughly 955 million users, Facebook is concerned that not all their users are real people. And now they’re asking you to nark on your friends who aren’t using their real […]
Here’s a weird thing I never thought of: There are celebrities who honestly cannot operate a computer. DMX is one of them, as he repeats multiple times in the video above.
