The Future of The Facebook Journal

Dear Readers,

The Facebook Journal has been around for a while now. We’ve started off as a weblog documenting and analyzing news around Facebook, then we branched out and started including Facebook Platform and Facebook Connect tips and trick and app reviews. We’ve had a solid and steady stream of traffic which never seemed to die down, even during times when we didn’t post a single word in months. This shows interest in the overall concept, and also tells us that there is a need for website like The Facebook Journal.

In order to move forward, we need to have a clear idea on what we want The Facbook Journal to become. Should it stay as app showcase/review site, or should it become the ultimate resource for Facebook developers? Perhaps it should become something entirely different. The choice is yours, readers. Please vote in the poll below.

If and when we decide on the course that The Facebook Journal is going to take, we will also need people to help us get there. Depending on the outcome of the poll we might need more writers, new reviewers, or we might not need anyone at all. My point is – if you have an idea and are open to collaborate, contribute, and help us get there, the now’s your chance to get involved!

Vote on the poll, or post an alternative answer in the comments, or shoot me an email if you have some other great plans for TFJ.

Blitz Spot it! is this brand new twisted game edited by the french company Visiware. Some of you may already know the card version of this game, the one where you have to point out as quickly as possible the similar symbols on two cards displayed in front of you. Well, on the Facebook version, quickness may also be the key to score the maximum number of points possible in each level. And watch the time bar on the right: the higher it is when you find the right symbol, the more points you can get. Simple? Not that much… Read more…

Your Comments on The Facebook Journal

Here’s a little story about the comment importing problems we’ve encountered with the popular Disqus system.

We started using Disqus back in 2009 when we first launched this website and all was going good until we decided to change the domain name. After the change we’ve used all the tools that Disqus provides to merge/sync/import/export comments onto this new domain. We’ve contacted them directly, indirectly, taken their advice, ignored their advice, did whatever they told us to do, even did the exact opposite… Nothing works! All the comments from 2009 and the beginning of 2010 are lost! Well not exactly lost (they’re still here, in form of regular WordPress comments), but there’s no way to get them to show up on Disqus.

That left us with 2 options. Either to get rid of Disqus and use the horrible WordPress commenting system (horrible, even with all the add-ons and plugins), or to just forget about the comments and start with a fresh install of Disqus.

We’ve tried both of the options and let me tell you this… Disqus wins. I apologise to all of you who’ve lost you comments, but please blame Disqus not us! Believe me, we’ve done all we could and believe me you don’t want to use any other commenting system!
