#Notfunnyfacebook

This morning when I logged into facebook, I noticed the feed did not update - it got stuck sometime shortly after 5:02pm Wednesday. This never happened before. Were psychic predictions coming true?

No, I think the stall may have had something to do with a little housecleaning at the Social Network. Or maybe with the new "gifts" feature?

Last month, facebook announced it would start purging Pages of fake ‘likes’ by deleting fake accounts.

Following a cull of spammers said to make up 8.7% of Facebook profiles, some of the fb's artist pages have seen a sufficient drop in ‘likes’.

Pagedata stats reveal that Lady Gaga lost over 34-thousand of her 53 million Facebook Likes! Other popular artists to have lost out include Rihanna, who had 28,275 fblikes taken out... Justin Bieber, 27,859 fake likes deleted... Shakira, with 26,406 fake likes removed... and the purge goes on!

Hey! Here's a SATIRICAL piece by Soraya Chemaly - it MUST be satire, because what would fb be without such diversions? Speaking of which, what kind of fool records themselves committing a crime and then posts it on fb? Watch!

In other fb news, founder Mark Zuckerberg is off to Russia next week, reportedly to hold talks on innovation with Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev.

COMMENTING FEES
Per comment rate: $2
Payable by either clicking the BitCoin "tip me" button or the PayPal "donate" button in the sidebar.

WAIT, WHY DO I HAVE TO PAY TO COMMENT?
Because, like the fine publication Tablet, whom I borrowed this concept from, I too am committed to bringing you the best, smartest, most enlightening and entertaining reporting and writing I'm able to provide, all free of charge. I take pride in my loyal readership, and I'm thrilled that you choose to engage with me in a way that is both thoughtful and thought-provoking. But the Internet, for all of its wonders, poses challenges to civilized and constructive discussion, allowing vocal—and, often, anonymous—minorities to drag it down with invective (and worse).

I'm asking people who'd like to post comments on my blog to pay a nominal fee—less a paywall than a gesture of your own commitment to the cause of great conversation. All proceeds go to helping me bring you the provocative and/or entertaining articles that brought you here in the first place.

I NEED TO BE HEARD! BUT I DONT WANT TO PAY.
Readers can still interact with me FREE of charge via Facebook comments and Google+ comments! You can also reach me via Twitter @davelucas

I hope this new largely symbolic measure will help create a more pleasant and cultivated environment for all! Those of you who choose to contribute, thanks for your support.
