2008-03-01 [Hedda]: No, that's an ugly image, so I see no reason to add it.

2008-03-02 [Nocternity S.]: lol...

2008-03-03 [iippo]: Whoaness! Facebook linkage! :O That is cool. Nice one, Hedda! :D

2008-03-03 [Hedda]: Yes, but it looks ugly though. But it's practical that it looks like it's coded. For a number of reasons I don't want to make it more complicated by adding names and such. It's just a way to make those longish Facebook URLs shorter.

2008-03-04 [Nocternity S.]: ha! thats awsome... :)

2008-03-05 [xido]: Also helpful might be to make such a link which would go to the 'About' info pages for Applications in case we have Elftowner developers out there who would like to put in on projects, such as a few ideas I have had in mind for a while.

ie, http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=24743567664 (Facebook Application - 'thexsnet')

[DSA] will be helping me make the xsnet application and xidoraven studios company website, and the applications will both be usable through the fb utility for artists.

2008-04-03 [Paul Doyle]: I like what I've seen on Facebook so far, and I've spent too much free time there the last few days, finding people I haven't seen in years, ET'ers of course, and even my brother and sister-in-law. I just wish Facebook wasn't so restrictive regarding uploading artwork in place of photos.

2008-04-03 [iippo]: I just wish Facebook wasn't so restrictive regarding uploading artwork in place of photos.

? How is it restrictive? o.O I've never thought of doing that so never tried or even looked into... But I've seen people upload drawings and stuff... I think. o.O

2008-04-03 [Grandamelf]: I signed up but I used my other email to get there so the links would work! So I don't get ther too often!

2008-04-04 [Paul Doyle]: I'm sure art CAN be uploaded to Facebook . . . but there seems to be lots of restrictions. On the other hand, I'm brand-new there and still know little about Facebook, so I could be way off-base here.

2008-04-04 [*Artsie_ladie*]: Well, I would still like to see an app' for "My Elftown Art" on Facebook. I don't want the app' for My Deviantart, b/c I haven't posted anything more on Deviantart, b/c I'm not comfortable with their policy. In fact, I've had thoughts about removing what I have there, period.

2008-07-20 [Hedda]: I would love something like that too. Daily art or random Elftown art would be nice. I have a LOL-cats application which does exactly what I want an Elftown art application to do. It takes a random image and you can change it until you're satisfied.

But I have no idea how to program Facebook apps. I tried to read about it, but only found something about that I need a permit or something (might be wrong).

2008-07-21 [*Artsie_ladie*]: There's one for RedBubble & one for DeviantArt, but I don't know about for any others. The app that I was referring to would be for ET artists to show their works as they do with DeviantArt or RedBubble, like [Jitter] has in her profile on Facebook. But, I also like your idea of Random Art of Elftown, too. MSN & Google have gadgets to do this for random arts, but... I don't think from a site, but from the net, instead (not sure, will look). Love & have a cats' photo app there, too, that does the same.

Hmm...wouldn't know who to get further info from about it, not really, either, unless I can inquire on RedBubble, if the site actually was directly involved with theirs. It would seem so. Facebook might have a few pluses, but it's still a very impersonal place, which makes Elftown superb above Facebook or ick, MySpace.

2008-07-24 [Hedda]: MySpace is very good at giving people what they want. Unfortunately, most people can't stand that others get what they want (music playing, hideous colours and I don't know what).

2008-07-24 [Hedda]: One thing that's good with Facebook is the events. That and the photos are the only things I think it's useful for.

Guess what feature I'm working on designing now.

2008-07-24 [*Artsie_ladie*]: Eh, it's ok. :P I don't know, wizard. Some 'fun feature'. Or a Facebook Elftown app? :D Anything's possible with you! Bet you can't guess what I'm working on....wizard. <-- *hint hint*

2008-07-29 [Skydancer]: Well, the very first thing I did was disable each and every application and only allowed two to remain active. Then went through it all very carefully and blocked pretty much everything. grins. I really really hate sites that take it on themselves to decide what you do or do not want to be a part of.

2008-10-18 [Hedda]: I've written http://www.elftown.com/ in my Facebook mood now. Should at least get some people interested, I hope.

Spamming Facebook with Elftown is of course a good thing!

2008-10-18 [Skydancer]: grins.. :)of course it is.

2008-10-18 [*Artsie_ladie*]: An urge to put Elftown links everywhere! A sure sign of the Elftown Fever.... *takes notes*

2008-11-03 [Hedda]: Seems like viruses are being sent on Facebook now. If you click on some links, you're asked to install a codex to view the video. If you do, you'll see the video, but what you don't know is that it's send to all your friends too and it installs naughty stuff on your computer.

Elftown isn't immune to this kind of attack either as you can send links here too, but the viruses aren't adjusted to log into Elftown and sent it further here in your name.

If you install a codex to view a video, then be damn sure to do it from the proper place and not from hermans.nicecodexes.org!
