THE VERGE
Freaky Facebook bug?
Anna Strom just invited me to join a group for people whose babies were delivered by Pacific Midwifery. After I joined the group, I went to the “invite people to join” page, and saw a list of all the pending invitations, with the message that “19 invitations have not been sent”, and a “send” button waiting for me. I hit send, and all the people on that list who happened to be in my friend list got the message, but the remaining 14 are waiting there for Anna. But….what up, Facebook? That is one weird bug.
Turn It Off! British Columbia – The Pledge | 30 Days of Sustainability
On May 16th, I’m turning off…
1. My hair dryer (so no cracks about the 'do, ok?)
2. All the #@*!!## beeping, noisy kids' toys in our house. Let them play with carbon neutral, quiet blocks for the day.
3. My TV. I can read the American Idol results online. 😉
What will YOU turn off?
Facebook will keep us together
….love is subscribing to someone’s Facebook updates on your cell. The uncanny thing is how quickly Rob’s cell rings once I hit the return key.

Why would I live without all that electrical goodness, even for one day?
Because May 16th is “Turn It Off! BC” — a day for people across the province to turn off their lights and other non-essential electronic and electrical devices. We’re going to show the world that BC-ers don’t just talk the talk on sustainability — we’re prepared to talk in the dark.
Please join me by:
1. Forwarding this message to three (or more) of your Facebook friends (instructions below)
2. Joining the Turn It Off! BC Facebook group at http://www.facebook.com/gr
3. Taking the Turn It Off! pledge at http://30daysofsustainabil
To turn YOUR friends off….
1. Select this message (everything down to where it says THANKS!), copy it, and then hit the “share” link (above if you’re reading this in a profile, below if it’s a message in your inbox).
2. Choose the “send a message” tab, and paste this text into the body of your message.
3. Edit the list at the top of this message to replace one of my pledges with your own (or replace all 3 items).
4. Enter the names of 3 of your friends in the “To” field (Facebook will help fill it in), slap on a subject line (“Can you turn it off?”) and hit “send”.
And while you’re at it, why not post to your profile or your wall, too?
