Just wanted to drop by, and say I love your sites. I found your website from someone who did a review on mine. I subscribed to your feed, and look forward to coming back. I'm currently hosting a contest over at my website, you should certainly check it out. A very quick way to make some quick cash. Anyways, I really love your blog Andy, look forward to coming back.

I know what you mean - I have a mobile ('cell phone') but I;m betting an Australian number wouldn't go down for them.
Would they even take a '+' signon the front? Seems unlikely.
I should probably try it before I whine, of course :)

I agree that facebook is crackbook nowadays. What does that thing offer other than superficial relationships? :P The thing is ugly and cumbersome so I'm going to dump my account and.... hold up someone just added me as a friend....

Some great points there. I keep getting that invisible CAPTCHA too and I also have no idea how to define my relationship with half the people I am connected to.

I think you can import your contacts without giving them the password though. Export as you suggested from google and then try the link that says "Click here if you use an email client (like Outlook) »" to get the option to import the contacts.

Hi Andy Beard,

You sure do have a great critical mind!
This review is so good and the way you write it, just as you say: "with loads of attitude"!

Luv it!

AndyBeard · 2 years ago

One of the things that annoys me about so many very good blogs is when they review a product, the reviews are often watered down with no solid opinion, almost as if they are scared to say something positive or negative.

I am not talking about the blogs which only write positive reviews about affiliate products that you can immediately tell are fake.

Unless I have something unique to say about something (good or bad), I will generally avoid the topic completely.

Regarding the email client there is an easy way to get round facebook's stupid pathetic insistence you download your entire contacts list to do a search

1. Create a completely new hotmail/yahoo/whatever account
2. Add ONLY the email contacts you want to search into the contacts list

you don't need to apply a categorization to each relationship. you can skip that step...

AndyBeard · 2 years ago

I am well aware of that, but it seems 99% of the people I might add as a contact of facebook won't meet any of the current categorization.

For me that is quite a major flaw in how "welcoming" the platform is for anyone who isn't a student.

Recently joined Facebook and finding those captchas a pain in the ####.

So would like to verify, but have never owned a mobile phone.

I'm not technologically backwards or anything, just never needed/wanted one.

Run my own online business from a home office and don't do much business over the phone (got a land line), do most business by email.

If I'm not in the office I don't want to be contacted by phone anyway.

Really irritating the only way to verify is via a mobile phone, how short sighted! Like you I've got verified PayPal (business), multiple credit cards, have a mortgage and yet can't prove to FaceBook I'm real :)
