    Think I was probably one of the first to like you guys as it was just after you originally started out on there!..... I will continue to be one of the few to like Hexus posts!

    Come on people, show some support, you can't all be too elite for Facebook!

    Re: Like us on Facebook...

    I like it and have 'Liked' it too.

    Ok, I realise that saying I like it or
    that's nice dear
    isn't really helpful, so what I like is that you are using the timeline to show news events about what's happening in the world of Tech and this makes it look more accessible and this gives the news more of a contextual feel. It doesn't go very far back it goes, but it looks like it would be a valuable resource when looking up information about product releases once it has had more time to build more news articles and a history on there.

    I can imaging many geeks having nerdgasms when they see it. Long live the geeks.

    Why does Hexus like nVidia, but not AMD?

    Re: Like us on Facebook...

    I liked Hexus ages ago and get lots of hexus stuff in my Facebook - in fact quite often I open the main site in response to seeing something pop up in my fb feed.

    How sad is that?

    It'd be nice to get some "facebook exclusive!" comments or opinions occasionally though, rather than just echoing what's recently gone live on the main site. Give the fb account a bit of character

    I did wonder whether to encourage us to unify Facebook for forum posts into a single comments system. But you raise a good point in that things behave a little differently because the two platforms - the forums and Facebook - tend to get different sorts of people engaged.

    And then I remembered the time I saw a friend of mine had commented on something, I think on Techcrunch (but I can't remember for sure), and it came up on my Facebook feed. I replied to him, with an in-joke, and something else mildly sarcastic, thinking I was effectively replying to his "link" to the site - as it "the way" with Facebook. NO. Turns out my comment was added to the public comment tree, so a couple of people ripped it apart. It was never intended for anyone other than our circles of friends to read.

    Now, seeing as I keep the servers around here going, I hope you all consider me to be... not stupid. Therefore, I think it's safe to say that when you do "Facebook + site comments" and you do it wrong, it's not only confusing, but really flipping annoying when the behaviour is suddenly the opposite of what you've come to expect.

    TL;DR - I agree with scaryjim, I like the way we do things around here.
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();
