I can't imagine anything more horrific than publishing my emails to facebook.

To be honest, I stopped reading after the first paragraph because the text-shadow hurts my eyes.

This is why iReader is my favorite Chrome extension by far: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ppelffpjgkifjfgnba...

I stopped after few words. This is unreadable.

[i_am_fabs → grigy]

seems that the text-shadow is disabled now ...

[tterrace → Hopka]

Or the "Would you like to see more?" facebook box that popped up when I was two inches into the article.

If you are really interested in the text, use the inspector, navigate to the #content div and then you can toggle the text-shadow on and off. I hope this helped!

I appreciate that you're trying to be helpful but it bought to mind this: http://www.dilbert.com/strips/comic/1994-07-18/

I saw this in the PMD fb group; it's a cool hack, it would be even better to hook this up to your code repository / bug tracking / CI, etc. :)

facebook story every time someone breaks a build? fuck yeah.

[Karunamon → mpeg]

It's definitely a new spin on the whole 'punish the developer that broke the build' addons like retaliation.py:

So what's the use case for this? You basically have to make new profiles for this, right, so you don't risk your emails accidentally popping up when FB makes a slight adjustment to their API and default privacy controls?

Also, theoretically, you cc everyone you want to see an email...so FB notifying does what exactly?

"your our"?

Oops. Thanks :)

I'm glad we inspired you. I love the way you limited your Open Graph actions.

They made an FB group a developer of their app, and didn't approve the actions. Then only people in the group can see the OG actions.

awesome idea, and makes you wonder how else you could leverage open graph for semi-internal apps/projects... well done!
