A friend (who I totally busted with this) points out that while he does have it installed, he hasn't actually used it. Which seems like a fair distinction to make.
Because the title implies an article about Facebook, not a direct link to Facebook which you can only use if you have a Facebook account and login to it.
I'm not sure why you are coming to the defence of this clearly empty and fatuous comment but doing so just encourages this sort of empty contribution to HN.
Indeed there is a certain amount of irony in placing an article about a bug in a casual sex hookup facebook app --that permits others to see you're a user when the whole selling point of the app is that they can't-- behind a facebook garden wall that one must log in to see. Truth in advertising and brand trust and all that jazz.
Though really, I just don't like logging into walled gardens if I can avoid it. Others linked directly to articles.
But I will definitely try harder next time to ensure that my comments are appropriately lengthy and sufficiently witty, because I would hate to leave a comment that wasn't living up to HNs contribution standards.
