Facebook screws up sometimes too

1000 things that grind my gears, Website reviews No Comments »

If you think that orkut is the only social networking platform that cannot count, think again!

We’ve all had problems with orkut’s calculations gone wrong with number of friends, scraps, posts in communities. It’s a common error you get when you see when you check a community thread with number of posts, say ’14′, but when you click through, you get only 11.

But facebook has gone a step ahead and has started messing up with dates. You can actually write a wall post in future as well :)

I went to a person’s profile to wish him ‘happy budday’, but guess what… people had already wished him ‘tomorrow’ and he had replied to them as well. I thought it would be some kind of problem due to time-zone difference, but he’s from India as well, so my theory had to just bite dust then and there.

p.s.: Yes, the birthday dude’s nickname is ‘mausi’.

And yes, wishing people ‘tomorrow’ for their birthday is another thing that really grinds my gears.

Orkut ads gone wrong?

Google is supposed to be the best when it comes to targeted advertising. And as orkut is another product from google, ads on it aren’t supposed to be that off the mark either.

Now, I don’t know where in my orkut profile have I mentioned anything for which I deserve an ad like this one:

orkut - home

Actually forget the targeting, how are these kind of ads even allowed on google?!

Vegetarian dishes have strange names: And paneer is one of those names which people just can’t associate with anything edible. So what do they do? Change it to banner, which is obviously a much more edible vegetarian dish. Don’t believe me? Have a look yourself:

Banner butter masala

And that’s what really grinds my gears!

So here I was, at a railway station, trying to find a place to get some cold drinks. Finally found an IRCTC counter, and guess how did it look:

And that is what that grinds my gears :)

P.S.: Wonder what the gay kids are up to, btw.
