What better way to show the benefits of a push up bra than having a flat-chested man model them (androgynous supermodel, Andrej Pejic).
Brilliant.
If You Like Links, You’ll Hate What Facebook Is Doing To Them - The Future Buzz
Case in point, this weekend I tried to share a link to a story in The Guardian I found interesting. You’ll note (as I highlighted in a red box) even my browser recognized this was a link to the publication’s website, not Facebook.
However, due to how The Guardian has configured their site’s Facebook integration, anyone clicking the link is not taken to the expected URL. Instead a user is taken to this page to authorize use of The Guardian application.
Facebook is hijacking links to external websites of publications that have built social news apps on Facebook, and redirecting users to said internal Facebook apps. Ridiculous.
