Those behind the controls of modern technology or web space are creating headaches. Great start to the month. The thunders and spotty rain was tough on my wardrobe, as it is fighting to decide between putting away winter gear and wear summer fabrics. Mixing layers for now.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Latest Facebook fiasco is to do with their app. Apparently people's mobile phone numbers were appearing in Facebook and search engines because of Facebook app contacts sync feature. If switched on, it gobbles your mobile phone's address book and thrust them online. MacWorld states there is a warning message. Which I never came across while using the app. Whereas Electricpig.co.uk blog argues, pfft, people mobile phone numbers are already in public sphere.
Of course, mostly Americans but friends of mine in HK and Malaysia have stated their telephone numbers were in Facebook and the Internet, when they had never entered it online in the first place. Therefore it is a global issue. But why would a normal person care, right? Well, until the law can hold that Facebook user accountable, such action is not criminal. Everyone who is remotely associated with that user will have to endure suffering whenever information meant to be offline ends up online. Also this put silent numbers or internal work numbers in danger. When will Facebook learn to respect data and people's emotions?

Work wise organisation's website was snazzly looking and semi mobile internet friendly. However, a few flaws had let to angry customers. A superseded email was linked to new email address on one of the pages. Another is no clear wording or signage on website for non-affiliated library wanting our services. Well, I am informed it will be corrected by end of this month for both scenarios. For now, I just apologise and try to appease to the best of my abilities.
Web designers sure forget that users like a few clicks to get to where they want most on a website. No one likes to waffle through aisles and aisles of products (in this case) text t get to a login page. It is even worse on a smart phone, when the website has no equivalent mobile version. Since users do not complain the website remains as it is stalemate. However, we get the brunt of crap as FOH. Enjoy.
