Facebook Steals the World’s Traffic

For nearly thirty minutes on February 8th Facebook “borrowed” some websites. Lots and lots of websites. Users logged in to their Facebook account while on sites that are integrated with the social giant’s network found themselves redirected to Facebook.com.

The issue was corrected quickly and far more annoying than damaging, but the precedent such a bug presents is disconcerting. With the ever increasing interconnections among websites one can quickly see how mistakes can lead to cascading events that can affect thousands and millions of sites.

There can be a trade off for the functionality site integrations bring so make sure you only partner with companies you trust. If the companies you trust still have problems just hope that they fix them quickly!

So if you were on an Ultimento-powered site on Thursday and suddenly found yourself on Facebook, don’t worry, we didn’t break anything!

SOPA? NOPA!

Posted on by

Does anything about Google’s homepage today strike you as unusual? Yeah, the giant black bar does seem a bit odd, but it’s extremely important. Google, Wikipedia, Craigslist, Facebook, Reddit; the list goes on and on of technology companies protesting the American Congress’s consideration of the SOPA and PIPA anti-privacy bills.

We’re generally not ones to picket and protest, but these proposed laws would severely infringe on the freedoms of communication that have come to define the Internet. These threats are real and we’d like to encourage any and all who are listening to please reach out to learn more about these bills and to have their voice heard if they don’t agree.

Thanks for listening and help save the Internet!
