I had my first friend in the UK delete themselves from Facebook today. I’ve had others starting to moan that its a bit crap. This coming quite soon after they initially exclaimed how good it was. The web truly is a fickle place.

I’m not saying Facebook is about to join Tech Crunch’s Deadpool, but it does make me think the UK wave is probably peaking and it will receed in time. I envisage users won’t delete themselves as much, more simply login much less then eventually not at all.

I never liked the name anyway.

Yay. Feels like a little landmark for me. The GoogleMapDirectory for Vanilla finally reached a thousand downloads today. It’s not massive, but for a wee little plugin, I think it’s done OK.

It still has some way to go, the database layer is still far from perfect and Vanilla sites that use friendly URL’s seem to be having a few problems, but that aside, this has given me a lovely little warm glow inside.

Ahhh.
