Things people try to log into
Yeah! What the hell?
Regarding this morning’s amazing occurrence where people who had googled for “facebook login” and got taken to a news story about Facebook then assumed that the news website was Facebook itself…
Flickr user jimwhimpey posted screenshot of login pages for Facebook and MySpace; this resulted in comments from users trying to log in to those websites using small screenshots of them; or even assuming that they’re already on Facebook, talking to their high school friends and hot ladies. There are also spam/scam posts, of course.
And here’s another post about Facebook login with loads of similar comments.
There’s also a small, black market of websites offering to “help you log in to Facebook.” I won’t link to any for obvious reasons; I’ll bet good money they won’t actually help you log in to Facebook.
Is this just an outcome of Facebook’s monstrous popularity? Is it because Facebook redesigns all the time? Is their login form confusing? Note that when you start searching for “trouble log…” on Google, it autocompletes with “…logging into Facebook.” Facebook is also the top suggestion for “can’t log in…”
Man, Facebook - what the hell.
