Computer nerds got a sneak peek at a largely still world that has never made contact with the “higher web,” the silent majority. The ones that don’t know a browser from the internet or what the address bar does, the ones whose web experience is pre-determined by what their homepage is set to. The ones that disregard most information in a desperate attempt to just find something that seems halfway familiar. The users who figure out one way to do something and get overwhelmed if there is more than one way to accomplish a task.

Things people try to log into

Yeah! What the hell?

mrgan:

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.

Both! In the same form. I like when people care that much about their UI and UX.
