EFFIN: THE TOWN THAT COULDN'T GET ON FACEBOOK!

 I'm for Effin!

I've had my own battles with Facebook. But at least I'm not poor  Effin, Ireland!

They had to battle Facebook to get their town on!

The whole story after the break...

Effin finally allowed on Facebook

By Rosa Golijan

Effin, a small village in the county of Limerick Ireland, finally has a place on Facebook. Why is this noteworthy? Because it's the end of a rather silly tale filled with Effin innuendo and Effin puns.

Barry Duggan of Ireland's Independent even reports — tongue firmly planted in cheek, I'm sure — that this particular "Facebook battle will go down in Effin history."

So what exactly happened?

Well, in the beginning of December 2011, a woman named Ann Marie Kennedy called attention to the fact that it was impossible to enter or select Effin in the "hometown" field of Facebook profiles.

Instead of recognizing or simply accepting the village's name, Facebook's interface suggested that perhaps users meant to enter Effingham, Illinois; New Effington, South Dakota or a number of other places.

Frustrated that she couldn't acknowledge her hometown, Kennedy attempted to reach out to Facebook in order to ask for some sort of fix, but had no success (in part due to the social network's lack of customer service contacts).

After hearing of Kennedy's tale, we also reached out to the social network. We were informed that "from time to time [Facebook is] alerted to oversights such as this in [its] mapping system," and that the company would "look to correct it to ensure places like Effin can be liked on Facebook."

In other words: Effin wasn't absent from Facebook because it might be confused with a vulgar term for sexual intercourse — as many initially assumed — but because of a technical quirk.

But now? Now that little quirk has been taken care of and the Facebook profiles of proud Effin residents — such as Kennedy — can appropriately reflect their place of residence:

It's worth noting that some people presently located outside of Ireland still appear to be unable to set Effin as their place of choice. The reason for this is unknown at the moment, though we intend to ask the folks at Facebook for an explanation.

EMMANUELLE JAMESON KICKED OFF FACEBOOK :(

Wanted to let you know why I'm not LIKEing and FRIENDing you all on FACEBOOK. Because I am no longer on FB.

It was just a matter of time...Facebook suspended my account. They don't seem to take kindly to Pixel Porn Stars on there.

I do find it agravating that so many who are obviously SL avatars get to keep their accounts and I don't. Particularly in the SL fashion world. I was very careful never to post any pics that were even R rated.

Like i said it was just a matter of time. And if anyone else got kicked out, let us know.

So so long Facebook. I much prefer TWITTER anyway!

PORNSTARS OFFICIALLY TOO NAUGHTY FOR FACEBOOK

Not a lot of interest in a Facebook site for the Pornstars. We'll hold off on that for now.

SHOULD THE SECOND LIFE PORNSTARS HAVE A PAGE ON FACEBOOK?

Ask Me Anything on Formspring.me

     Someone told me that the IM conversation that I posted answered questions that they were too afraid to ask. Why be afraid? I'm pretty much an open book & I don't get too offended by much.
     Now, you can be anonymous & ask me anything your erotic heart's desire. On the right of my blog is a box for http://www.formspring.me/. Feel free to ask whatever comes to mind? What's my favorite position? I'll tell you. My deepest fantasies? Sure thing. My favorite food? Yup. From here on, you have no excuses for not asking me. Also, if you're on formspring, let me know what your profile name is. There are a few questions I'd love to ask some of you.
