Facebook Management
I spend a reasonable amount of time whining about Facebook for various reasons, but one of the things that really irritates me is that the profile data is so poor.
I haven’t seen you for 20 years – I want to know if and when you got married, if you have kids, what you do and where you’re working, where you live and how you got there. Facebook lacks most of these standard social profiling fields, and it is really, really annoying.
Even more annoying, however, is having to fill in all of this information for the people you reconnect with after decades. I don’t mind people asking – I’m curious about them too – but I do mind answering with the same information over and over again.
So here’s my answer to that problem. Feel free to rip it off, although you probably want to change the bit about other people’s boyfriends.

Simply: genius.
Now if there was a way of automatically setting it to automatically send to people you connect with without having the inevitably-eventually-depressing act of copying and pasting the same stale old details about your life…
Great work, as ever. :)
