As I was browsing around today, I noticed there was a new partnership between Chase and Facebook.com, so I decided to look further into it and sign up. So I signed up *yay* and everything is going fine when suddenly I look down and I see some invalid code.

Warning: require(../btmLinksLeft.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/ron/html/content.php on line 256

Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘../btmLinksLeft.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/share/pear’) in /home/ron/html/content.php on line 256

While yes, this is simply just a path problem, I would expect that Facebook.com would never run into these kinds of issues, always testing before releasing code.

Just as Google and MySpace teamed up with an advertising deal, Facebook.com and Microsoft have followed suit to have Facebook.com serve ads from the new Microsoft adCenter, reports ClickZ.com. MS will be the exclusive ad manager for Facebook.

According to site traffic measurement outfit Hitwise, MySpace grabbed nearly 80 percent of the traffic to social networking sites in June, while second-place Facebook trailed at about 7.6 percent. To be fair, the Facebook universe is far more exclusive than that of MySpace, which allows anyone and everyone (including TV and movie characters) to set up free profiles. Facebook limits profiles to high school and college students and faculty, as well as staffers from a handful of large companies including Apple, Accenture, Gap, Microsoft and Pepsi.

I’ve been a Facebook user for almost 2 years now and I really love it, I think it’s a great idea and I give a round of applause to Mark Zuckerberg (the founder) for creating it.
