Many of you have asked, “What will happen to our custom Facebook welcome pages and apps when the change to Timeline is made on March 30? True to form, Facebook is doing away with what they call “canvas apps” or “tabs” as it did away with FBML when it introduced iframes. What does this mean

Does your little one have a digital trust fund?
Hmmm. A digital trust fund. Is that like Monopoly money? Didn’t we get better checks and balances on our financial systems recently, you ask? A digital trust fund is not monetary.

Don’t buy into the Facebook iframes hype–YET
We have been diligently researching the Facebook switch on Friday from FBML to iframes. Our advice? Don’t panic. Static FBML will be around for awhile.

Feeling funky about Facebook’s Farmville newsfeeds?
Honestly, I don’t understand where my friends find the time to “virtually fertilize” others’ farms on Farmville or cook too much “virtual onion soup” in Cafe World. Funny, I’m always working while they’re burning stew or plowing fields online. Worse yet, they have to tell me every time they do so. Want to control which 3rd party
