Things that have gone into the Facebook Graveyard

Things that have gone into the Facebook Graveyard. RIP:


Super Pokes. Remember those? Facebookers used to use them to flirt with other facebookers. A hug was a good thing, a kiss was even better, and a wink had a meaning all of its own...

Bumper Stickers. You could display them all the way down on your profile, making your profile about two miles long, and very colorful. It was the perfect means of expression. The only downside was that you felt compelled to accept all bumper sticker gifts...even the lousy ones that had nothing to do with you.

Flair. Another version of Bumper Stickers...only rounder and placed on a virtual corkboard. These were quite fun and expressive if you could weed through the Twilight and Jonas Brothers ones...

The Wall-to-Wall button. Every now and again it resurects itself and one can use it, but in the past, it was always there so that you could directly post on someone's wall. Now we mostly just have lousy comment buttons.

Notifications for useless applications. The good part was you would get on facebook and see over 100 notifications, and for 1.5 seconds feel special and good about yourself. The bad part was that 98 of the notifications said, "Bob said something about you on Friend Game! See what he said HERE!" Once you clicked on it, you would have to play the game for 62 hours straight, answering 2,567 questions before it let you see that Bob thought that you have a nice sense of humor. This is one of the lost Facebook items that is missed very little...
