Facebook hires Nick Clegg

[Wilf]

It's an odd move because it means Facebook is only one question away from destruction.

'Are you going to start charging a fee?'

It'll be like one of those films where the corporate baddies know the end is coming, but one poor sap can't get in the helicopter and is left on the roof of the skyscraper.

 

[killer b]

why would facebook start charging? They made 4 billion dollars last year.

Slippery shitehawk finds his niche at last. *shrug*

 

[mauvais]

Because Nick Clegg said they wouldn't. One of the fundamental rules of the universe.

 

[killer b]

ah yes.

 

[killer b]

On reflection, I think maybe Clegg has played Facebook here.

 

[StoneRoad]

another reason for me to avoid fasepest ...

 

[nogojones]

That's how you play someone isn't it? Appeal to their sense of self importance etc?

I've always said you're the best poster on these boards

Correct position. Have a gold star.

I'm a bite bemused by his choice of Clegg out of Osborne and Milliband, If I was Zuckerberg scheming to expand my influence and bolster my evil empire, I would have gone with Osborne, twat though he may be he has an air of competence about him that Clegg just doesn't. Not least because he was instrumental in screwing Clegg over.

Osborne is a bit busy making money out of that Russian guy, and making trouble for May, to be bothered by taking money from a yank.

I don't know how Facebook - of all companies - has failed to realise that nobody likes Nick Clegg.

 

[Mr.Bishie]

Clegg & faceache - made for each other.

LOL

Hey, 93,824 people currently like Nick Clegg. Comfortably ahead of the 67,799 who like 'Why did Nick Clegg cross the road? Because he said he wouldn't'.

They're clearly onto a winner there.

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

18,552,368 currently like Ed Sheeran but I guess he didn't fancy the job.

 

[chilango]

The Steve mclaren of politics - why the fuck people keep giving him work despite having a cv consisting entirely of gold plated fail, astounds me

There's a bit on his CV that'll ensure he has a lifetime of doors opening for him.

Hint - It's not his employment history.

Look on the bright side at least it proves they're not spying on what people are posting

 

[not-bono-ever]

I am disappointed at Facebook. Very disappointed. I may post something up later on it to express my displeasure . Or threaten to leave. That’ll teach them a lesson

A Russian data factory told them.

I have 13 nieces and nephews, I use Facebook to check in occasionally on their busy lives and post the odd like on their holiday pics, it give me a warm feeling knowing they realise that their uncle thinks about them once it a while after all I may need their help to escape when my own kids shove me in some crappy rest home.
I can't imagine myself paying even £9 a year for a warm fuzzy feeling never mind anymore

I'm not sure this is quite true. They've come to somehow completely dominate mass communication in the 21st century, and I'm fairly sure that's not totally down to blind luck.

And my dead dog has an account, as does BB1's lost teddy, Pebbles. It's a place of miracles

Yet the female breast is banned, & neo nazism is perfectly acceptable. Dominate is the right word.

I’m joining Facebook to build bridges between politics and tech

Vom. Vom. Vom vom vom vom vom.

It can transform how we work, play and build relationships.

"Play"

Vom.

I think this is evidence of their malevolence rather than their cluelessness tbf
