Facebook now lets you login via your username

Title says it all. You can now login using your username - the same username you've chosen for your profile.

If you haven't, then... I'm not sure. But it's definitely quicker than typing your email address again.

Facebook, finally with SMS notifications

I just saw this pop up in my account - Facebook will let us use SMS as an alert-based service. Interesting.

From what I've gathered right now, you can get alerts for wall posts, pokes, comments, inbox messages and a few other things. Oh, and if you want, you can subscribe to someone's status feed by typing in their name either via SMS or the web interface.

The service works with Warid, Mobilink and Telenor in Pakistan. I'm sure they have support for other operators abroad.

And this comes amid my decreased usage of Facebook. Interesting, indeed.

If you have your boss added on Facebook as a friend...

... just make sure this doesn't happen. Ever.

Google Wave

I managed to get my hands on a Google Wave account yesterday. It's tons of fun - but waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too overwhelming. I don't think I'm allowed to reveal any screenshots as such, but what I can say is that it's still buggy.

So how would I put Google Wave as? Let's say Facebook + IM + Email + Wikis + Collaborations + widgets/apps... not sure, but I think it pretty much redefines "social".

So far, it's slow as well, but that's probably because it's using HTTPS.
