Facebook connect - now spam your family!

We're sure by now you have all (or at least most of you) heard about or seen the Facebook connect for your Etsy shop. Etsy has been working diligently since May to turn out this wonderful promotional tool for its sellers.

aaaahahahahah sorry, I couldn't keep that up.

The truth is, from what we can gather in statements posted on and off Etsy is that Facebook developed the app and eBay added it so Etsy did too (even though they try to take credit for it - you slimy bastards). But it doesn't seem to work on Etsy and it can only add links to your personal profile, not your fan page (this is a Facebook thing). It might work in IE, but other browser users are reporting errors and/or sluggishness.

Etsy, for all things spam! If they can integrate the code properly, that is.

If you click on the icon on the top menu of your screen after logging in, you can choose to not have it show again if you'd rather forget it exists.

Etsy, y'all seriously need to regroup, put down the crack pipe, and focus on some reality.

If you were quoted, congratulations and thanks! You can find your celebratory "I've been Quoted" (and other EB avatars) by clicking here.

Scheduled Downtime on the Busiest Shopping Weekend..

http://www.etsy.com/storque/etsy-news/etsy-alert-scheduled-site-maintenance-sunday-november-30-at--2992/

Here in this Dorque article, they note that the site will be scheduled for maintenance on Sunday, Nov 30, between 4-6am EST.

Well, golly gee fuckers, this is the busiest shopping weekend of the year for the United States, and possibly for international customers to get great deals on items too.

We all know how the upgrades went the last time they did this during the holiday season.. *cough*clusterfuck*cough*

How about growing a brain, Admin and quit messing with our businesses in a way that could adversely impact our own holiday spending cash?? What in the flying fuck were you thinking?!? Oh wait, you weren't and that's part of the problem...
