Facebook unveiled their plans for a mobile network<\/a> on Wednesday, and everyone was kinda like, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Oh.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Their biggest announcement was advanced \u00e2\u20ac\u0153single sign-on\u00e2\u20ac\u009d technology, which means you sign into your account once (like, right now), and then every website in the world links to your Facebook account and you never get signed out or your money back. This is important because… people hate logging into things I guess? Facebook seems pretty focused on improving the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153typing your username and password\u00e2\u20ac\u009d experience on mobile devices by replacing login screens with big friendly \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Log Me In Via My Social Networking Avatar\u00e2\u20ac\u009d buttons. Never again will you have to remember your banking information! Just \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Facebook it up! (patent pending),\u00e2\u20ac\u009d check your balance and then post a status update right from your checking account summary page.<\/p>\n

Similarly, when one of my Facebook friends is spewing hate propaganda about the current administration, I can one-click my way over to Amazon (WITHOUT EVER SIGNING IN OR OUT ARE YOU READING THIS) and view a personalized shopping cart filled with Glen Beck pamphlets, teabags and NOBAMA bumper stickers. Then I can just say, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The president is a MOSLIM,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and through the power of voice recognition technology, the items are purchased, shipped, and delivered to my door within two days. Facebook!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Times are hard, and people are cheap. Deal websites<\/a> are hot right now, because I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m not going to pay full price for 15,000 CD jewel cases, ok? I just won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t. Has this ever happened to you? You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re at the Gap looking at a pair of slacks, and they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re $60, but you only have $48, and you live in a state that doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t tax clothing, and you just leave the store because, for real man, you can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t even afford pants? Once again, Facebook\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s all up in your shit, saving you fat sacks of cash with their new \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Loyalty Ala-Cart Push Location Aware Messaging Service for Deals\u00e2\u20ac\u009d system. Here\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s how it works:<\/p>\n

1. Go to The Gap.
\n2. Check into The Gap via Facebook Mobile to tell all of your friends that you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re at The Gap.
\n3. Post a status update about your experience at The Gap so far.
\n4. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Like\u00e2\u20ac\u009d your status from step 3.
\n5. Receive a digital coupon for 20% off your purchase!
\n6. Post pictures of yourself in the changing room. You look great!
\n7. Take your items to the register.
\n8. Befriend the clerk behind the register.
\n9. Pay for your purchase, but don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t forget your coupon!
\n10. Achievement Unlocked – Purchased slacks.<\/p>\n

These are just a few of the first steps into full Facebook life integration, and even more exciting developments are on the horizon, and no, this isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t scary at all! What are the odds of someone stealing your phone and having access to every account that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s tied to your Facebook account that you can never sign out of? I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m pretty sure odds don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t even exist for something as implausible as that. But if you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re like me and you want some cold hard statistics, here you go – one in a hundred million nevers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
