Am I missing something, or does the almost killing facebook headline boil down to "I told him not to bother and he ignored me"?


Yes, you are missing the update at the bottom, wherein he mentioned the readers who are missing the intended irony or the article.


I'm not sure every example of saying something that's wrong can be described as "irony" :/

I did read that, to be honest it just made me slightly more confused.


I have noticed the update but I fail to understand his irony. If he did not suggest to Zuck even indirectly the idea of News Feed who would care about that post and why?


Its all tongue-in-cheek ... get it now? Everybody relax.


Fair enough, but it does seem to me that if it's entirely humerous, it's also entirely not worth writing, yet alone reading.
