When the Facebook developer Platform was first announced, thoughts of brilliant applications using Facebook’s amazing viral marketing ability was all I could think about. It was touted as an online revolution. Colleges ran classes on developing Facebook applications and every Tom, Dick and Harry had a play around with FBML (Facebook Markup Language) – myself included.

Just tried to change my name on facebook and before it gave me this:
Before confirming your name change request, please read the following.
* Your Facebook profile must be attached to your real name.
* You must include your full name.
* Celebrity names, nicknames, or other fake names are not allowed and will not be approved.
* Obscenity, curses, and swear words are not allowed and will not be approved.
* ISn’t~ ThIs <3 AnN0YiNg 2 ReAd? Non-standard capitalization and special characters are not allowed and will not be approved.
* Do not try to combine sentences into one word; Jane Lookatmysupercoolnewnickname Smith will not be approved.
* We review all name changes, so this may take a while.
No wonder it hasn’t been taken over by the deviants yet.
