Facebook testing quota photo post

Posted on

It seems that the 6000 miles… Facebook feed has been having some issues lately, namely by not publishing post updates to people’s timelines. I’ve asked for and had a bit of assistance with testing some settings from some readers (thanks), mainly for the reason that I believe that it’s connected to this idea from Mnr Zuckerberg and chums:

Facebook is rolling out a new feature for users to opt in to receive notifications every time a page makes a post.

Attached to that feature is the option to have posts from the specific page appearing in your news feed. Quite why you would choose to Like a page and then not want their posts to appear in your news feed, I’m not sure, but Facebook works in mysterious ways.

Admin posts are never particularly pretty, so I’m going to throw in a quota photo to make this one vaguely more bearable.

It seems appropriate to use this photo of Port Erin by “Ron”, simply because it is also from Facebook – the Visit Isle Of Man page to be exact.

I bet that they don’t have problems getting their posts to publish on their users’ timelines. Pfft.

If you do Like 6000 miles… on Facebook, please let me know if this post appeared on your timeline. Thanks.

No Apologies

Yes, yes. I know that I have been rather brief of late. The number of emails telling me to “write something decent” has increased even above its usual mailbox-crashing level, while the number of readers has plummeted to previously unplumbed depths.

The reason for the latter, of course, is that you’re all on holiday, out of routine, and suddenly have many better things to do with your time. 6000 miles… may be preferably (just) to editing that thing the boss told you to edit or poking an Excel spreadsheet, but it simply doesn’t compare to sinking a ice cold Black Label in the sun.
And I know this, because I just sank an ice cold Black Label in the sun and it was far better than writing this post.

Look, I’m having a break from work at the moment, but I feel the need to keep delivering on the blog, despite the fact that currently I’m more often sitting in the sun and sinking Black Labels.

If you don’t like what you are reading on the blog at the moment, then please feel free to ask for a full refund. Normal service will be resumed after the holiday period. In the meantime, expect more quota photos from the Southern Tip; of sunsets and Black Labels being sunk.

Because I’m on holiday, and I make no apologies for that.
