Changing Facebook

Posted at 3:42 PM on 1-17-10 by Rob T Firefly

Sidepocket informs us that over on Facebook, the existing NYC2600 Alumni group was recently left without an admin. To remedy this and prevent similar occurrences in the future, Sidepocket has recreated NYC2600′s Facebook presence as a Fan Page, which allows for multiple admins as well as being easier to join and use.

So in technical terms, Facebook users are advised to ditch the old and busted and get in on the new hotness!

Interested users of Facebook and other social networks and online services are encouraged to check out our Internet Forums page, where you can find NYC2600 presences all over this great Internet of ours, or start new ones where needed.

Take out the trash, win a MacBook?

picHave you got old and useless junk that not even HAX can make useful again, just taking up space? Here’s a chance to free up that space for new and useful junk.

This Saturday, January 16, the Lower East Side Ecology Center and Tekserve are throwing another of their e-waste recycling events. Bring your old computers, printers, monitors, TVs, and other unwanted electronics to Tekserve on West 23rd St (between 6th and 7th aves) for recycling. In addition to the generally warm and fuzzy feeling associated with recycling in public, every participant gets a $25 coupon and a chance to win a new MacBook Air.

See Tekserve’s page about the event for details, and the full list of acceptable recyclables.
