If you are a Facebook fan then you must have used the official Facebook desktop application.The app is good but it’s not detailed and offers only limited features. You can’t see live notifications of new stories, can’t post a comment and if you need to upload a photo you have to open Facebook in the browser all the way. If you are not quite satisfied with the official Facebook desktop application or other desktop clients have a look at Facebook –Photo uploader. It is a new desktop client for Facebook, released by Adobe with really useful features.

Not that I really care, since I don't use FB, but I didn't see any mention of cross-platformness.
I use FB so I'll have to check it out to see if it runs on linux.
.. and speaking about FB ;)

I found these Facebook profiles. searching for Caitlyn Martin LXer's FB: Caitlyn Martin (Bellingham, WA) This person is a He, and his Bellingham, WA, US locale is less than 2 hours South of big-city Vancouver, BC, Canada. There's also a Facebook profile for a 15-year old Caitlyn Martin, a She.

(not related to FB, but there's also a renown Ohio State Buckeyes soccer player Caitlyn Martin, who is also a She, but she certainly isn't the one and the same person as the IT caitlyn... also without a Facebook profile) -fb



@flufferbeer: There are many more than that. It's a surprisingly common name. If you add spelling variations (i.e.: Caitlin) it gets to be really, really common.

When I did my third and final contract for IBM Global Services I was on site dedicated to one customer. At that customer site the standard for username was first initial, last name. They had a maybe 1000 user accounts on that network. I was the 13th cmartin. The standard to resolve conflicts like that was to add letter from the first name but we still had an eight character limit. Then you start chopping off bits of the last name. Any guess what I ended up with?

For the record: I am not on Facebook and have no plans to be. I am on Linkedin.

Well, I see that this Ohio State Buckeyes soccer player Caitlyn Martin w/o a FB profile is called K-Mart. And on FB profiles, TC's Schroder certainly has one, but there's also one by a Carla Schroeder Rogers (extra 'e' in the Schroder).

This 2nd Schroeder looks about the same age as the K-Mart Caitlyn Martin. caitmart

Now wouldn't it be funny if any of these young women use the New Facebook Desktop Client By Adobe on HannahMontanaLinux :D ?? But then again, the Hannah Montana phenomena is probably utterly irrelevant for college-age women on up, whilst Facebook and Twitter will stay as the rage. Still.... hopefully Linux of any type will catch on.
@gus3: You nailed it.

Well, probably somebody decided the college-generation is already lost to proprietary software and we have to aim for younger children? I mean, you might have noticed the absence of 'teletubbix' about a decade ago, which probably explains a lot.
This Facebook thing is an Adobe Air app, so it does run on Linux.
