Facebook surveys?

Mull3t · 28 Mar 2011 at 20:17

Anyone seen these popping up on your wall? Some random in Iraq posts some silly survey question which within a few days spreads like wildfire and you have loads taking up your wall...

Anyway to disable?

They were a nice idea. But as expected there are now 1 million of them floating around and it has got annoying quickly with silly questions!

The worst thing about Facebook ever. And you can't hide them!

The link? I think its because so many people are using it to block stuff so it keeps going down

You have to install the thingy and then restart your browser, its blocked them on mine.

Activated my Facebook today to sync with my phone and saw this.

What is the point of posting questions here?
"For the lulz obviously"

The spam's getting worse and worse.

Though it's partially my fault.

I erm, did, wanna see some Italian bird's massive hot cross buns.

Nice one

Hopefully these surveys don't show on my HTC!

Fbpurity is on Opera's extension page, with some reviews as well:

It's intended for personal questions amongst friends I guess; what colour should I dye my hair, which tattoo should I get, etc.

At the moment it's just daft impersonal non-questions; "north vs. south", "x university vs y university", etc.

Freelanc3r · 28 Mar 2011 at 21:24

fbpurity doesn't work for me on Firefox4/Minefield4. :/

Looks like a clever app though.

Edit: Works now. Restarted FF twice.

Brilliant shout knip, been moaning about them for days

snapdragon · 28 Mar 2011 at 21:37

Thanks for passing that on knip, very nifty tool and one I'll be sharing with friends
