Fun with Facebook Photo Search
Most of my readers are facebook users -- if you aren't either go to college or sit this entry out.
Here is yet another way to kill time on facebook. You can search for pictures of a person just by typing their name in. Facebook doesn't show you how to do this but I will.
This is all you need to know if you're at OSU, just cut and paste this URL into your browser, at the very end, type in the name you'd like to search for.
http://osu.facebook.com/photo_search.php?name=
Example:
If I wanted to find pictures of Finke, who doesn't have facebook, I would type
http://osu.facebook.com/photo_search.php?name=Jason Finke
and up pops some pics of goofy ass Finke.
If you want to search for pictures of someone at a different school, just change the osu to whatever it is for the school you want.
Example:
If I want to search for pictures of beer at Ohio University I type
http://ou.facebook.com/photo_search.php?name=beer
Now that you know how to do it, it's time to have some fun. For instances, look at all the dumbasses that pop up when you do a search on Beer.
If you do a search on douche, you get the following:
The affectionate term of Shit head reveals to us, this scathing editorial of a school up North.
Feeling ever more bold to see what I would find on facebook, I searched for dickhead, but alas, there were no results. Apparently there are no dickheads at Ohio State. However, a search on dick yielded this PSA made by an RA:
So now, go out into the facebook world with your newfound knowledge and see what kind of random shit you find out there. For those that think this may simply be a flaw in the security system of facebook, don't be so sure. The people who programmed this site seem to know about it and have a sense of humor to boot. Skeptical? Do a search for 'fag' or 'gay'
Oh and if you stumble on this site because you heard your photo was on my blog, then stop being a douche and posting your pictures all over facebook.

FB seems to have finally killed this function. Or have you found another work-around?
