Twitter on Facebook Pages

Thought I’d post this here, too:

I wanted to share a facebook application I just learned about. It adds a tab to a facebook “page” that shows twitter updates:

http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=53267368995#/apps/application.php?v=wall&id=53267368995

It was difficult to find, I didn’t realize it was possible. For a long time I thought facebook only allowed you to push your FB updates to twitter, and not vice versa.

Hope you find it useful. They have a free and pro version. I’m using free.

What does it mean?

Google’s code. This is a reference to the all your base are belong to us. However, on google’s homepage in the animation of the alien spaceship, the aliens are stealing the google “o” thus we have “all your O are belong to us”

Just convert the numbers to the alphabetical counterparts (a=1, b=2)

This is using something similar to the caesar cipher

What does “All your base are belong to us” mean?

Wikipedia says:

All your base are belong to us” (often shortened to “All Your Base“, “AYBABTU“, or simply “AYB“) is a broken English phrase that was central to an Internet phenomenon, or meme, in 2000-2002, with the spread of a Flash animation that depicted the slogan. The text is taken from the opening cut scene of the 1991 European Sega Mega Drive version of the Japanese video game Zero Wing,[1] by Toaplan which was poorly translated by Sega of Europe. It was popularized by the Something Awful message forums.[2] The lines For great justice and Somebody set up us the bomb are often replicated as a secondary memes, with the phrase for great justice applied to an ordinary or inappropriate action.
