“I’m awesome!” new Facebook bug

May21
2010
12 Comments Written by Rabin Acharya


Nobody have to say that he/she is awesome thousand times. I thought this when I logged in my Facebook account. But when I saw other Friends also liked it then I realized something new happened. New Facebook <External> bug is dwelling in ours friends walls which spams your Facebook account displaying <Facebook> full of “I’m awesome!”.

Actually When clicked, it opens an external page “http://www.fitnesschan.org/awesome.html” . The page is no longer there and browser displays the error. The new Facebook feature enables users to “LIKE” any page in web. It seems that the web page was created with a long title due to which the long message was displayed. This must be a new concern for Facebook developers. Here’s how this look on your wall:

I am awesome on Facebook

Is this a virus? Till now, we have found now evidence of it being a virus. But for being secure, please don’t click on the link. Similar tactics can be utilized in the future to create a link to a malware or virus. Hope Facebook gets to know about this bug and removes it soon.

To get rid of this goto your profile page and remove your recent status.

Please don’t click the link.  Now a days Facebook users are tried to made victims of many virus so please be sure of everything you clicked.
