Things people try to log into

mrgan:

Regarding this morning’s amazing occurrence where people who had googled for “facebook login” and got taken to a news story about Facebook then assumed that the news website was Facebook itself…

Flickr user jimwhimpey posted screenshot of login pages for Facebook and MySpace; this resulted in comments from users trying to log in to those websites using small screenshots of them, or even assuming that they’re already on Facebook, talking to their high school friends and hot ladies. There are also spam/scam posts, of course.

And here’s another post about Facebook login with loads of similar comments.

This is just bizarre to me. I knew that some people weren’t technical. But I didn’t realize that people didn’t even know how to go to a site address. They just Google what they’re looking for every time they want to do something online? What the what?
