That’s the newest meme (I predict)… Leaving a comment on a blog that says something like, “This blog is cool and all, but where’s my Facebook login?” Or you can vary it up a bit.

Why? you ask.

Well, apparently, a number of people login to Facebook by going to Google, searching for “Facebook login” and clicking on the first result.

For a while, the first result was an article on the Facebook login.

So, people ended up at that article rather than at Facebook. Thus, there was no Facebook login. But, the site’s comment system let you login through Facebook, Twitter, OpenID, etc. to leave a comment.

People would sign in to the comment system and not get to Facebook, because, you know, the site isn’t Facebook. It seems some people just assumed Facebook redecorated… again.

The site later added a notice in bold lettering that they are, in fact, not Facebook.

So, now it can be a meme. This blog is great and all, but where’s my Facebook login?
