Even googled about it, but saw nothing informative
Having just googled again, I still see nothing that is actually informative from the top 10 results. Most point to Atlassian's site. They have the uaual marketing blurb:
Identity Management for Web Apps
Finally, a single sign-on and user identity tool that's easy to use, administer, and integrate.
Users can come from anywhere – Active Directory, LDAP, Crowd itself, or any mix thereof. Control permissions to all your applications in one place – Atlassian, Subversion, Google Apps, your own apps.
Great! It's a way to sign into webapps. How enlightening. I have gotten a better description of it from the complaint posts below, than from searching for it in your approved way. But thank you for your concern of my inertial-challanged state.

In addition to the original poster and myself, I see several others posting either similar queries, or responses dismissive of this product. So don't act like I have to sign up for tech courses for this software before I comment on it.
No, you got the important ones. I was wondering the exact same thing myself. Even googled about it, but saw nothing informative outside of their website, which would only slightly answer the first part.
So, what are your plans for the upcoming holiday? We are going to have a cookout with friends. Hope you enjoy whatever you have planned. Bye.
(That part added to give this/. story some meaning in our lives.)
No, no. They couldn't have done all that. All the liberals talk about is a videotape of a helicopter combat mission. These other things you mention must be lies. Lies I say, just to besmirch Julian's and Manning's good names.
Why shouldn't someone part of WikiLeaks, a secret leaking site, leak WikiLeaks' secrets? Surely you can't be surprised by this.
You can't tell the difference between leaking information in the public interest, such as the fact that diplomats sometimes don't like the people they publicly pretend to like when they are forging international relations, and a... wait, what was I saying?
Not an issue. The government has a vault of Twinkies, frozen in liquid nitrogen, which is itself frozen in liquid helium. They have a 5-year supply of Twinkies available for all their double-agents in other countries, which number in the thousands. So when Hostess went bankrupt, the feds simply thawed out a week's worth of payment at a time, and kept everyone happy. They knew someone would start production back up before their stockpile ran out.
Now, you may ask yourself, where in the world could the government hide such a storage of precious material? Let's just say that the gold bars inside Fort Knox aren't as dense and solid as they used to be.
Before my wife and I were married, we were spotted at the mall one day. The mall in the city, on the other side of the island. The largest shopping mall in the state of Hawaii. One of my mother-in-law's friends saw us walking together and holding hands.
Imagine the shock my future wife got when her mother asks her about "that young man you were with today".
In Hawaii, everywhere you go there is someone related to or friends with your family.
Yes Virginia, the Laffer curve (as well as our gianormous deficit) both indicate that taxes in America are too low at least as far as Mr. Laffer and his curve are concerned.
Only if you think the purpose of government is to take as much real money as possible from its citizens.
I, for one, don't agree with that basis of reasoning.
Considering the number of suicides from kids who were cyber-bullied for years, I don't think their position is as radical as it seems.
As the father of a teenage girl who was bullied at one school, if it ever led that far, the school would have several less students in it the next month.
Between the two options, which would you rather have?
Then I started noticing web sites where you couldn't participate if you were unwilling to provide your FB credentials. There are a lot of news sites like that. When you want to comment on an article, up comes that FB login dialog.
In terms of growing risks, the more systems that are closely bound to FB, the bigger the disaster when something goes wrong.
Hello,
Original poster here, just wondered about something, if you don't mind. What browser do you use online? I use Firefox, with a few add-ons installed. One of them is called NoScript, and it disables all the automatic links you mention on websites. You can choose to enable individual scripts, either permanently or just for that visit. You would be amazed at the number of scripts running on various websites.
For example, I just opened another tab and visited a news story at NY Times to check. When I moved my mouse cursor over the NoScript icon up above, it listed 6 scripts (or links to other sites or domains) that were being blocked. These include nytimes.com, nyt.com, krcd.net, insightexpressai.net, googlesyndication.com, and typekit.com.
I have now enabled the nytimes.com in that tab, which allows the page itself to load more items, with their own scripts/links included. There are now 4 more scripts listed, including one for Facebook. The others are for scorecardresearch.com, chartbeat.com, and revsci.net.
If you don't use Firefox, I would recommend it, with NoScript and AdBlock as well. At the least, it will show how interlocked these sites are.
That's funny, I was thinking the exact same thing, what with the family of 5 elephants and their dog that moved in last month. Do your neighbors to heavy construction late at night too? Mine are also quite fond of turning on every faucet in their apartment at the same time and then banging on the pipes.
Surely science can do something for us?
I think the pharmaceutical sciences have done enough for you for a while.
Go to bed, and let us know if you are still seeing pink elephants in the morning.
(Posting as anonymous coward, since things posted that are even slightly critical of Assange somehow get rated "troll".)
Same here. I've posted almost a dozen items on this story, all AC. Although I have an opinion on the case, and on Assange himself, I don't feel like having my karma destroyed because someone on either side doesn't like how I think, or what questions I ask.
And to be honest, people on both side of this are being ignorant dicks.

I'd mod you and him up if I had mod points. Good work.

Wow. Where did you copy-n-paste that from? It makes you sound really intelligent.
Funnily enough, the "all you *insert minority* look the same to me" effect
For myself, insert "humans" in the space.

Isn't that how they did it in the Star Trek storyline?
Dammit. I guess I had a brain freeze. Please replace "acronym" with "anagram".
Very much so. I have never in my life been afraid of a foreign terrorist, but often afraid of those who control this nation.
This from a /.er whose name is an acronym of "hijack em", so is obviously a terrorist himself. :-P

Sure, I see Abby do that on NCIS all the time.
It works best if it's a reflection on a pair of sunglasses, though.
I don't act smug and superior when I tell people I don't have a Facebook page.
But I think I should start.
So far, with 24 comments, nothing has those two arguments. Some justify voting for Obama otherwise, but not this tactic of the campaign.
put it all on red for another spin.
No, the last two times they put it on black.

I hope not.
I hate bald pussy.

Also, some unicorns use a distinct five-beat gait, which is quite jarring. Or so I've read.
