So I realized I havent posted shit and I should probably get on that … and then eventually start doing it on a regular basis.
At first this was supposed to be about news. Well I figured out I hate the news so Im just going to write about myself and my life and shit that I think about because honestly Im very vain and dont have much else to write about. Hope you enjoy.
SO on the list of topics today … Social networking. If youre even reading this it mean that some how we probably are connected on a social network that involves technology. Which I guess is fine but when is enough? I have a facebook and twitter accounts. I have a myspace that I never use anymore and there is even more competition emerging in this market.
The kicker for me is that someone somewhere is profiting from all of our networking. Lets be honest if they werent it wouldnt be offered for free. Someone is answering all those littles ads that pop up on the sides of the pages and it allows us to keep going on and doing what we do with no cost to us. Which in a way is totally awesome except when you consider that youre constantly being bombarded with ads and your information is being sold and EVEN in that contract that you accepted but didnt read you agreed to give up the rights to your pictures. Ok that might not be true anymore I really dont know. This is one of those prime examples where it’s just doesnt make sense. The collective of people using these site have the skills and the knowledge to make it ourselves and maintain and monitor it. Still we let capitalists who endeavor to pray off us run the show and take possession of things that really matter like our pictures and our addresses. If we could do it ourselves, do it better and without the huge price tag (and it is HUGE) then why dont we?
Ok so thats it for now. I guess this edition was not as cheeky as I would like but hopefully if someone is actually reading this it made you think.
