MySpace, Is Officially DEAD.
Everyone either moved on to FB or TWITTER.
I remember when everyone first got one.
When I was in 8th grade (05-06)
I never got when at the time.
But all my friends were talking about it.
NOW (09-10)
It officially died.
But MySpace is full of BS.
IMPOSTERS, Smh.
But Idk, why regular people have TWITTER.
It doesn’t make sense to me at all.
I could see if your a musician or something else.
Somewhat important.
But ooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh weeeeeeelllllll.
yoono
Yoono is free software that allows you to connect and share with all your social networks and instant messaging services in one place.
Yoono develops products designed to simplify social life on the web by centralizing all social networks and instant messaging in.
Yoono – Useful Multi-task Tool – Yoono is an Internet plug-in that creates a sidebar on your browser (but you can decide if you want it visible or not). You can pick from 10 social networks that you update or follow the most. After putting in your settings, Yoono shows all updates on the social networks you chose to view and any RSS feeds you follow. Yoono is great because you don’t need all those tabs open and you can update several profiles at the same time.
I installed Yoono as a Firefox add-on initially but its taking up lots of memory and causing Firefox to crash. Obviously it could make Firefox crash because I connected Yoono with Facebook, Myspace, Flickr, Twitter, GTalk, YM and imeem. I downloaded the desktop app instead so it would take up its own memory separate from my browser. It is so convenient! I agree with all the reviews they got! If only they support Plurk, Tumblr and WordPress, they will be the coolest app I’ve ever downloaded for free!. Thats it! five stars for Yoono!
The new all-singing, all-dancing WF website. We're already talking about the next one.
When we started Wilkins Farago back in 1998, the web really wasn’t that big a deal. Most publishing businesses had some kind of web presence (mostly because we’d been hyped into it) but sites were mostly online catalogues or glorified business cards.
No-one really knew how to drive traffic to their sites, and e-commerce was expensive to do. And who was buying online anyway? (Amazon.com had only listed the previous year and Australians at least had yet to trust their credit cards to online shopping carts in a big way.)
Over four and a half years later, we’ve finally got a proper website, launched this week.
For years we did without a website altogether, mostly because we weren’t publishing much. Then, in March 2005, I ‘borrowed’ a simple design from a site I’d designed for a client, switched around the colours, put our logo on it, whacked in some content and lo, we were online. That’ll do for now, I thought, intending to put something more permanent together soon thereafter.
Over four and a half years later, we’ve finally got a proper website, launched this week.
It wasn’t until we started using Google Analytics in July 2006 that we started to understand how people were finding our site and how they were using it. It made us realise we need to organise it better, allow people to search it and provide some way of letting people buy our books if they wanted to.
The old site grew as we published more books, getting increasingly unwieldy and, as larger computer screens became more common, looking ever smaller in its 600 x 400 pixels.
So, for the geeks (or more likely the wannabe geeks like us, as the geeks already know all this), here are some of the features—both great and small—of the new site:
We’ve tried to keep costs down as much as possible, using free or nearly free features wherever possible.
This all sounds like a lot now that I’ve listed it all. Most of it’s been put together by Anna, our GM, based on designs by Combined Media, and Andrew Wrathall, who crunched the search and RSS code for us.
The total cost? Well, we’ve tried to keep costs down as much as possible, using free or nearly free features wherever possible. At a guess, I’d say the whole project cost about $1500—that is, if we don’t cost in our own time.
If we did cost in our time, then we probably wouldn’t already be talking about the next version of the site! To wit, feel free to let us know what you think and what else you’d like to see.

It's true.
Your ex could have your MySpace profile viewed 44 times last week.
Her manager could look at your profile, on a daily basis.
They had some weird cyber talker, you do not know.
Unfortunately, you never know, because MySpace does not allow you to see who viewed your page. That was until a little side appeared some time ago under the name Profilesnoop.com.
Profilesnoop.com 's motto is: "Snoop on them while they snoop on you." How manyof us have not secretly viewed the pages of our exes, enemies, old high-school crushes, employees, etc.? We all do it.
Profilesnoop.com provided you with a code to input into your MySpace profile. This code would be that all attendees signed viewed your site, literally snapping a photo of them if you capture on your profilesnoop.com account, we had collected all this information carefully and ready for you to view.
I was on the lucky people who really, before it usedShut down by Myspace. For about a week, I had this wonderful little tool on my profile. It was just a piece of code in the "Who I'd like to" section, are not visible to everyone, but even entered.
It captures all of the photos displayed on my profile, along with the date, time and IP address. I would be automatically re-directed to mypsace profile of a person by clicking on the photo. Some were my friends, others were a big surprise. I found out that I was always regular viewing of theLast Guy I dated on-again/off-again and his girlfriend. Who knows?
Of course, it was too good to last. Only five days after I had registered with the site, the forums talk about the sums of code from their profiles, including all text and photos in their "Who I like to meet to" number. Apparently, the code in violation of the privacy policy, myspace.
The next day it was gone from my profile as well. I was sad to see it go. But it brings me to thisQuestion: Is it correct to Myspace, I know from the block in a position to know who visited my profile?
I'm sure it will not take long to succeed profilesnoop.com a way to back up and running or all the other plagiarism can occur-run websites. And if they do, I'll be there … willing to sign up.
Of course, if we manage to see a way to find exactly who does our MySpace profiles, so that others know that we're theirs. Would this damper our MySpace experiencemakes us think twice before "cyber-stalking" someone? Maybe. But then again, maybe not.

Can’t the HC take cognizance suo moto and punish the guilty?
Courts seem to be passing the buck by observations, which is of no use.
Story:
New Delhi: In a strong indictment to the Delhi government, the High Court on Friday said that Manu Sharma, who is serving life sentence for the murder of model Jessica Lall, got parole because he was “influential”.
The government had told the court earlier that if a prisoner had appealed against his sentence then he is not eligible for parole. However, this rule was not followed in Sharma’s case.
Justice Kailash Gambhir said that in normal cases the government takes three to six months to decide a parole application of a convict but in case of Sharma it disposed off his plea within 20 days.
“The list (regarding number of parole applications) depicts a dismal picture showing the government is giving least priority to parole applications of convicts. No doubt the Home Department has given selective treatment to some convicts because of their high connections,” Gambhir said.
Meanwhile, the state government submitted a draft for new guidelines for parole before the Delhi High Court.
In its affidavit, the government has stated that 372 people asked for parole till November 18 this year. Out of these 72 were granted parole. 202 paroles pleas have been rejected till now and 98 paroles are still pending.
Fourteen jail convicts jumped parole in 2009 and are still absconding.
Sharma voluntarily returned to a jail in New Delhi on November 10 after a controversy over the Delhi government’s decision to grant him parole for two months.
Serving life imprisonment for murder of Lall in 1999, Sharma was granted parole on the ground that his mother was ill and he had to attend to family business matters.
His parole was extended on October 22 for 30 more days on Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit’s recommendation to Lieutenant Governor Tejendra Khanna.
On parole, Sharma went partying in two New Delhi hotels–Ashok and Samrat. The Dikshit-led Congress government came under severe criticism for releasing Sharma on parole when news of his partying broke.
Sharma is the son of a Congress politician from Haryana.

Are we blogging or are we creating our own social history? When we learned about history it was from our grandparents or in history books, the library was the number one place to find all this information and for the more recent generations, Google was a great way to find some broad ideas on a topic. Our grandchildren will know it all. Every single detail because we have been writing it for them. Historians who have come and gone and done extensive research to get even big details are rolling over in their graves.
Our generation is allowing years of people to come to see what our interests are, our dreams, our pictures, and our individual taste in music. We are engraving ourselves in the World Wide Web. Twitter allows us to let a huge audience know what we are accomplishing that day, while Facebook allows us to keep in touch with people we may not have even met. Our day to day interactions are being permanently recorded and formatted in easily organizable segments of information.
Historians in the future will have every detail, no need to leave anything up for question or giving them reason to guess. Every single detail has the opportunity and in most cases is actually recorded in full detail. Most of our friends know who we are with and what we did last night.
Reality T.V. has become a real hit the past few years and why not, we all love to know what is going on in everyone else’s lives. We want to know because of a mere interest but even to use it to compare our own lives. It is so easy to interact with people now while they are doing things. I can join a friend at a baseball game via Facebook or wish my cousin overseas a happy birthday via Skype.
Twitter, Facebook and MySpace are giving us the opportunity to make friends with people we may necessarily not have the opportunity to. We are also to keep in touch with our friends from college who moved two continents away. We are able to learn about each other’s cultures and each other’s actions. This gives us such a great opportunity to relate and understand one another. History is starting to have a whole new meaning!

MySpace annonce clairement sa défaite face à Facebook en se recentrant sur un réseau social uniquement dédié à la musique et au divertissement. MySpace choisit une stratégie de niche comme porte de sortie sur un marché dominé par le géant Facebook.
Un succès éphémère pour MySpace.
MySpace a été fondé en 2003, et a connu un énorme succès aux États-Unis où le fait d’avoir une page MySpace était une forme de norme. En effet, le mimétisme normatif jouait fortement, les individus se créant une page MySpace pour éviter la sanction collective ou le rejet. MySpace a donc réussi à gravir la fameuse courbe en S de diffusion technologique que l’on peut voir sur le graphique suivant.
Mais il faut également mettre en parallèle de cette courbe, le cycle de vie du produit. En effet, une fois l’innovation technologique fortement diffusée dans une population, l’innovation peut subir une phase de déclin. L’arrivée de cette phase est très variable selon les secteurs et les marchés. Comme on le voit ici, cette phase arrive très rapidement pour MySpace, puisqu’il aura fallu 5 ans à MySpace pour diffuser largement son produit et tomber dans la phase de déclin.
Facebook prend les devants.
L’un des facteurs accélérateur de ce phénomène est l’arrivée d’une nouvelle plateforme concurrente sur le marché ; On pense bien sur ici à L’imminente entrée de Facebook en 2004
Le graphique suivant montre la situation des deux réseaux sociaux sur le cycle de vie du produit.
Facebook, ayant atteint récemment les 300 millions d’utilisateurs inscrits, a eu une croissance exponentielle et se situe en haut du cycle de vie, probablement sur la phase de la fin de croissance. Quant à MySpace, il voit son nombre de visiteurs décroitre, et est largement situé dans la phase de déclin. C’est pourquoi MySpace se repli sur un marché de niche. C’est bien ce qu’annonce Owen Van Natta le nouveau directeur exécutif de MySpace : “Facebook n’est pas notre objectif. Nous sommes concentrés sur un autre secteur” ( http://bit.ly/1OcjPo.)
Le graphique suivant montre bien l’évolution exponentielle du nombre de visiteurs uniques sur Facebook, et la stagnation puis la décroissance chez MySpace. A partir de 2007, MySpace se situe sur le pic de la courbe en S, le service est diffusé dans la population cible, et les consommateurs commencent à migrer vers le nouveau géant entrainant l’entrée de MySpace dans sa phase de déclin.
Pourquoi Facebook pique la vedette à MySpace ?
Facebook est un marché composé de trois faces (multi-sided market), avec de multiples effets de réseaux (l’utilité d’un agent consommant un bien réseau augmente, avec le nombre d’agents consommant ce même bien ou service réseau) directs (interne à une face) et indirects (entre deux faces).
Le schéma suivant montre donc les trois faces présentes sur Facebook :
La plate forme présente donc des effets de réseaux directs, en effet, plus le nombre d’utilisateurs augmente, plus l’utilité d’un agent est grande. Plus, il y a d’utilisateurs, plus il y a d’interactions possibles sur le réseau et plus il y a de chances de trouver des connaissances. Il y a également des effets de réseaux indirects sur Facebook, et ce sont ces externalités qui ont permis à Facebook de détrôner MySpace.
La face « développeur » et la face « utilisateur » s’attirent mutuellement créant une forme de rétroaction positive. En effet, plus il y a d’utilisateurs, plus les développeurs sont attirés sur la plateforme pour développer de nouvelles applications, et plus il y a d’applications, plus la plateforme devient attractive pour de nouveaux utilisateurs.
La face « annonceur » est attirée par la face « utilisateur », plus ils sont nombreux plus les annonceurs ont intérêt à diffuser leurs messages.
Un des points fort de Facebook, est de réussir à attirer de nombreux développeurs et donc de permettre une hétérogénéité des services à l’intérieur de la plateforme. N’importe quel utilisateur peut trouver une application plaisante.
C’est vraiment les externalités de réseaux croisées entre les utilisateurs et les développeurs qui ont permis le succès mondial de Facebook, et qui ont fortement aidé au déclin de MySpace. En effet, il y a beaucoup moins d’applications sur MySpace.
La nouvelle stratégie de MySpace.
C’est en observant la croissance exponentielle de Facebook, et son déclin que MySpace a décidé de « rendre les armes » et de se focaliser sur une stratégie de niche, le sortant d’une concurrence frontale avec Facebook. « Selon la compagnie, MySpace a vu sa part glisser de 66 à 30 % en moins d’un an. Il y avait donc urgence à stopper cette hémorragie. »
Il est clair que MySpace reste aux yeux du consommateur un lieu d’écoute et de découverte. Cette stratégie de focalisation sur un lieu de divertissement et de musique semble donc être une stratégie en adéquation avec l’image de la plateforme.
Pour assurer sa domination sur cette niche, MySpace a créé un partenariat avec I Tunes permettant à l’utilisateur d’acheter la musique qu’il est en train d’écouter sans quitter la plateforme. De plus, de nombreuses nouvelles fonctionnalités ont été mises en place par MySpace. Il y a donc une réelle volonté de devenir le premier réseau d’écoute et de découverte de musiques online.

I had the opportunity to attend a morning session class yesterday at our local chamber office on social media for your business. Since I’m personally addicted to Facebook (yes I admit it) I thought I might be wasting my time. But I’m so glad I attended the class taught by Stephanie Wells, Executive Director of Anderson County Tourism Council. She explained the first step in good marketing is a great website. After the website is posted then it is time to join the world in social media. Not only is it a great place to showcase your business, most of the items I’m talking about today are free.
FACEBOOK: Facebook popularity is growing daily. There are over 300 million people on Facebook with the fastest demographic being age 35 and older. Sixty-Five million users access Facebook on their mobile device and are twice as active as a regular user. What can Facebook do for your business? First of all, it can give you one-on-one communication with consumers. You can create a free fan/group page to gain exposure, measure demographics, create surveys and tests, offer rewards and increase sales. Social networks can also generate more people to your website.
TWITTER: Twitter is another fast-growing social network your business should be taking advantage of. It is a free way to stay connected to customers/potential customers where you can get feedback, give advice on new products, etc. You can even incorporate your Twitter feeds into your website.
MYSPACE: Be sure and create a free page on MySpace to reach as many people as possible. Remember to link the page back to your website. Although MySpace has many users, it has a younger audience which may fit your businesses needs.
Businesses should also consider purchasing advertisement with the above social networks. Although there is a fee involved, it really isn’t that expensive to get your word out. Be on the cutting edge of digital marketing while reaching the audience according to your needs. The great thing about social networks is their database of users’ demographics so you can advertise to a huge audience or you can narrow it down to your smallest targeted audience. It is easy to post an advertisement. Just follow the simple steps on each site for more information.
WORDPRESS: Create a free blog for your customers weekly. This blog could be about new products or you could feature a product of the week or just give your customer tips or advice. Connect this blog to all other avenues such as Facebook and your Website to get the most exposure and save time.
YOUTUBE: Every business should have a free YouTube page. You can list your videos that are ten minutes in time or less. This would be a great place to showcase your commercials and commercials from your vendors about the products you sell. You can also link these videos into your social networks and webpage.
RSS FEED: Now you are asking how will you manage all these accounts? Set up all your accounts where you can view them on one page using RSS feeds. There are several sights to choose from, but I recommend using widgets which are applications on NetVibes.
You are probably past information overload by now, but I just touched the tip of the iceberg. Do you have more recommendations about placing your business on social network or any success stories? I would love to hear your story or opinion!
Il y a quelques semaines, j’étais agglutiné dans mon lit à regarder la télévision de façon larvaire. Je passais en revue toutes les chaînes, un zapping psychotique face au néant cataclysmique menant à un ennui anxiogène. Vous trouvez que cette phrase est remplie de mots qui font genre et qu’elle ne sert à rien, c’est normal car fait de manière totalement consciente. Lors de ce passage rythmique d’un canal à l’autre à l’aide de ma télécommande, quelques images retiennent mon attention quelques secondes sur un clip des années 80 diffusé sur la chaîne Virgin 17 dans le cadre d’une émission rétro-nostalgique repassant tous les tubes top 50 de mon enfance. Après un Desirless et son Voyage, Voyage et un A toutes les filles qu’on a aimé avant de Barbelivien & Félix Gray, sonne l’heure de Tristan avec Bonne bonne humeur ce matin. En le revoyant, je me souviens que Vincent Cassel y fait une de ses premières apparitions en tant que chœurs/danseurs dans le clip donc impossible de passer à coté, je veux revoir ça.
Premier constat incroyablement triste, Tristan a un look à la mode d’aujourd’hui et ça c’est terrifiant quand on pense que les années 80 sont l’abomination, l’infamie du fashion, du beau et de l’esthétique (cf. la coupe de cheveux de Desirless ou le maquillage de Jeanne Mass). Tristan se lève de bonne humeur ce matin, et décide d’aller faire du vélo, un synopsis haletant et excitant. Sauf qu’il est pas un mec comme les autres, comme il est de bonne bonne humeur ce matin, il prend une plateforme de déménagement pour descendre de son appart, chose tout a fait normal un dimanche à Paris. En bas dans la rue, ses potes choristes chantent au milieu du bitume avec un T-Shirt blanc Batman so chic.
Le clip aurait pu être oublié de tous mais le temps a fait qu’il est un have-to-be-seen car Vincent Cassel, César du meilleur acteur en 2008, est devenu célèbre mais aussi parce que même si ce n’est pas écrit dessus, la réalisation est signée Mathieu Kassovitz, sa première oeuvre télé-diffusée.
Pour la petite histoire, Tristan était à la fin des années 70 le leader d’un des plus gros groupes de punk parisiens de l’histoire : Guilty Razors. (Même époque que Metal Urbain ou Asphalt Jungle). Tristam Nada, de son vrai nom, s’est forgé un nom dans les nuits branchées parisiennes dans les années 80 car grand ami de Eric Cantona, Mickey Rourke et toutes la scène alternative parisienne. Il restait dans le buzz car il était aussi “artiste urbain“, comprendre ici graffeur de rue, appartenant au collectif “les musulmans fumants ‘“, adepte de la libre figuration. Tristam est encore aujourd’hui un artiste actif qui continue la composition musicale via son Myspace mais aussi la peinture dans des salles d’exposition parisiennes.
C’est peut être une chanson débile mais je suis attendri quand je l’entends. Un hymne positif sympathique qui sent bon le Marc Toaesca et les années Mitterand.
Useful.

Completely different types of cancer affect different areas of the womb, or uterus.
The best known, perhaps as a result of a nationwide screening programme, is cervical cancer, which affects the cervix, or neck, of the womb.
Many women, thanks to early detection, find they have abnormal cell changes in their wombs which cannot be classed as fully cancerous.
These “pre-cancerous changes” are far easier to treat, and the number of women presenting with the symptoms of cervical cancer has fallen over recent years.
However, more common is uterine cancer, in its more usual form also called endometrial cancer – which affects the lining of the womb that grows, is shed, and regrows as part of a woman’s monthly cycle.
Professor Hilary Thomas, from the Royal Surrey County Hospital in Guildford, said that the key to successfully treating both cervical and uterine cancer was early detection.
Anybody who is sexually active should be having regular smears,
Professor Hilary Thomas, Royal Surrey County Hospital
She said: “Anybody who is sexually active should be having regular smears, and if they have a history of abnormal smears, they may need to go for more frequent smears.
“Cancer of the uterus, or the womb, is actually cancer of the body of the womb, which has a different kind of tissue in it from the neck of the womb.
“This is a disease which tends to affect elderly patients who have passed the menopause.
“Usually they will be advised to have a hysterectomy.”
Another, far less common cancer of the womb is uterine sarcoma, which affects the powerful muscles of the womb.
This is far more similar to other cancers which affect muscles than to either uterine or cervical cancer.
SYMPTOMS
Many cervical cancers are detected by the national screening programme.
Samples of cells from different areas around the womb neck are taken and looked at under a microscope for signs of abnormality.
If a smear is abnormal, the woman may be asked to take a repeat smear, or, particularly if there has been more than one abnormal smear, be sent to a specialist for further checks.
Once cancer is established however, the most common symptom is abnormal (ie non-menstrual) bleeding. This is a sign that the cancer has spread to surrounding tissue.
Menstrual bleeding may be heavier and last longer.
Abnormal bleeding, particularly after the menopause, can also be a sign of uterine cancer.
Women with certain symptoms should always consult a doctor. They are:
any sort of unusual vaginal discharge
pain in the pelvic area
painful or difficult urination
Once there is a suspicion of problems, there are various techniques used by doctors to try and locate the cause.
The first is a pelvic examination, which can be carried out by a family doctor, who will check the vagina, womb, ovaries, bladder and rectum for unusual lumps or changes.
Doctors may carry out another smear test, or Pap test, to gather cells to check for cervical cancer.
A technique called colposcopy, which uses a probe to look in more detail at the cervix, is sometimes used.
The extent of any cancer discovered may be confirmed by taking a deeper slice of tissue in a biopsy.
However, if uterine cancer is suspected, either a “pipelle biopsy”, in which a thin tube is used to take a small sample of tissue, or a dilation and curettage (D and C) may be undertaken. The latter, involves scraping tissue from the lining of the womb for examination.
CAUSES
Scientists have identified a virus which they believe may have some role in the development of cervical cancer.
The human papillomavirus (HPV), is found in most women who have developed cervical cancer.
However, most women who have the virus never go on to develop cervical cancer.
Smoking, as in so many other cancers, appears to increase the risk.
And women with HIV, the virus which causes Aids and weakens the immune system appear to be more prone.
The risk factors for uterine cancer are slightly more clearly understood.
In particular, those taking oestrogen-only hormone replacement therapies to alleviate menopausal symptoms are at higher risk. Most HRT formulations include other hormones such as progestin which appear to reduce that risk.
Overweight or obese women are thought to have more natural oestrogen in their bodies – another reason why they are more vulnerable.
Women who suffer from a condition known as benign endometrial hyperplasia, in which the lining of the womb is naturally thicker, also are more likely to develop endometrial cancer.
TREATMENTS
If caught at their earliest pre-cancerous stage, abnormal cervical cells can be dealt with simply, using either freezing or heat to scour the cells from the cervix.
The action of the deep biopsy, called a cone biopsy, can remove a cervical cancer if it has not spread.
Depending on the spread of the disease, and the age of the woman, a number of options are available, including surgery to remove abnormal tissue or the entire womb, including the cervix.
If there is evidence of spread, then the ovaries and nearby lymph nodes are sometimes removed as well.
If the cancer has spread beyond the wall of the womb, then radiotherapy and chemotherapy may be required to try to clear the disease.
In the case of uterine cancer, it is far more likely that a hysterectomy will have to be carried out, and the ovaries may also be taken out.
If it has not spread beyond the endometrium, then surgery will probably be enough, although other treatments may follow if there is evidence of spread.
It may be possible for the woman to take HRT following the operation, although this is only likely if the cancer has been caught early.

I decided to write this one because one of my friends is dealing with a guy who apparently she is feeling and they are trying to work on getting thing together. I kind of understood both sides but I was just wondering if it was too soon.
The situation:
My friend reunites with this guy she knew from way back when. To kind of sum things up they end up wanting to be together which is all fine and dandy. But I see a lot of red flags on both sides, but if she’s happy then I’m cool.
Apparently, the guy got his heart broken so he has trust issues. She says when anyone calls her, he wonders who it is. If it’s one of us, he says she talks to us too much. Mind you we barely hear from her when he’s around. Only, one of us has met him. Not me (Red Flag), because I think she knows I’d be on my P’s and Q’s to make sure she was being treated right.
But at any rate, they were talking about them furthering their relationship and getting on the path of being together and the internet came up. He called her an “Internet Whore”. He said if he’s going to “wife a chic, he doesn’t want her on the internet”. He also went on to say how she had a lot of males on her facebook and she didn’t need her co-worker as friends either.
As she’s telling me this, I’m like what the hell? I mean I understand how sometimes the internet and some site can get you in trouble. But I think it depends on the person and the level of trust. I have been in a committed relationship and still had a facebook and myspace page. Plus, he had a facebook page and wasn’t offering to delete his.
For what I was hearing he was asking her to do all of this and only after that would he decide to continuing trying to further their relationship and deciding whether she was in fact “Wifey Material”. That just didn’t sit well with me. She asked my advice and I told her “If you’re going to delete all your pages do it because you want to… not because he wants you to and how do you know it won’t be something else down the line?” I didn’t want to sound like I was hating, I have just seen her sacrifice so much for a man and the man is unwilling to do the same for her.
My question: What would you do if someone you we talking to and trying to building something with asked you to erase your internet ties and they will then decided whether you are the one for them? Have you ever asked someone to cut their internet ties? If yes, then please explain why?
**It’s not that I have a problem with it…but every situation is different. **
I wanted to tell you all about this jerk that messaged me on MySpace yesterday and today. He’s a 32-year-old guy from Westminster. I’ve never met him, have no idea who he is, and honestly I really don’t know what led him to my page. But the message he sent me said this:
“Wow, I cant wait to see you working one of the corners in Curtis Bay.”
I told the guy that he didn’t know me and that he had no right to assume that I would ever be working a corner in Curtis Bay. Then I told him to leave me alone. And this is the response I received:
“LOL, I just figure with that typical “myspace style” picture and because of where you live that you will one day be working the corner in Curtis Bay. Sorry if I offended you. If, however, you will be performing these acts how much will you charge? Im sure it will be a good price to pay.”
My jaw dropped at this. This man, who has no access to my profile other than my picture, my age and location, assumed from those three things that I would end up as a prostitute in Curtis Bay. How ridiculous is that? And here’s the picture that made him decide this:
I don’t think that this picture makes me look like a prostitute. And I don’t think that living in Brooklyn Park makes you any more likely to becoming a prostitute than living anywhere else. How can someone learn anything about someone from a location and a picture? My picture certainly doesn’t show that I work a full-time job. And I bet it doesn’t show that I’m going back to school next semester to continue working towards my degree in teaching. But I forgot that some people out there are vain, shallow people who don’t know how to not judge other people by there demented values.
Now, I had three choices on how to handle this message. I could take the high road and tell him that he had no right to talk to me that way. I could flip out, cuss him out, and threaten his life if he spoke to me that way again. Or I could have just deleted the message and ignored it. Those of you that know me know that there is absolutely no way I would delete the message and ignore it. I’ve always been a strong-willed person, and I would never let someone disrespect me and then get the satisfaction of thinking that they can get away with it. So this was my response, which I think was a nice balance of the two options that were left:
“Fuck you asshole. I have a full-time job and go to college. Don’t judge me because of my picture and where I live. Again, you know nothing about me. I don’t know how your prostitute search ended up on me, but you need to look elsewhere. I don’t fuck creepy thirty-two year old men for money, especially ones that stalk teenage girls on the internet. Now leave me the alone motherfucker.”
Well, that’s about as balanced as your going to get out of me when I’m angry. So much for taking the high road lol.
A thought popped into my head about web use. Recently I’ve randomly heard/read quite a few interviews which have dealt with the idea of parallel universes. And my proposal is this:
Could it be possible, that by branching off all over the web, each of us as individuals are creating are own parallel web universes? If I create seperate identities for Twitter, wordpress, gmail, aol, yahoo, myspace, facebook, etc, etc…Am I not in effect allowing for these seperate identities to thrive and flourish on their own accord?
Depending on the name I choose, picture I present, and general identity I create, this character will interact with other characters in a very unique way; not unlike the physical me in another universe, if the theory is in fact true.
So are we not previewing, maybe the inevitable reality we each face as human beings, through these web services? Possibly as a way to ease into the notion of actual parallel universes..
This could also mean that having Multiple Personality Disorder actually may stop being a disorder and just being the norm. in society. It may be more beneficial to your own life if you can show off how the original you has branched off into a variety of creative ways. This could even be a way of courting someone. “Oh you JUST have a facebook account..that’s kind of boring”.
In the near future we might each expect/require that we each carry around a variety of personalities at one time. Or socially required…but I may be stretching here.
It could have very well all started with the PC game “The Sims” back in the 90s. The dynamic is different now, as our “trusted” politicians tweet, our favorite celeberties have facebook accounts, and if these characters are only existing in cyberspace, there’s no definite way to ascertain if they are really human.
We also see this “Comment” culture that lives totally anonymously online. Again you can adopt a new identity for each site you comment on. Forcing yourself to wonder “Who is the real me? And maybe we truly are entering an age of mind expansion where the limited physical self, with a singular ego will no longer feed the machine of evolutionary thought?”

If you like the list and want the download (I don’t sell these) then you should send me a note.
There’s a SPECTACULAR jazz song at the end that I want you to go to giantstep.net and buy…it is so well done and emotive I thought for those of you who LOVE music you’ll dig on this one.

Story:
Among the few cultural traditions shared by human populations across time and geography is the abiding urge to make and consume alcoholic beverages. Alcohol was also one of the first medicines as well as a component of many early religious practices. But modern humans’ choices are limited to a few alcoholic staples — beer, wine, and “hard” liquor. Many of the beverages enjoyed by cultures past have been lost to the historical record.
Patrick McGovern, a University of Pennsylvania researcher who describes himself as a biomolecular archeologist, and Sam Calagione, founder and president of Delaware-based Dogfish Head Brewery, aim to rescue some of these forgotten brews using a mixture of science and craftsmanship
The story of their collaboration began, McGovern said at a recent lecture at the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Anthropology and Archaeology, with the discovery of a burial mound — called a tumulus — marking the eternal resting place of one of history’s most famous kings. “Right upstairs, the debris from the Midas tumulus was waiting for me in small paper bags,” he said. Fifty years ago University of Pennsylvania archaeologists had excavated the tumulus, located in eastern Turkey, and stored debris from vessels upstairs at the Philadelphia museum.
“[I was interested in analyzing] the intense yellowish residue in a sort of reverse engineering to try and resurrect old ingredients,” McGovern explained. Using mass spectrometry and liquid chromatography, he determined that the ancient residue was a mixture of barley, honey and grapes. Since the subject of ancient beverages is dear to his heart and his palate, he explained, the next step was obvious — “Why not try to recreate some of these ancient beverages?” For help, he turned to Calagione, who used equal proportions of the ingredients with saffron as the bittering agent to brew Midas Touch, which approximates the drink that likely flowed at celebrations or funerals during the time of the ancient king. McGovern suggested the use of saffron because hops would not have been used in Midas’ time, and he thought the spice might account for the intense yellow in the residue. Midas Touch is an ale beautiful to behold and with a complex set of flavors; King Midas would have found it more than acceptable.
This first success merely whetted McGovern’s thirst for reconstructing ancient fermented beverages. “The story of early mankind is humans figuring out how to chew all kinds of carbohydrates: stems, grains, roots, fruit, [looking for] what’s fermentable, and that’s led to a whole slew of beverages around the world,” he noted. Specifically, it led McGovern to chicha — a corn beer that’s been consumed in South America for centuries — which Calagione has also recreated at Dogfish Head. Chicha is brewed with corn that’s first been chewed, human saliva acting as a fermenting agent in the brewing process. (The brewing process destroys harmful bacteria.)
McGovern and Calagione have also recreated a 3,200-year-old cacao-based ale called Theobroma, the recipe for which McGovern unearthed in Honduras. It does not taste chocolatey; rather it has an earthy flavor, a good fall brew that would pair nicely with stews or soups.

I have thought about what to write for this post for a few days now. After lots of thought and careful attention to how to mince words together, I have finally formalized these few principles about the importance of business and social networking.
We all know that building a good network of friends, colleagues, clients, etc. is important in any field, but I am not sure many people know how to effectively network. With emerging social networking websites such as Facebook and business networking sites like Linkedin, networking is becoming increasingly popular among business professionals as well as anyone from young adults to grandparents.
However, I believe these websites are just one part of the equation of effective networking. Getting out and meeting people the old fashioned way is important as well. Here is what you should do before getting out and meeting people at networking events, social gatherings, and in public spaces:
A cada dia que passa ocorrem mudanças no nosso cotidiano. Vemos a introdução de novas tecnologias fazer parte de nosso dia-a-dia e ocuparem tanto nosso tempo livre como nossos afazeres. Mas mesmo com tantas mudanças, ainda existe um grupo de pessoas que prefere ser avesso a essas novas tecnologias. Até aí tudo bem, mas o problema é quando essas pessoas tentam defender seu ponto de vista e mostrar nosso “erro”, por sua concepção.
Nós sempre atribuíamos isso às pessoas mais velhas, como pessoas da 3ª idade. Mas percebi que muitas pessoas jovens deixam de aproveitar os benefícios da tecnologia para viver suas vidas de um modo mais complicado.
Vamos aos fatos. Eu sempre tive na escola a fama de nerd e viciado em Internet e novas tecnologias. Mas a verdade não era essa. Claro que soa estranho eu falar de mim mesmo, pois todos acharão que eu estou me defendendo. Mas a realidade é que eu nunca fui viciado assim como eles falavam. O que acontecia é que eles tinham uma vida mais afastada dessas coisas e me chamavam assim por eu gostar dessa área do conhecimento. Esse é um dos sinais do analfabetismo digital. As pessoas desconhecem os inúmeros benefícios das tecnologias e por isso taxam os outros com expressões pejorativas. Mas já me acostumei com isso.
Um segundo exemplo ocorreu há poucos dias atrás: eu estava na aula quando um dos meus colegas me pediu uma ajuda. Eu prontamente me disponibilizei. Ele então disse que queria que eu lhe ensinasse como ‘roubar senhas’ de uma determinada rede social. Eu estranhei o porquê dele ter perguntado isso logo para mim. Aí ele explicou: “Eu te perguntei porque sempre que eu entro na Internet você está on-line. Pô, você tem a maior cara de hacker… hahaha”.
Imaginem como fiquei alegre com essa reposta (sem comentários). Aí vocês podem pensar: bem, ele estava correto porque se sempre que ele entra você está on-line, significa que você é mesmo viciado. Sim, você tem razão de pensar isso. Mas a realidade é que os horários em que ele usa batem com os meus. Além disso, meu uso comum de Internet é entre 1h às 2h por dia. Isso descontando os dias que não uso. Isso significa que a afirmação que ele fez estava errada. Como um viciado pode passar tão pouco tempo conectado?
Vemos aí o 2º sinal do analfabetismo digital. As pessoas, por terem pouco conhecimento dessas tecnologias, acham que você é um louco por conta de características inconclusivas.
Mas é claro que tenho culpa nesse assunto… Posso ser considerado um geek ¹, mas no estágio mais inicial possível. Gosto muito de novas tecnologias, interatividade e informação, mas moderadamente. Uso regularmente a Internet, participo de inúmeras redes sociais, tenho acesso à Internet móvel, ouço música digital…Ou seja, características de um geek. Mas ainda assim não concordo com o termo viciado, pois o viciado usa Internet por muito mais tempo, vive o dia inteiro conectado, seja por computador, celular, videogame ou qualquer outro gadget ², além de passar o tempo praticamente inteiro com coisas voltadas para a tecnologia…
Enfim, precisamos rever alguns conceitos e aproveitar melhor a vida. Porque não aproveitamos nosso tempo livre para fazer um supletivo digital? Algumas doses de Twitter, Facebook, MySpace e alguns blogs, por exemplo, podem ser de grande valia para você que fica vidrado na vida real e esquece que os meios digitais são uma fonte de conhecimento e uma forma de lazer.
¹ Geek é uma expressão idiomática da língua inglesa, uma “gíria” que define pessoas peculiares ou excêntricas obcecadas com tecnologia, eletrônica, jogos eletrônicos ou de tabuleiro etc.
²Gadget (do Inglês: geringonça, dispositivo) é uma gíria tecnológica recente que se refere, genericamente, a um equipamento que tem um propósito e uma função específica, prática e útil no cotidiano.
There are quite a few reasons that having a big family in Mafia Wars is an advantage. Especially if you want to move up quickly, you need to have a lot of people backing you up. With a big enough mafia, you’ll be much less vulnerable to attack, and you’ll be able to win any fights you choose to enter. You’ll also be able to protect your hotels and casinos from vandalism and robbery so that the cash can keep flowing from them uninterrupted.
Getting to that point though means that you’ll likely have to go outside your normal circle of friends in search of Mafia Wars allies. There are several ways to do this, and the quicker you get started, the quicker you’ll be able to get to the top in the game.
Ask Everyone You Know
Although you’ll eventually have to look elsewhere for allies to fill out your mafia’s ranks fully, the best place to start building your family is from your friend list. The game offers you the option of inviting some or all of your friends with an automated message. This is certainly convenient, but it likely won’t get you the best possible response.
A better approach is to send a private message to each of your friends individually. You can use the same message for all of them, but most people are more likely to respond to a personal message than they are to an automated summons. Also, if you write the message yourself, you can make it clear to your friends that they don’t actually have to play the game to help you. If they just agree to join your mafia, their work will be done. Make sure you invite everyone you know though. You’ll often be surprised by who the most enthusiastic players turn out to be.
Forums
Once you’ve exhausted your friend list options, it’s time to move on to Mafia Wars forums. Here you’ll find other players who are as serious and excited about this game as you are. You’ll see that some of these players post recruitment messages inviting others to join their mafias.
You don’t want to post one of these messages yourself, however. Instead, invite all of the players who’ve posted recruitment messages to join your mafia. These are the most serious players and will likely prove to be your most valued allies. Just be sure to send them a private message and mention Mafia Wars in it. Many people won’t pay attention to a message from someone they don’t know unless they know it’s for the game.
With these two tactics, you’ll be able to build up your mafia quickly and relatively effortlessly. You just have to be careful not to add too many people you don’t know at once. Not all of the profiles you come across in the forums will be real, and you won’t know which ones aren’t if you add too many at once. A reasonable amount of caution is always recommended, but for the most part, you shouldn’t have any trouble putting together a large and powerful mafia with players from forums.
