Coming out ain’t easy (via International YN forum)
A dying breed.
“All my mommy’s imaginary friends are on something called ‘Facebook’.”
Now, that’s more LIKE it. :-P
Lol. Conflicts of interest on a friend’s Facebook feed :-P
I’m appalled that the free service that I am in no way obligated to use keeps making changes that mildly inconvenience me.
Decribe me in one word
I’m right where I’m supposed to be…
Anatomy of a Facebook status
- Nikita: "Insert inspiring/clever/funny quote here." - Attribute it to random famous person everyone loves.
- Dan: Say witty comment, even though I have no idea who said famous person is.
- Nikita: insert witty reply, in reference to person you quoted
- Kunzang: <insert random comment about boobies>
- Nikita: laugh at how awesomely funny we are
- Tallulah: Join in the laughs just to be included
Facebook To Twitter: Back Off, We Own People's Interests
Be careful what you “like”.
Whoever knows what your interests are right now and can package them up for advertisers has the chance to make a lot of money. Of course, Google does this right now every time you declare your interests in a search box and it offers up matching ads on the side of results. But Facebook and Twitter are trying to capitalize on the shift from search to sharing. Your interests are expressed by what you follow and react to (“like,” “retweet,” etc.), not only what you explicitly seek out through search.
With the Facebook Community Pages, when you “like” an interest you start getting updates from that page inserted into your stream, making it a more dynamic relationship. The same thing could happen once Facebook’s like buttons appear on other Websites. It is very easy to click a “like” button, but if that automatically subscribes you to a particular feed, it could also become a social marketing opportunity.
