    Facebook

    an article from atimes about the facebook thingy - it is a hot topic again because of its IPO

    Asia Times Online :: Asian news and current affairs

    a quote from the article

    No one is likely to learn much about anyone else by reading their Facebook page, or, indeed, by becoming their Facebook "friend". A Facebook page is constructed to maximize our appeal and white out our warts. We learn as little from the pages of Facebook "friends" as prospective employers learn about job candidates from a resume.
    facebook is not something I will use as I think they do find out far more about you from their use of javascript in their like button that slather the internet pages - most people would never be aware of the insidious tracking of their web browsing that is fed back to facebook because they have a facebook account and do not whitelist javascripts per URL

    but beyond that , are peoples facebook pages just a storefront where they try and be the mostest individual , cooolest cucumber etc etc , and does not show very much about the reality ?

    will this be the reason that facebook dies - when people realise that everyone is faking ?
    If you torture data for enough time , you can get it to say what you want.

    Fakebook, I've deleted all my fairweather friends on there now and uncles and aunts I never see.
    I've deactivated the account a few times and don't go on it as nearly as much as I used to
    Drunken rants on Facebook are very very bad, unlike here where you can get away with it

    Facebook Users Sue the Network Over Invasion of Privacy



    Sunday, 20 May 2012 08:10



    'The suit consolidates 21 related cases filed in more than a dozen states in 2011 and early 2012 alleging that Facebook tracked internet use of its members even after they logged out of their accounts.

    Lawyers in the suit seek up to USD 10,000 for each Facebook user, or more than $15 billion.

    "The only way you are going to stop companies from disregarding the privacy rights of the American people is to take some of their money,” attorney Billy Murphy of Baltimore, Maryland, told AFP. “That's the only thing that gets their attention."'

    Agree on that.

    Facebooks IPO flop. FB now almost in bear market territory. At Disgracebooks current share price, it is worth more then McDonalds.

    I have an account I rarely check and never update- I don't have many FB 'friends' (and of the ones I do have, one is a cat- I will say for a feline he's a surprisingly prolific poster, though).

    or your average bogan showing off grandmas cash collection

    A WOMAN has been robbed after her daughter posted pictures of a large amount of cash on Facebook. The 17-year-old girl was helping her grandmother count her personal savings in their Sydney home at 4pm (AEST) on Thursday when she took a photo of the cash and posted it on her Facebook page.

    At 11.30pm on same day two men armed with a knife and wooden club allegedly broke into the Southern Highlands house of the girl's mother demanding to talk to the girl about the money.

    The woman told the intruders the girl no longer lived at the house but they searched it and took a small amount of cash and personal items.

    No one was injured during the incident.

    Police are warning social media users to be careful about what they post.

    The lead underwriter (MS) might be getting sued for failing to disclose certain last minute items to smaller investors

    for example, a broker in HK lost its license for failing to disclose certain risk before a local IPO, after investors complained to the regulators when the price crashed over certain revelations

    The SEC is also "investigating" certain claims about the Facebook IPO but the truth is that MS did nothing wrong, it has always been like that

    Do you have a FagBook account ?

    I liked what MS did. They over-valued the stock but there is nothing wrong or illegal with that. Fleece the retards . It doesn't take much of an investor to realize that the fucking thing was waay over-hyped and valued. It isn't worth anywhere near what a company like Mcdonalds is.

    That would mean the cat and I would lose touch, and I don't think I could bear that.

    You'd be amazed how many people put details in their "Out of Office" autoreplies. "I am out of the country for a week, please rob my fucking house".

    Mind you, burglars scan the classifieds for weddings and funeral notices as well, don't they, because they know the chances are the houses are empty.

    Cyberbullying is only a real problem if you link your real life to your online presence.
    I thought this quote was worth posting with its relevance to peoples use of facebook

    There was myspace before facebook. It will surely fade away for another mroe interesting site. There will always be something as there's a new generation of kids that it appeals to. The older folks will eventually get bored with it.

    too late to complain now

    FACEBOOK and other social networking sites are all about putting names to faces, but half of Australians do not want them to use facial recognition technology to get the job done. A national Newspoll of more than 1200 people found 95 per cent of those surveyed believed it was acceptable for airport officials to use facial recognition software to identify passengers on police watchlists.
    Some 92 per cent said police should be able to use the same technology to identify people from CCTV footage or videos shot by the public.
    But only 38 per cent trusted Facebook with the technology, and 50 per cent said it would be unacceptable for that site to use facial recognition technology to make it easier to tag users in photos posted online.
    The survey was commissioned by Unisys, a company that sells facial recognition technology and counts Australian border security authorities and some state police forces among its customers.
