OK μ$™ will probably buy out Yahoo - I am not fond of Yahoo looks a lot like Hotmail, anyway. However (I need a blog) let me get on my soapbox. The death of Social Networking. Let's see: 1) theses sites will be crowded out by self-promoters or company shills (innocent ones, simonhector, or not.) 2) The Seti problem: there are just too many indolent people to find the ones worth communicating with {UFOs may be real, but how on Earth would they ever find this dinky place in all the vastness.} 3) People here have an axe to grind or have way too much time - they're either superpeople or not productive enuf (or they have not the high IQ, but the high SocialQuotient.

I really need to learn how to write out my thoughts more clearly. Perhaps I'll post the Marketplace item later tonight - that and a recent friend request prompted this diatribe.

Have a nice day!

Oddly enuf, the article doesn't exactly appear when I type moblog into the wikipedia section of the search engine portion of the address toolbar.
Anyone know how I can afford the new gizmo and the service charge?

commentart is more interesting:
I'm not sure which Web [Ben Casnocha] was talking about, but it hardly resembles the idyllic wonderland of mutual respect he describes. David Brin's Transparent Society describes the utopia of mutual transparency, and it doesn't exist anywhere on the Web or real life. Social networking sites hardly have the privacy controls he describes, and transparency is all-or-nothing. Try to keep your friends lists private -- you can't. By design, they're public to everyone else who is also on the list. So my friends, my schoolmates, my co-workers, my siblings, and my virtual friends all can see each other. There's a big difference between privacy and appropriate segregation by one's social persona of son, father, brother, boss, employee, friend, date, or ex-boyfriend. I don't want to mix them, or even share them within those groups -- it's inappropriate, but I don't have a choice. His paraphrase of Mutual Assured Destruction, while cute, completely neglects the fact that we wasted trillions of dollars and decades of years fighting the Cold War. Do we need to now prepare for the "cold shoulder" war, where the resources of individuals and groups are wasted on each other in a race to paranoia and fear? If one is controlling one's privacy by degree and kind, as we do it presently in the real world, then you are not living in a transparent society; you're living in current society. Those of us who are fully clothed are looking at the naked you and wondering, "Just what exactly is it that you think you're showing off?"
