- What are the negative and positive effects of internet socializing sites like MYspace and Facebook on people?

-Are there any solutions or ways that the negative effects (if any) could be eliminated?

If you would like to respond my email is heather_rouleau@hotmail.com

Thanks!!

Out of my vast, national, personal network, individual who responds the quickest and without exception is Ted Leonsis. Will have to think of way to put into words what this means to me.

Thank you Ted.

Two terms I can absolutely convey are empowering, and encouraging. Put those words in your pocket, carry them around with you, until you feel their weight, and then may know how I consider them. Surprisingly void from our society at large.

(long one; but well crafted, took all day)

Concur on Facebook e-mail. Surprisingly bad for such a widely used, household web enterprise; not to mention a/the premier social networking model.
Hmmmm….
Someone somewhere is dialing it in.
Big problem for them.
Look no further than present topic.

And, yes; why 5,000. Who and how and where was that decided.
Lots of arbitrary numbers out there; particularly with video upload and presentation
applications/services; 20 min. 10 min. 2 gigs, 500 Megs per week and 1 HD Vid.

All very exciting evidence we have entered a period in which technology has surpassed the business models as well as growing portion of the population.

Most in online enterprise community essentially in BETA for foreseeable future.

Sorry Vimeo; I’m not going to pay to upload videos to your service. I have a scalable virtual server
running on state-of-the-art cloud solution. And, 1
HD video per seven days? 52 videos year? Who, is your market?
have over 400 gigs of AVCHD 1080i media. And, place hyperlink to your site automatically
embedded video on my site? And I’m to pay you for this?

Possibly most importantly; what priority does Vimeo place on statement, “For Individual Use Only. Not For Commercial Purposes.” What lines are they attempting to define, at what/whose directive, and how do they intend to monitor and enforce this policy? Or, do they? resources needed for this. My head is about to explode just thinking about it. Bye-bye Vimeo

Copyrighted material screening on MySpace?

Yes, it is a major motion picture. I’m an actor; clip is of my performance. Was thumb-padding my way to perpetual exit when encountered amazingly absurd user disciplinary work flow I simply had to follow. Have not felt such disregard for authority since High School. They may have hired my principal.

And, upon renaming file, “totallymyvideo” and describing only as, “absolutely my video,” uploaded quickly where remains. Am keeping on thin thread MySpace because friend list and want to track with how handle copyright situation overall.
removed yet empowered enough to sink the ship.

OK, little snarky, but couldn’t be happier with the situation. Particularly timing of HD tech. Just as I acquire state-of-the-art HD camera and software and produce hundreds of gigs of media, the web announces it is fully HD ready. I could not have planned it this well.

As I write this “comment” I gain new and very clear perception of why I have been told, bottom-line directive of any model is to survive in the market. And, “The main idea is to live to fight another day.” Always thought a little lean; why set such low goals? Why bother going into business at all? Now know because most/the rest will not (survive) and eventually; there you are, the unchallenged leader/one of the few/sole survivor. I like this very much.

(Writing used in my process of conceptualization as much as serving any other capacity. Very effective.
And, worth noting shockingly powerful in event/memory recall.)

Heading to close; speaking of “Cloud Technology” picked up WSJ week or so ago. Cite as further evidence (90 percent? )of population largely unaware of what we see next six-months-two yearsbeyond; front page article about Cloud Tech. journalist seems to dismiss as industry buzz word of the day and essentially meaningless. definite sense the writer had little to no clear concept of what he was writing about. Was fluff; on the front page of WSJ. This being a horse racing week give myself 3 to 1 odds can write an arguably better/stronger piece; front page WSJ. (Oops. I think I have to do this now.)

Also, piece in [personal] parroting, “Ted’s Take,” post three days prior; i-Phone/Touch widget/application phenom./interest/usefulness/future-of. WSJ piece half meaningless color images-half text; spatially on the page.
“Ted’s Take,” post more informed, compelling, and interesting. Maybe WSJ should offer you syndication

Horse week; give 2 to 1 odds writer read post, later wrote article in four(being nice)hours before 3:00 pm deadline. Oh; snarky again.
Not only is population being outstripped by the tech.
At large; not doing the work to try and keep up. Which seems to me an exciting opportunity for those who are/are willing to do the work to succeed

Being one of the few/ones paying attention maybe _The_ advantage.

Will give “play button on every page” to another day :-0

See you on the surviving side, Jeff

Good luck to the Caps today, I’ll be at my computer watching (going to school in the UK, thus net feeds are my only source of Caps goodness).
