I saw this comment…:

Right now it’s one more possibly useful option that just isn’t important enough to remember.

I think this is a very insightfull comment. It signals the growing problem I face as well. What is still important enough to follow? How can you sieve important sites/trends amongst the enormous amount on offer? It also means that any site hoping to attract a large number of visitors is facing a increasingly steep climb… It is very hard to get noticed no matter what you do.

Of course, the number of people on the internet is also growing, but I think they tend to go for the ‘well known’ sites…

This is saddening…

In February, a 22-year-old bludgeoned his mother to death for “nagging” him about playing Internet games, police said. He then played games online for hours, paying with his mother’s credit card, a police statement said.

I mean, it is bad enough that people spend so much time online, but even more sad is that the mother apparently is not able to control her own son… it is strange that you would let it come to that… :-(

Unless you lived in an exceptionally dark cave in the last two weeks, you probably weren’t able to escape the Susan Boyle phenomenon. According to some metrics, over 100 million people have watched the immaculately edited video of the ‘frumpy’ 47-year-old’s performance on Britain’s Got Talent (BGT) by now.

This remains the big problem of the Internets… how to make money online? Along the same lines is this new Firefox-plugin:

This plugin ‘rerenders’ the page to disable all items except the main-content. This could be seen as brilliant… and there are a lot of sites where I would like to skip all the trash. But how do content owners get any kind of money then? It is all very nice to talk about expanding your network, or creating exposure for your business, or getting people to pay for special content of any kind. But the fact remains that it is getting increasingly difficult to make any kind of money online…

I’m still kinda missing the point of this ‘Twitter-thing’, but anyway, I love to mock it :-)

Facebook got severely burned on this one…

Link

As posted here before, Facebook tried to change it Terms of Service. Seems that the users took issue with this one… The uproar actually caused Facebook to revert. Way to go, power to the people :-)

I dislike ‘community’ sites. I don’t like the mindless ‘communication’ on most sites. I don’t see the use of it. (I’m on linked-in, since that is strictly professional…) I dislike also the idea that all those companies take all your data in return for.. well.. nothing, really. Bandwith, I guess…

Seems Facebook takes it one step further, and claims ownership off all uploaded content – indefinitely. Sjees….

Facebook engineer Doug Beaver posted a note on his profile yesterday that FACEBOOK NOW HOSTS MORE THAN 10 BILLION PHOTOS. He wrote that users upload between 2 and 3 terabytes of photos every day, that Facebook hosts more than a petabyte of photos and that more than 15 billion photos are viewed every day!

Somehow, while I can see that they maybe real, I find it hard to believe those numbers…
