Friday Fishwrap: Social Networking Wars
Friday Fishwrap: What we like on the web. This animation on Social Networking sites highlights what is fucking retarded silly about the whole Social Networking thang. It’s funny. Czechit:
Alterebo - the next step in (secret) social networking
We take the “social” out of social networking.
Why go through the trouble of creating a secret identity (so your boss won’t know), and then having to port it over from Friendster to Myspace and then to Facebook or whatever flavor of the month social media?
And what about the pain of informing your real friends of your new secret identity, and then the pain of getting your friends to port over as well?
Well, now your worries are over!
After filling out a short form we will create a new secret identity for you, complete with friends, friend comments, interests and more. We will even blog, comment and send out fake party and event notices to all your fake friends.
Be the life of the (virtual) party!

Flanj - I have seen the enemy, and s/he is we
Flanj is the flash point of Web 2.0, a crossroads of the social –social (“nice” groups on facebook, linkedin) and the antisocial-social (hate groups within the social groups. Flanj is the online meeting space where the user-generated flaming of yore ends and the blietzkrieg massing of vlog carpetbombing begins. Think of it as the ‘nuclear option’, where it’s not really an option, but a threat. Peace takes diligence and a fearful respect of the technology the future brings. Like Tony Stark says in Iron Man “Is it better to be feared or respected? I say, is it too much to ask for both?” nuff said.
