The truth about Facebook revealed

That clicks on their site are not real

An unhealthy joke

Of mirrors and smoke

These click-farms help Facebook to steal

The Limerick King

Good stuff as usual William.  I wonder if social media will boomerang on society, and, through its insidious erosion of privacy, lead us to abandon relationships we have with groups of people - tribal, cultural, community even.

A flurry of great images WB7, thank you.

The all American barbecue in the suburban backyard, right after leaving Mom and Pop's farm, and working for GM and AT&T.

A decent wage, affordable healthcare, the end of the golden age; how little they realized it - how many thought it was the beginning instead of the end.

Pretty sure that's my Ex. Wife sitting in the chair with the doll waiting to be corrupted; or a close facsimile thereof.

The rare occassion I have logged into FB, if I felt compelled to share anything, it's always the most trivial or nonsensical thing I can think of.

One should always consider the audience.

Was in HK recently, was suprised to see that local convenience stores were selling Zynga, FB, and an array of other social/game related credit things. It was truly a split-second WTF moment. Then I realised walking around, every single person had their head buried in their phone. Restaurants, cafes, bars, everywhere. It was day of the living, breathing, walking dead. The only people I could communicate with were over 40 years old.

I prefer to see them playing games on the bus rather than yelling in Cantonese.

Cantonese, and Mandarin for that matter can get quite high in decibels. I also find that I have to watch out for people carrying long pipes, timber and other kitchen or household installation materials making sharp turns on the narrow sidewalks. Totally Facespoooked! You take care, 'man zou' WB7

I know what is going on now and I am reconfiguring.

Despite the obvious shortcomings of Flickr, it is a useful tool for me. According to them, I am running at 1 million hits every 24-36 hours. The vast majority of the traffic is specied as of unknown origin, which means mobile devices. Referrals from other IP addresses are about 500+ referring sites daily.

I know how I am posting the images (ZH, twitter, Keiser, linking on other sites etc)  so I see the rough traffic patterns associated with the different methods.

There is no click monkey padding my numbers.

I am going to keep doing what I have been doing but I am setting up my own platform.

The way I have been operating has been a default low maintence configuration. But I have to rachet up now and it can be done seamlessly across all device platforms.

hmm i wonder if CBS and Dan Rather ever made a (monetary) request to the government in order to stop reporting on the vietnam war? i do know first hand that military photographers sold footage to the MSM. (and like Snowden the firewalls had been breeched) by then the war was the lead off news stories so doubtful they even needed documentary footage. FB can make themselves into something of a martyr, or they can quietly sell out. because the USG could destroy FB if they wanted to, and they could destroy MS, but those two are very comfortable partners, while FB provides nothing essential that USG needs.

FacePlant.  That's a fucked up place.  People find you and tell you about things that you don't really care about.  Then a family feud starts.  Great.

So in all the love for Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg, and her grrrl empowerment shtick - has anyone asked her, since she is Chief OPERATING Officer, about Facebook's smarmy NSA involvement?

Like the one with Steve Case and Face Smuck!  I was working for Time Warner at the time of the AOL/Time Warner merger.  They had thousands of employees show up in a basketball arena; we were addressed by Steve Case, Jerry Levin and Ted Turner.  Stevie boy got carried away at one point and gushed that the stock would easily go to $250!  I just rolled my eyes upwards....The rest is history...

"Your kids don’t want to get health insurance. They also don’t want to get nagged. Let’s find out which one they want less. Help us get your kids insured by nagging them about health insurance where they least expect it."

"Select a tutorial and learn how to be where your kids are.
And how to nag them mercilessly. If this all seems too confusing, >>>give us
your kid’s email address and we’ll do the nagging."<<<

Yes, its real.

Just when I thought they had hit rock bottom(HHS Doge meme), now this. Stalk your kids and harass them into signing up for Obamacare. Hopefully the kids are smart enough to know identity theft is a bad thing.

The stink of desperation is quite pungent now.

Nothing says desperation quite like, the nanny-state, inviting parents to cyber-stalk their "adult kids". And if the parents aren't up to it, why, the nanny-state will be happy to do it for them.

Enlisting multi-millionaire's to propagandize on its "affordability" is a pretty close second though I have to admit...lol.
