A new app is soon to appear where you can literally take someones photo in the street then then you can upload it and scan it against social networking pics, and thats what is going to happen in the immediate future, imagine the invasion of privacy in 10 years.That is all.
-
as long as it helps me scoring Im ok. hope this helps.

reminds me of a pm where Sev said he could write a book about why Facebook exists
needless to say I didn't ask for a book or any lessons in worldwide conspiracy theory

It helps to remember that no one gives a fuck about you.

Facebook needs to be destroyed tonight
fb days are numbered. Diaspora is a STRONG contender; it will basically make the "social network" paradigm go free.
Many companies are not too happy with facebook; zynga, apple, rapsody, google.. ... all waiting on the sideline for the "social network" platform to go "open source"..
this will be facebook's Linux...

Yeah, at some point there will be a mass migration away,I honestly think people will get sick of knowing too much about others, and the increased privacy threats of putting too much about yourself.

Most guys who take photos of you and then they upload them to facebook to try to make fun of you are very shy in real life. I had some guy from college who liked to do that, until I owned when he was writing some gay stuff in french ::), he literally stopped using facebook, it's been like 7 weeks since he write something in his "wall". He was using it almost everyday 8)

it would be funny to see a "100 billion dollar" company turning into dust like that.

One more reason why I don't have FB/Myspace/Friendster or whatever. Massive waste of time.

I didnt think FB could get any worse. Then people begin to 'check in'...oh brother ::)

Love it or hate it, I think facebook is here to stay. I can't see it's popularity dwindling all that much in the next 5-10 years.

True, but the thing that's great about facebook (for the general population at least), is it's ease of use. It looks quite clean cut aswell and it's not as cluttered and disorderly as myspace.

If you don't want your personal shit out there for the whole fucking world to see...
Hold on to your shorts here: DONT POST IT!
Morons.
Delete people. Close down your site. Are you idiots Myspace fans too? Twits?

I agree. It is a huge waste of time and if anyone thinks their pics / conversations are private, they are dead wrong.

Facebook is here to stay. It's beaten Google in page rankings, is stable and very popular with it's users.
There is no reason people are going to leave it for another site.

What do you mean by having the paradigm go free?
Forgive me, but my knowledge of electronic social networks is quite limited, yet I do find its viral-like growth very appealing.
What do you mean when you say open source? What about facebook (A free website, with the ability to organize with ease) makes it a "close source"?

Facebook pisses me off. I have an account there (yeah, I know - homo) but I don't have any pictures up there of myself and nothing annoys me more when people think it's okay to "tag" me in their pics without my permission. I just untag myself but it's still annoying. But at the same time there's something about it which appeals to human nature to be curious and find out what others are doing. That's probably why I haven't jacked it in completely.

...and here I always thought FaceBook was just a another front for a free dating site where people could browse the personal ads of other members and even engage them in conversations and face-to-face gatherings.
I mean, if not for that, why else would anyone want all their personal information aired on the internet for everyone to see? Everything you write, any and all pictures you post of yourself are forever property of facebook, why would you risk it?
Also, what's so intriguing about posting up your "status"? I mean, why would anyone give a flying fuck about your status unless it states something juicy that's worth gossiping about? If all your status consists of is you giving your buddy list a play-by-play as you go to do laundry and break a $5 bill to make quarters, I'm not quite sure it's worthy of people having to receive updates of that kind of bullshit.
I guess I'm a little too old for this kind of shit. I just pick up the phone when I want to talk with friends or go to a bar to meet and engage new people.
Sorry for the HOWARD-like rant my fellow homos..

The current generation is used to socializing this way, online and via their mobiles. And it's no different than posting anything in Getbig.
People posting their info is no biggie. Google is a much bigger source of info than Facebook ever could be.
And in regard to your question to Alex, majority of the end users don't care whether a site is open source or not. They just know what they like using.

See, what you've got to understand is that facebook makes the lives of very normal people seem all of a sudden glamorous and/or important. It validates their day to day life. It's very good at making ordinarily unconfident people confident, as it allows them to shape and mould the way they are portrayed by people via their profiles. Like kiwiol said, getbig is just as "bad" in a sense. This place is teeming with people who claim to be something they're not, just like facebook.

These are some over-the-top accusations..
Are you two telling me that GetBig isn't a generational think tank meant to revolutionize the way in which bodybuilding influences the world and future generations to come?
Mere blasphemy sprinkled with cum-coated abominations is what I just read here..

I was just drawing a parallel. I'm not comparing the content of the 2 sites, just saying it's people posting and interacting with a group of people online, which is the same as here.

Of course this is gonna happen. You just gotta keep in mind that whatever you put out on the internet potentially stays there forever and potentially can be accessed by anyone.

Open source software is software whose source code is published and made available to the public, enabling anyone to copy, modify and redistribute the source code without paying royalties or fees.

That's what makes facebook worth billions. It's the information that users around the world freely give away. Marketing companies would give anything to get their hands on all that information.

yeah, I'm betting 5 years from now, facebook is jut another myspace memory..
They'll have some newer, faster, better interface site that will make people wonder why they ever put up with facebook's obnoxious white eyesore screen and haphazard random "wallings"

Facebook and all the other social networks are just another arm for the CIA/FBI etc. It really isn't even a conspiracy anymore but common knowledge. "They" want most of our conversations in text data so if needed, they can use it against you in a court of law. Its absolutely fucking genius how the Hierarchy has orchestrated it. They even made it look like a 20+ year old Jewish boy came up with it. lol

The US military is developing software that will let it secretly manipulate social media sites by using fake online personas to influence internet conversations and spread pro-American propaganda.
A Californian corporation has been awarded a contract with United States Central Command (Centcom), which oversees US armed operations in the Middle East and Central Asia, to develop what is described as an "online persona management service" that will allow one US serviceman or woman to control up to 10 separate identities based all over the world.
The project has been likened by web experts to China's attempts to control and restrict free speech on the internet. Critics are likely to complain that it will allow the US military to create a false consensus in online conversations, crowd out unwelcome opinions and smother commentaries or reports that do not correspond with its own objectives.
The discovery that the US military is developing false online personalities – known to users of social media as "sock puppets" – could also encourage other governments, private companies and non-government organisations to do the same.
The Centcom contract stipulates that each fake online persona must have a convincing background, history and supporting details, and that up to 50 US-based controllers should be able to operate false identities from their workstations "without fear of being discovered by sophisticated adversaries".
Centcom spokesman Commander Bill Speaks said: "The technology supports classified blogging activities on foreign-language websites to enable Centcom to counter violent extremist and enemy propaganda outside the US."
He said none of the interventions would be in English, as it would be unlawful to "address US audiences" with such technology, and any English-language use of social media by Centcom was always clearly attributed. The languages in which the interventions are conducted include Arabic, Farsi, Urdu and Pashto.
Centcom said it was not targeting any US-based web sites, in English or any other language, and specifically said it was not targeting Facebook or Twitter.
Once developed, the software could allow US service personnel, working around the clock in one location, to respond to emerging online conversations with any number of co-ordinated messages, blogposts, chatroom posts and other interventions. Details of the contract suggest this location would be MacDill air force base near Tampa, Florida, home of US Special Operations Command.
Centcom's contract requires for each controller the provision of one "virtual private server" located in the United States and others appearing to be outside the US to give the impression the fake personas are real people located in different parts of the world.
It also calls for "traffic mixing", blending the persona controllers' internet usage with the usage of people outside Centcom in a manner that must offer "excellent cover and powerful deniability".
The multiple persona contract is thought to have been awarded as part of a programme called Operation Earnest Voice (OEV), which was first developed in Iraq as a psychological warfare weapon against the online presence of al-Qaida supporters and others ranged against coalition forces. Since then, OEV is reported to have expanded into a $200m programme and is thought to have been used against jihadists across Pakistan, Afghanistan and the Middle East.
OEV is seen by senior US commanders as a vital counter-terrorism and counter-radicalisation programme. In evidence to the US Senate's armed services committee last year, General David Petraeus, then commander of Centcom, described the operation as an effort to "counter extremist ideology and propaganda and to ensure that credible voices in the region are heard". He said the US military's objective was to be "first with the truth".
This month Petraeus's successor, General James Mattis, told the same committee that OEV "supports all activities associated with degrading the enemy narrative, including web engagement and web-based product distribution capabilities".
Centcom confirmed that the $2.76m contract was awarded to Ntrepid, a newly formed corporation registered in Los Angeles. It would not disclose whether the multiple persona project is already in operation or discuss any related contracts.
Nobody was available for comment at Ntrepid.
In his evidence to the Senate committee, Gen Mattis said: "OEV seeks to disrupt recruitment and training of suicide bombers; deny safe havens for our adversaries; and counter extremist ideology and propaganda." He added that Centcom was working with "our coalition partners" to develop new techniques and tactics the US could use "to counter the adversary in the cyber domain".
According to a report by the inspector general of the US defence department in Iraq, OEV was managed by the multinational forces rather than Centcom.
Asked whether any UK military personnel had been involved in OEV, Britain's Ministry of Defence said it could find "no evidence". The MoD refused to say whether it had been involved in the development of persona management programmes, saying: "We don't comment on cyber capability."
OEV was discussed last year at a gathering of electronic warfare specialists in Washington DC, where a senior Centcom officer told delegates that its purpose was to "communicate critical messages and to counter the propaganda of our adversaries".
Persona management by the US military would face legal challenges if it were turned against citizens of the US, where a number of people engaged in sock puppetry have faced prosecution.
Last year a New York lawyer who impersonated a scholar was sentenced to jail after being convicted of "criminal impersonation" and identity theft.
It is unclear whether a persona management programme would contravene UK law. Legal experts say it could fall foul of the Forgery and Counterfeiting Act 1981, which states that "a person is guilty of forgery if he makes a false instrument, with the intention that he or another shall use it to induce somebody to accept it as genuine, and by reason of so accepting it to do or not to do some act to his own or any other person's prejudice". However, this would apply only if a website or social network could be shown to have suffered "prejudice" as a result.

I was really hoping to be able to do something today. I have met a bunch of people here in town that are fans of the short lived science fiction series titled "Firefly". They are going to show every episode of that series at a member's house today. There were 13 episodes.
