Well, for some reason I as usual would have to be Einstein to explain, I can't put any more pix on here. Being one who apparently can't see the forest for the trees anyway, I should confess I no longer do much Farcebooking.I can't stand the shallowness of it, to be honest. But knock yourselves out. I have just decided that humans are far more complex creatures than that. Of course the advertisers on there want you to be as stupid as possible.
I realize that at heart, we want all to do what the next person is doing. For a while, it was blogging. Now it's Farcebooking. Who knows what it will be several months from now?
That's what all the marketing weenies are trying to figure out now. Where we go, the advertisers follow. And where the advertisers are, that's where companies want to be, delirious with the thought of our money.
The Force be with you.
you are correct, the advertisers keep looking for the next route to "reach" you - it's corporaate strategy to do so WW and has been going on for a long time.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great picture of that tree!
ReplyDeleteI think that people, deep down, all just want to connect with one another. And there are so many ways to do that. It's why cavemen left art on the walls and why we build great monuments. We just want to say something, make a connection, find our place in the world. It's why we find paintings and books and architecture so interesting. And in our time, the mediums we use to connect includes online forums and social networking.
Long after some of these corporations are wiped out, there will be some record of what we said on the internet. The meaning may be lost to future generations--but something will remain, to signify that we had something we wanted to say, and that we made connections to each other (and maybe future generations), and it was important enough that we needed to say it and share it.
Gerry: See below. But what gives them or the Farcebook types the right? Nothing!
ReplyDeleteErosWings: That makes a lot of sense. Maybe I'm naive that they should just be able to do that in peace, away from the advertisers.
They're like mosquitoes or flies to sh#t.
They just won't leave you alone. It's like trying to enjoy the coolness of the night outside, and having the bugs be so bad you have to go inside.
On Facebook we aren't the customer, we are the product. I just shut mine down for a while...too boring and frustrating because you can't say things the way that we used to on our blog.
ReplyDeleteOkay I'm too boring and I am boring myself to tears.
Ottto: Are you sure you don't want to quadruple that t? I shut down my Farcebook too. I will only respond to things, that's all.
ReplyDeleteErosWings: That's why the PHONE was invented! Or any other means of human communication besides the computer and Farcebook!
ReplyDeleteI never got into the facebook thing, so I totally understand your disinterest in it.
ReplyDeleteAnna: They might as well caa it Anusbook.
ReplyDeleteI mean call, not caa, of course.
