Re: Ping.fm: Updating Your Social Networks Without Spamming FriendFeed

Silencio Barnes — Sun, 26 Jul 2009 12:40:01 -0000

Funny that this subject is about a year old for you - I'm going through a situation right now where I got feeds feeding feeds, updates updating updates and duplicates abounding everywhere :)) There are just way too many ways of sharing info these days, all that convenience is turning into an inconvenience.

I found your blog researching if anyone else had these problems

On a side note, I gotta say...there must be something in the name - Mine's is Rasheen...and I have like...the same exact interests as you, it's weird. From the writing, to the music, to the damn poetry...even the make money online stuff - however, everything you do is much more mature (I'm still trying to get my blog together and come up with an identity etc) - anyway, just sharing :P

@all it seems the service is now in fact free - I read about it here and went to check it out just to see - and they said they listened, and the service is now free of charge - I used it, seems to work - downloaded the greasemonkey script - check it out - unfortunately, I'm at work and my monitor resolution is set and I can't change it, so I couldn't get to all of my links :'-(

How much did they pay? That was the first thing that popped in my head:) I wish I was in a position during the early days of the dotcom boom to just buy up a bunch of the obvious domain names:))

Re: Facebook + FriendFeed = Twitter Killer?

Silencio Barnes — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 17:10:01 -0000

Since FriendFeed aggregates a LOT of the twitter traffic, Facebook has a veritable gold mine of real time data to build strength around - No telling what the future holds for any company or wave of "next big thing" but if FB plays their cards right, they can def force twitter into a "join us or die" situation at some point.

And highly off topic...but you are GORGEOUS - I like your blog too, haven't been to the youtube channel yet - If it's true that only the cute survives, then you'll be around for a long, long time:P

Re: TWITTER ANALYSIS: 40% of Tweets Are Pointless Babble

Silencio Barnes — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 19:28:20 -0000

Hmmmm, that's true, the minute someone responds to a pointless tweet (even if that person doesn't respond on twitter, but rather, just ponders the tweet) then it automatically goes from being pointless, to meaningful...right?

On the issue, I lean neither this way or that...I'm more of a cynical watcher than an activist. However, and you can call me dense...but what is it in John Mackey's speech that has people banding together and boycotting?

Someone explain it to me. He seems to make very valid points *shrugs*

Yes! Just a little bit of give on behalf of Myspace:) I'm starting to think they're gonna be okay. Then again, they also should have implemented this a long time ago.

Re: How long will humanity survive?

Silencio Barnes — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 16:24:22 -0000

The questions raised here are really the sort of fodder that a lot of science fiction has been running on for years. It seems to be almost a given that our species will not last very long. We are too parasitical in nature for any sort of global or even cosmic ecology to bear our existence for too long. We consume, and all we can do to make sure that we survive is to find new and different ways to consume, and yes, this means heading off to other planets and moons and asteroids; wherever we can learn to survive. Where could that ever eventually lead?

I believe that if the world pooled it's resources, we could start that journey outward right now and not decades and decades from now. But you see? We just can't. People, as they are now, are fundamentally flawed. I believe that if we do or can last for the long haul, our only really goal will ever be either finding "GOD" or becoming "GOD" - I mean when you stretch it over hundreds of millennia, what else could a species really strive for?

I could go on, as these are the types of things I think about a lot. If there was a such thing as eternal life, I would want to have it just to see how all of this eventually turns out.

Thank you for giving something to rant about today :P

Re: Upcoming: We Are The Network wonders “Do you know the real me”

Silencio Barnes — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 20:52:06 -0000

I think that there are always several degrees of separation that prevent people from ever really knowing another person. You could live with a person for years and be as intimate as two people can be and find out one day...you never knew that person at all.

Online only adds many, many more layers in-between people ever really getting to know each other. On one hand, it would seem that online people are free to be *more* themselves than ever. I think to certain extent, that's true. People say more about themselves online, they express their opinions more openly. It's easier to do it behind the iron curtain of the 'tubes' than it would be face to face with another human being.

But that's the rub right there. If you can be *more* you when online...what are you being when offline? If I feel like I'm really getting to know this online persona...then I'm not really getting to know the real you at all.

Understand what I'm saying?

@Σχολή Χορού - of course it's not ethical or right, it just is what it is. Things like this come to light all the time. No one is going to do anything about it, the people that WANT to do something about it won't have the resources to get anything done. That's just business baby.

As for jail time...probably not :P

Re: First Thoughts: Seitokai no Ichizon

Silencio Barnes — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 02:11:27 -0000

You pick 6? That's a lot :)) The problem with most anime series (and I'm definitely not an authority) is that just like American animation (and probably more so) it is just churned out. There was a time when every new piece of anime that you saw was the next best thing. But to anybody that has been watching anime for a long period of time, it starts to lose it's exotic flavor and you start to notice the tropes. And in anime...there are a LOT of tropes.

I've not watched this particular anime (and probably never will) but I've seen the perverted high school kid and the other characters which I'm very sure (especially judging by your descriptions of them) are just as stereotypical as you've named them to be in the captions.

I like the inclusion of the H-games though. Does this anime ever cross the barrier into hentai? Or is it more light hearted and suggestive?
