Ron.M -> Facebook "tracking" app (Sep. 17 2010 20:11:32)
Just saw on the news that Facebook have got a cool system that can locate your current whereabouts to GPS standards via your Mobile Phone and make it available to anyone in the world who wants to check it out. "So that friends can keep in contact..." the friendly Facebook guy said. Really handy if you're down the Nazi Spanking Club (viz ze naughty fraulines) and the wife wants to contact you to tell you to bring a pint of milk back on your way home from the pub. [:D][:D] I just love all this modern tekky stuff and social networking twitter crap.[:D] cheers, Ron

Heck...I don't even have an iPod or mp3 player...or even a wristwatch!..[:D] (Reckon I probably have more in common with Anders-of-the-Greenwoods than he knows! [:-]) cheers, Ron

I have all the gadgets, but my £1500 Omega watch keeps breaking and has been sitting in a drawer for 2 years. All watches break on me [:'(] Note: Facebook traffic from half a billion users values it at over $3 billion. Foro flamenco is valued at around $2,000 for 3,700 users so we are worth about 10 times more per user [8\|] p.s. we have our own Facebook group http://www.facebook.com/#!/group.php?gid=19066354312&ref=ts

Whats happening to our privacy? But I guess if you put yourself on a public website and offer your personal information, you're accepting this type of invasion of privacy.

I mean, if I want to write a letter to somebody, I write it and send it to them in an envelope by mail. I don't paste it onto a lamp post in the town square. [:-] I had a quick look at these social networking sites, but frankly I'm not really interested if someone I hardly know is in a "pensive" mood, or eating a ham sandwich or sitting on the toilet. Life's too effing short..[:D] cheers, Ron

My daughter posts the same kinda pictures. [:D] (In fact she bought a Digital Camera for that sole purpose) In my day, we were always a bit suspicious and wary about "big business". These days, big business poses as a friend to make life big fun for everyone free of charge and everyone seems to fall for it. Meanwhile, behind closed doors they are plotting to exploit all your personal data in every way possible from now until long in the future to make profit whether you like it or not. It makes me think of the Disney film of Pinocchio where he meets "Honest John" Foulfellow the fox and Gideon the cat, who take him off to the wonderful world of the funfair with free rides and sweets...."hi diddle de dee..."[:D] cheers, Ron

But I guess if you put yourself on a public website and offer your personal information, you're accepting this type of invasion of privacy. The sad thing is that you do not have the choise. In a matter of years it will probably be as standard as e-mail, so if you say i am out, then you are out of life - an outcast of some sort. Get in the shoes of someone who is 10-30years old. There is NO CHOISE. Another thing is that Orwell seems do have truely being prophetic. In 1984 people were amazed to find that Orwels' Screens were already in the life of people. But everyone would have said, "ok, at least they cannot see us -Orwell didn't get that quite right". Amazing as it seems, now you can be seen through your screen. Anyone can open my facebook profile and find my age my studies what i like to do and what i think hell-even what i am writing now! Kind of spooky actually
