Does The Frame Make It Art?
Definitely worth keeping an eye out for the Big Brother-ish and Minority Report-ish bits (presumably the predicting your future issues rather than the portal/dashboard-like view?).
The privacy aspects are certainly concerning, although as any sufficiently paranoid person will tell you, your private information is already quite public - if not overtly, then in barely hidden silos.
Still, yes, human oversight is needed, and it is tricky stuff, whether automated, done by a 3rd party, or managed by the individual/owner of their social/relationship information. Who is right? Who is wrong? If I say I went to Harvard on every social profile I can find, yet I didn't, does that tilt these systems towards pollution or purity?
Early days, although we're motoring along - and stumbling in the right direction, getting some things right and some thing wrong.
And the answer is, yes we're too connected. Except that the vast majority of the world isn't - so there is still hope! ;)
It is odd timing, this thread and yours. I just ran across a feed from Scoble on FriendFeed. The comments were quite interesting... Stay tuned for the next post on this...
Thanks so much for sharing.
i had a great time reading that post of yours.
Practically speaking, nowadays,
social media is a must specially for those who doesn't have any networks.
They are telling their habits, their obscene behaviours by twittering. Some of them are really disgusting and I found that everywhere on the internet, Twitter Whores are becoming a phenomenon. The need for self glorification has reached to another level.
It's like they're in some competition where they are challenging to out bid each other in terms of their virtual following community. I am fearful that they spend too much time on Twitter that they have no time to do decent stuffs.
Statistics have shown that employees on Facebook or Twitter have a 10-15% less productivity. Students on those platforms also perform 20% worse in schools. This trend is set to go. For me, I'll make sure my kids don't get brainwashed in the 'New Media'.
using social media network is now massive.
Thanks
anyway, nice post!
where can we ever find REAL true friends?
the world is a friendless place and all you should depend on is your self.
thanks for reading my comment.
For what it's worth, you are always welcome here.

I've always found this overkill. However, it is nice when the blog owner leave a reply to your published comment. even if it is just a simple, Nice that you dropped by hope to see you again.
Good manners cost nothing and I always go back to check on pages where I've left comments
