&#8220;Facebook is literally filled with master baiters.&#8221; 
Between the possibly unintended &#8220;double-entendre&#8221; and the superb analysis of the evolving dichotomy on the Interwebs between social and functional mass participation, the above linked piece is my &#8216;pearl of the day&#8217;. Enjoy.

This is a very clear, cogent article on this subject written by someone much better qualified than I to speak on this subject, which is why I will now shut up about F&#8217;book.
Sleep tight, y&#8217;all&#8230;.

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Slut&#8221; is a culturally interesting word. How you use it and when you use it says as much, if not more, about oneself as it does about the described person.
Personally, I use it to describe people (men and women) who have little self-regard, need lots of attention to bolster their sense of self-worth, act without [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Following on from my abandonment of Facebook and the Legions of the Enslaved, as of March9, I came across this fine article in Gizmodo which gives a much more coherent description of the problem than I was able to manage at that time.
The narrative is purely a &#8216;technical&#8217; one and does not touch on the [...]]]></description>

A mere burp from her innards and swathes of humanity&#8217;s economic &#8220;juggernaut&#8221; are brought to a standstill. A significant proportion of European and trans-Atlantic air traffic has been grounded by small volcano and an odd weather pattern.
The volcano has been erupting for a month [...]]]></description>

&#8220;Figures don&#8217;t lie, but liars can figure&#8221;.
Over here, there is a nice expose of one of the classic statistical ruses, as it is abused by the climate change deniers. Go have a look &#8211; it will take you 2 minutes to read and comprehend it.

Here is what I wrote on my Wall before leaving.
I have had it with Facebook!
The messing about with privacy settings, the intrusive applications and now messing about with my profile so that my pictures and other stuff have gone missing.
This is a bad, insecure, greedy and pernicious application of Web technologies [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think it was a bad call by the campaign to go for a &#8216;.com&#8217; domain rather than a &#8216;.ie&#8217; one.
It doesn&#8217;t say much for our &#8216;Smart Economy&#8217; entrepreneurs that we can&#8217;t properly brand a nationally oriented and self-referential Internet campaign with the most appropriate name format.
But then as the man said when asked for [...]]]></description>

One that strikes me as true comes from Ghandi.
“First, they ignore you. Then, they laugh at you. Then, they fight you. Then, you win.”
The debate on the coming climate catastrophe seems to making steady progress through these phases.
In the 80’s, environmental groups could only get traction long [...]]]></description>
