You realize that the penny arcade comic was fiction, right? Very few people post inane "look what I'm doing right now" stuff on Twitter anymore, and the ones who do get a pretty quick unfollow.

Twitter is where my friends post their "hey, let's go to X" or "here's a link to my vacation gallery". Same as any other blogging service, except without the wall-of-text.

The only person I know who posts the usually-inane "look what I'm eating right now" stuff is a professional chef... and therefore they aren't inane but actually interesting foodstuffs.

Why cant people use an instant messanger, preferably a free one?

Which by definition of how the protocol works is ridiculously insecure (however, google has done a pretty decent job of helping make it more secure).

I'm at work so I can't check if it exists but I know that MOST of those types of domains ARE registered and some of them actually provide the expected service.

I think that Facebook is a good idea for people wanting to stay in touch with friends. For example, a lot of people move away when life changing events occur such as their graduation, a job change, or they got married. It's difficult to keep in touch with your friends when that happens, especially if you live in a big country. If your friend basically moves to the other side of the continent, it doesn't matter whether or not you are good friends, you would still have trouble keeping in contact with them because of how busy the both of you are, how high your phone bills could be, and how long it takes the mail to go through. Plus, you couldn't share pictures or other technology related stuff as quickly and easily as you could if you were all on Facebook.

What I want is some system that will allow me to communicate with a subset of people in a manner similar to twitter or facebook...

So, if I'm talking about all the cool HTML5 programming I've been doing the post won't go to my co-worker or my wife and her friends.

for all the girls you never got around to chatting up in highschool, facebook provides round 2

completely useless for anything more than logging in, glancing around, then leaving

I wonder when Facebook is gonna go public....

Its an open-source social network implementation with some other notable improvements, for example you can host your own information instead of sending them to some company's servers.

i dont get the baah, facebook has hide for uninteresting people you happen to know.

It is very good for organising meets and stuff like that. And chatting up chicks. And cyberstalking. All valid reasons to use.

I prefer tumblr for blogging/shit cause there i can follow just the interesting people and not get bogged down in a mire of uninteresting people i happen to know.

diaspora hasn't let me in on the thing yet
still waiting for a pass

ROFL

Thx for dispora. I really hope it goes the way of Firefox with millions of addons. Like one where you can rate anything, then find ppl with same ratings and extrapolate your own undiscovered interests based on their ratings. Like listal.com or everyonesacritick.com. Except for some reason it doesn't work too well. Its still better than "liked" numbers cause of all the spambots on FB. See FFiver's offers of 5000 likes for 5$.

If applied to more objective things like websites and their features it could prevent stupid products from rising to the top cause of marketing.

Imho capitalism would be alot better without marketing. What exactly do marketers produce for society? Luckily i have amazon and google shopping.

Well, marketing can be used positively to get resources out there to be seen. When done correctly and morally, marketing introduces people to products they desire.
