    Asking you questions you don't want to have to answer about content no one cares about.

    Isn't this the entire premise of NonSociety?

    @Swifter: I think this is the premise of ordering at Subway.

    Neither Facebook nor Twitter can be of any relevance to me because my work blocked them from the server.I need to just live without...

    For every new media company that allows uploaded photos, there's an unlucky SOB or two that gets to go through the ones that people flagged.

    That facebook has these isn't really a story -- 100 is a lot, but after all, they get 2-3 billion photos uploaded a month.

    A better story would be to find one of these people and do an interview. It's really not that hard. Their jobs are not, in my experience, any kind of secret.

    Is this related to that Beacon class action suit email that I just deleted?

    It's ubiquitous in the industry. God knows, every time some n00b gets in my face at Wordpress.com I scan their blog, looking for Terms of Service violations I can report. What can I say, it's cheaper than having a life.

    @raincoaster:

    Look raincoaster, when you have a good blog, you announce it. You don't keep it to yourself for years. You've got seafood, Bon Jovi, cartoons, shampoo, Trudeaus. Double Yew Tee Eff.

    Oh wait... you're goooooood...

    You know, a man of his age really can't pull off the t-shirts and shorts thing anymore. No one wants to see those moobs, and that bare knee reminds me of Larry David's revulsion at men in shorts on aero-planes. Christ, all the money in the world and some people can't make themselves decent-looking as a courtesy to others' delicate eyeballs. Game over brah, put on some pants and some self-respect.

    I have mixed feelings about this one. Sex offenders = bad. But having to tell the govt about your online profiles seems, well, like not even a shred of privacy.

    What about just adding a badge to their profiles, "registered sex offender" like bloggers have to do with their sponsorships now?

    I never got on board with Facebook or any of the other ones but I can say it's officially over when my mother, who can barely use the computer, is on there now with a bunch of friends. I just found this out this morning when I got one of those automatic e-mail friend requests from her account. Yawn. If I need you to know something I've got e-mail, text and phone, otherwise, I'll keep my privacy thanks. I do like Twitter, although I just use it to follow people/groups.

    Guess Zuck wants to outsource "girls of FB exposed" to the entire world...

    But seriously, why is he so obssesed with trying to be twitter? specially considering FB is closer to what a real business should be.

    Considering you can join a network and block users from viewing your profile, I don't understand why Facebook is doing away with the option due to "privacy" concerns. I think you're on to something, Ryan.
