Just what I expected.
smugness is unbecoming on you, Brisco.
You're the biggest goof I've ever known.
A note about social networks and Facebook's imminent death: Google+ is pretty much yesterday's news. Apparently they got a big bump when they opened up registrations but now it is firmly back in nobody cares mode. Google will probably kill it next year. So much for that.
This accidental public post from a google employee sums up pretty well from a programming standpoint why it was bound to fail from the start.
Plus it's worth noting that Facebook responded to Google+ by adding a bunch of features, changing a bunch of stuff, and neutralizing all of Google+'s supposed advantages. It wasn't like Microsoft, who took 3 years to respond to the iPhone.
Facebook seems to be way more competent and agile than the tech pundits and Slashdot crowd would have you think. What a shock - those guys are never wrong, right?
I'm not an evangelist for Facebook by any means, but I am willing to respect their ability to adapt and their innate ability to create new features that their users want based on their viewing / surfing habits. I personally think the way Facebook runs roughshod over their userbase's privacy is pretty scuzzy. But they're also pretty upfront about it... so it's hard to really complain when you're voluntarily putting up with it. Facebook does what we want it to do and does it well. It has very good usability, usefulness and desirability. So it's built well.
I'm sure that someday something will come along to usurp it.
That was an interesting read, even if I had to look up half of the terms and abbreviations.
Such a great PSN slam.Quote:
But I'll argue that Accessibility is actually more important than Security because dialing Accessibility to zero means you have no product at all, whereas dialing Security to zero can still get you a reasonably successful product such as the Playstation Network.
