Would you believed it if you heard it 10 years ago? Would you believe that we would have to work more every day just to get by? I always thought I would work less and the technology would work for me. Not me working more for technology. For notebooks, phones, cameras…
This is a fail for humanity.
So I was looking for “tiger attacks” on YouTube. I watched 20 videos and I did not see any tiger attack. I saw a lot of noise, a lot of pixelated video, a lot of talk and a lot of misnamed videos. But I did 20 page views and 20 video views. So I contributed to the success of YouTube, even if I left half an hour later, unsatisfied.
There is a lot of crappy content on YouTube. Just like Google. A lot of seo, a lot of stupid folk, a lot of noise. Little good or useful content. And then some people wonder why hulu.com makes 80 million dollars a year with little content, while YouTube has millions and billions of videos and views…
If so, buy our special…!
Damn, I hate the holidays! There’s nothing holy in them, just marketing and shopping. For Christmas, try to be kinder and better, so go shop! A book and a keychain will make everything better!
Not another social bookmark, social site, web2.0 bullshit. We really need faster and better technology. On my list:
That is what we need.
I have an account on LinkedIn. I find it useful into tracking my old colleagues and friends.
Two days ago I got one on facebook, because it said I cannot access a user profile if I didn’t have an account. I signed up and…I still couldn’t see the profile, because I need to be friends with that person. Usability fail. Anyway, some people found me and added me as a friend, so I got mails with their requests. I got pulled back in into facebook. And I stuck around for a couple minutes. Way too much noise. The wall, the side notes, the tracking of people. Way too lazy for everything.
I think the internet has become a busy intersection. You want to get stuff done, read some news, check your email, see some gadgets or naked ladies, but you cannot move because of all the noise. Facebook, Twitter, SecondLife, FriendFeed and others I don’t know about…Lot of noise. Not getting much done and not advancing in technology, all because of the noise. Latest dumb thing? Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show on my mobile. Because all I really wanted to do is watch those beautiful girls on a little screen.
