TruXter Tech News

Mashable blog request you leave Facebook.

Really? Everyone is shunning Facebook and bashing it? You are throwing a tantrum because the owners of Facebook are making this “Social Network” a tad bit closer to actually being social? You people are getting really pathetic. The same in crowd hipster doofuses that like to bring things up and break it down because you already used it so now it’s not cool …. douchebags.

Sorry to say it but you are being unreal. I hate facebook because their functionality is complete utter garbage. I am not throwing a tantrum about how they are making their social site actually become social. In fact I have forever hated the fact that people call it a social network yet you can’t meet someone. They have to know you before they can add you. There is nothing social about that.

So My only conclusion is that you people are being complete total hipster wannabes with huge antisocial-subconscious wanting to further recluse and separate yourself from the world even further. You clearly are not the early adapter first gen of the tech world who of course jumped on Facebook the moment it opened to the public. Those people are gone or have learned to accept it for what it was and just opened their profile to the public manually.

You are the same group that made a huge move for Myspace to lock the children separate from the adults. But said nothing when the games on Myspace came out and the kids wanted more game buddies so they opened their profiles and started adding all of the dirty old farts in greasy neck shirts, just because they want one more person in their mafia farming their vampires or what ever. Luckily Myspace consumed it’s ownself by releasing those games and making the adults get sick and leave the place. Now the only thing there is the kids who play the games and the trash hunting them.

If you shut up and stop drawing attention to Facebook, it will consume it’s self next, they are bringing in all the same games.

How about you go after that video chat that requests you to talk to strangers? Make a movement that is worth something. You geeks are just bashing for a current trend. Trendy geeks, I have no other defining words for you.. Well I do but hey.

You enjoy your rally of nothingness.

Tech and Video Game Help Forum Launched

If you are in search of a community to help with a tech or video game question, head over to iworkwithtech.com

The first member to give 100 posts will be given administrator position. Second Member to give 100 Posts will be given Moderator Position. You must notify one of the administrators when you achieve 100 non spammy posts. All posts must be relevant to their section and helpful to other users.

The community is created to be helpful for people in search of  answers, so if you are a geek like myself, feel free to join and  creat a few posts answering the questions you are sick of answering, that way when you get the questions again, you can just send the link to that person, and be done with the redundancy of it.

As the owner of http://truxtertech.com I found many questions coming to pages from people who just have a bad problem they need fixed. I do not have all of the answers, So many of the questions had to go unanswered. I decided to create a place for those with questions to go and post their questions with the chance of someone answering them for them. Since I had the domain name iworkwithtech, just laying around looking dead, I made this place.

There is a page to help people locate the latest bots tips tricks and cheats for myspace and facebook games. Game like  Mafia wars, Mobsters, street racer and the such. so it would be very helpful if you could post any links to anything you know of, because I get questions here about that stuff all the time. and well, I just do not know all of that yet. I will check all links for popups and spam and any malware that might be bundled in the downloads. So please use virscan to check all downloads first. I do not want to have to ban someone for being thoughtless.

I hope you join me in this quest to save the world from their hardware/software and stupid video game.. (lol)

Copied and pasted from facebook, Sorry I have no say on anything here except ‘What do you expect???”

It has been a great year for making the world more open and connected. Thanks to your help, more than 350 million people around the world are using Facebook to share their lives online.

Mark Zuckerberg

A woman from Canada lost her insurance after facebook visit from her insurance company. seems they saw her vacation pictures and said ” Hey you not so cool”

Here is the real story followed by  My take.

Lost her insurance because of Facebook Pictures

A Canadian woman on sick leave for depression said Monday she would fight an insurance company’s decision to cut her benefits after her agent found photos on Facebook of her vacationing, at a bar and at a party………..

Ok, You back from reading that? Really it is a short read so if you haven’t read it . Go read it.

She goofed by giving the insurance company the same email address she registered her Facebook account with. But that does not make her a bad person. Really it makes her insurance company practically an internet Stalker. Facebook is pretty strict and locked tight. Most profiles, you can’t see someone’s profile unless you are invited to see it, or if you request to be their friend and they accept. So somewhere in that area she made a mistake. That of course is not against the law. Tricking her into thinking she is going to have a new friend is deceptive though.

An insurance agent over-riding the doctor’s request, is foul, and well here in the united states, the doctor would probably sue the insurance company because of the claim against the doctor’s credibility.

So.. What have  we learned here?

Probably not much.

We all have used a community of some sort. From java chat rooms o Irc chatrooms, to forums and bulletin boards. We have used Myspace, Facebook, Jaiku and Twitter.

One thing they all have in common, is community.

What type of community do you like? or what kind would you like to see again.

My favorite of all time was MSN chatrooms based on city/location. Lets you make the world a bit smaller and gets you in touch with hundreds even on a day you are sick. Forums are too slow but seem to be the closest we have. IRC even though msn chat was on an IRC server, IRC seems to vulnerable for massive attacks.

S what would you like to see again, or more of?

Wow how cool is that?

Face book catches up to 2001.

Good thing they stopped that whole ” ehh we are too good for that let’s be like tiny url”

Sorry all I hate face book, I call it the anti social network.

It’s not social if you can’t add friends by browsing strangers.

You are not social if you are an E-Hermit.

But back on topic.

Does that mean ” facebook.com/myspacegigolo”

Will be available ??

Well I was trying to log into live.pirillo via the Wyldryde irc chat connection. I ran into a bit of an issue. Some how the site scrambled my password.

I headed to the help command “/nickserv help”. The list showed that by typing “/nickserv SENDPASS” it would send my password to my email account so I can verify that I typed it properly. If it was not the proper password I would just go ahead and use the password I typoed. but no, that did not happen, the instant replay was “SENDPASS command unavailable because encryption is in use”. I of course humored by the irony of the no/help  post into the chatroom a quote of this error nottice, meanwhile the server keeps changing my name to unidentified, but chatzilla kept trying to sign me back. no less than two seconds after I posted the  statement, a low level moderator decides to tell me it isn’t stupid, then kicks me out of the room. I am shocked that he flipped out instead of helping out, I come back and of course “mouse” decides that he hasn’t proven himself a man yet so he goes on to make threats. I have no idea what has him so hot. So I say in some foul words “untill they removes a person like you from moderation, I will not be coming back” and I leave.. What’s he do???  He goes to an unassociated venue that he and I are both signed for, of course he is a moderator there, and he locks my account  Geek  Pirillo.

Chris clearly does not know this going on and my messages are getting intercepted before they get to him.

I also was logged in on another account called “kline_raider”.

I mean I can act a complete fool like anyone and make this really hard on everyone, but I’m not doing this.

I am trying to get it resolved.

Looks like examiner thinks so.

Tech Crunch thinks it is a maybe deal

So does pc world

I myself Have been thinking for a while that it probably should have happened a while back.
The big issue is everyone says that twitter has no market. Yes they do. It’s 100% plain simple advertisement already.
Twitter should have had adsense on the top of every page in the script from the start. they would have easily cleared as much money as google could offer by now. But they played it smart and pointed at nothing but keeping the users happy. Sad think is, whom ever is to purchase twitter, will have a goal different of the twitter group, so expect to see some changes. what made it popular will no longer be there. The freedom to post at no cost, without intrusive ads. We hoard to that kind of atmosphere. Now we all wait with our fingers on our twitter aps in our cell phones, and wonder when we have to uninstall it.

have you seen the new look of facebook?
Seems not many are happy with the new look.
I myself make it loud and clear that I hate facebook and it’s interactivity.
The place is the antisocial network. You can’t call it a social network if the only
friends you can have, are friends you already have.

webpro posts votes on facebooks looks

We are not happy, and we are not stupid

Despite those numbers, despite rabid user loyalty, you’re losing money, so much money you got delisted from Forbes’ Masters of the Universe Billionaires list. At the same time another social network, much smaller than yours with less functionality and more questionable future, is gaining a lot of buzz and membership.

Are we understanding that A.D.D. actually meant that some people think differently and faster, not less organized? organized differently? or will the drug companies keep that under their pillow and never let the truth out on that one?
well lol here.

The most obvious issue about social media: Is this a useful way to spend your time, or is it a sinkhole of attractive distraction? It could very easily be one of those one minute, and the other the next! It all depends on why you’re doing it, and this must be evaluated moment to moment. It’s an important distinction to make for yourself, because focus is probably your greatest asset that you can control. You must be judicious about where you place it and what you let grab it, thus reducing your effectiveness.
