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 ??
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.
jive.ly
From what I see at TechCrunch it’s a one man show with building that ap.
but Says he is taking on twitter with it.
Compares to a few others.
Not sure if we are supposed to say “Jively” or Jive-l-y =-\
We will see after the snobs fondle it for a while and tell us if it’s cool or not
(aka the not so techy crew who bang with rocks can’t figure out, call stupid and walk away guys)
LOL just kidding. Try it out, tell me what you think.
Try the Video addon and images, tell me how you liked it and what you found.
Is it better than Twitter?
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.

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.

looks like yelp.com is under fire
according to
http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/T/TEC_SOCIAL_WEB_GROWING_PAINS?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT
The complaints highlight an irony for Web sites that stimulate online communities and let users speak their minds. As the sites make the world more transparent, giving people the power to discuss everything from a great pizza to a bad date, the sites’ own transparency is often questionable, as consumers and businesses struggle to understand how they operate.
I have been very busy with my social sites.
I will index them all in google and yahoo very soon. When I am done after I get a few people on each of them and get a few complaints and requests so
I can tweak the site. The launches will all be at the same time. So yeah I will get very drunk and and celebrate my efforts on that day.
Thanks to those who have helped and believed in my efforts and knew that I could do this.
I will take two shots for each of ya.
This is what I have been wasting my time with.
truxter.org
truxtertech.com.
and
iworkwithtech.com
and
iworkwithmusic.com
iworkwithpeople.com
I am sure atleast one pertains to your interests in some shape or fashion.
Do me favor, Sign up to one and make a post for me.
I need to see how well the sites handle stuff before I go full
release with this stuff. Also let me know what you think and what you
might want to suggest.
I like music with no label. I love the idea of being independant with your distribution.
I like the way social networks work. I love the idea of free stuff with no backlash. Just express your feelings and share. Not record what you think people want to hear you sing and sell it for 99 cents a song to millions of people. A million people will not buy it.
but what ever. I created a site iworkwithmusic.com
You go there , you creat an account, you create a profile, you make your own calendar, on your calendar you list you events so people know what and when . We all get our own links in the iworkwithmusic site. but you have to be a member for a while and show activity. I mean it isn’t a super hassle but i do allot of the back end work manually. Meaning at firsat your profile-calandar will be something like http://iworkwithmusic.com/user/view.php?id=2&course=1 . After some time it will be changed to http://truxter.iworkwithmusic.com
I have not made that link yet , so… I know it does not work. Really my profile at the moment is pointless. It’s about getting you guys a place to put your stuff and let people listen to it. If you have a website where you sell your music, it’s ok if you link to that place. Just don’t turn the place into a link farm. I have the site set up with alot of pinging services, so everytime you make an update, the world knows about it instantly.
Sign up and make a mark on the calendar, Let’s give the people stuff to listen to.
Great idea came. iworkwithpeople.com a social employment site.
Create a forum for people to use to post jobs.
and people can reply to those posts if needed.
Main thing is to control the spammers with “work at home” job crap, that sends you emailing 4000000000000 people to only get one response so you earn 25 cents.
So now you can respond to scammers and their posts, basicly flame them out to oblivion.
Call moderator and get the adds removed.. who knows, if you are there long enough looking for a job, you may even make a few friends. I myself am always looking for a better job.
It is made for the career minded people who just do not fit in any catagory in any of the job searches. Like say if you want to be a manager of a gas station, look on monster or career builder and search manager you find head ceo manager of Exxon. yeah right , you know you aren’t qualified for that. .. hopefully iworkwithpeople.com will do this right for the regular people.
Cool feture is, your profile is your resume`. Join now creat your profile and just change it every week.
