Got My Google Wave

Here is a screenshot of the first 5 minutes of usage  of Google Wave I have 5 more invites left, looking for actual friends that will use it, that’s the hard part.

for some of you out there, yeah I know, it took me almost two weeks longer than everyone else. yadda yadda.. Well I got it. Most people don’t.

The settings, well there are none, so far it seems I have to use my real name instead of the screen name I have used for the past 12 years. Then again most of the people on there will know me by my real name… right?   well no not really. All of them people know me on hotmail, everyone else has my gmail address. I have learned to use my gmail account for everything because the Google team really does a great job stopping the spam. but ok, back on track.   It looks like you get up to 8 invites into your buddies, so you better hope you have a tight circle of friends, where every friend you have has each other added, or it could be two or three years before that one friend you have, gets around to signing up.

Invite says

Google Wave is more fun when you have others to wave with, so please nominate people you would like to add. Keep in mind that this is a preview so it could be a bit rocky at times.

Invitations will not be sent immediately. We have a lot of stamps to lick.

Happy waving!

Could use a little bit of tweaking like twitter integration, not auto tweet crap like everything, but checks all of your twitter friends and sees who has wave and incorporates them in, without giving unwanted email addresses out, gives them the chance to accept or deny the invites.

Same with your Myspace and Facebook. and what ever social network comes up and fizzles out (like digg).

This actually has the potential of being as big as chatrooms used to be, but a tad bit more elitist and segregated. HMM a public chat addition would be nice but really no one seems to want that in their software anymore.

From the looks of it, it just looks like the place that gmail should go, like an add on or replacement for the google chatbox/im box.

Well when I get the chance to talk to people and see wtf it does,
I will message more on here or start a new thread.

For now it’s just an instant messenger and my buddy list sucks.

Lost Insurance Because Of Facebook??

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.

What is your Favorite online Community?

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?

Face Book With Vanity Urls

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/06/10/facebook_vanity_urls/

http://www.facebook.com/username/

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 ??

The cat’s away, the rodents will play

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.

Will Google Buy Twitter?

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.

Facebook’s New Look. Good or Bad?

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.

Leo Laporte Dropping IRC CHatroom?

Last Night after the recording of T.W.I.T. Leo Mentioned something of this.

Some of the chatroom whent nuts, the rest had o/s wars.

As long as i have known Leo, his chatrooms have been the backbone of grey cells.

We the chatters have been a group, collabrative effort to keep his show informative so we ourselves can continue to learn from him and each other. The ability to interact with him is the best part. To some day have your screen name mentioned on the show. but it looks as if he is about to uproot himself.

I truly hope he has a good plan.
