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.

Social media getting shot back at.

looks like yelp.com is under fire

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.

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.

MySpace and Media Content Upgrade

What was leaked… became. But no one got excited.

I assume the excitement was killed from overanticipation.

Well they are creating a music service from 4 record labels and maybe more.

Executives from MySpace officially announced the creation of MySpace Music, a service that will be jointly operated by News Corp.’s MySpace and, at least initially, three out of the four top record labels.
