FIRSTIES!

I’m listening to the show while I’m walking the dog and I almost fall over laughing because I hear Annie say something… well, so absolutely fortuitous.

It’s fortuitous because I heard my wife say almost the exact same thing yesterday when we were talking about… the iPad… she said, “Wait for the 3rd Generation, all the kinks will have been worked out…” she even walked me through the evolution of bleeding edge versus early adopters for the purpose of alpha and beta testing… but in my wife’s not ubergeeky way of explaining it. It’s like some higher power has found just the language I need to hear and is giving it to me through the mouth of my wife and reinforcing it by having one of my favourite PodCasts talk about the same topic.

Or maybe she’s listening to you guys before I am? Hmmmmm….

I seem to see everything in new media lately with a male/female lens- but I found it interesting that Annie and Sarah both were aware of an A- lister vs. everyone else sensibility at SXSW and Mike felt that the atmosphere was much more inclusive. I wasn’t at SXSW but often feel myself aware of the internet “celebrity culture” and the how many followers can you get social media marathon. Is it that women feel less entitled in general that make us more aware of the cliques we are not a part of and of the “will you serve my ego by coming to the restaurant that I tweet I am eating at” manipulation-and is it the man’s natural sense of entitlement that assumes leo laporte is tweeting his lunch plans because he is really dying to meet me?

And, on internet privacy (thanks for a great show guys! as usual you got my engines revved)- I have a thirteen year old niece and I often will click through when she comments on a friend’s status. I am amazed by how many of her thirteen year old girl friends have both their walls and their photos available to the public. Often relatively suggestive photos. Again I can’t help but wonder why a thirteen year old girl- from a online savvy generation has chosen to make her photos public (lets not even get into why their parents allow it and what their parents do or dont’ know about online privacy). Could it be that these young girls love the positive reinforcement they get from their suggestive photos? What does that say about how we have taught are youngest generation to value themselves….

There’s a part of me that is really impatient with the whole user-as-victim thing when it comes to online privacy. Yes, sites are collecting information about us. And if we are adults, it is incumbent upon us to protect ourselves.

As with everything else in life, we must behave responsibly and champion our own welfare. We can’t legitimately blame Facebook or Twitter or online banking if we are behaving like helpless children and act carelessly with our own personal information.

Hello, Facebookers! I want to encourage you to do these things. Read. Understand. Act in your own best interest. If you can’t do these things for yourself, then get the hell off the interwebz.

This is the 21st century. Join it!

PS – But no matter how Grumpy I am, I will still direct people when they ask, because at least they want to know how to protect themselves!

Comment on Episode 26 | to Buzz or not to Buzz by Alachia

I loved this episode a lot. The balance of ideas and commentaries is great. I particularly liked the discussion on google buzz and that you flushed out the issues as well as the potentials of the new tool. It’s not your simple “I hate it or I loved it.”

Hope you guys can find the time to do more this year. I really look forward to them.

Need to figure out what makes certain Disney hotel rooms and attractions impervious to a cell phone signal, then deploy those conditions to the tween/teen sleepover site. You could make a mint. We have anti-spam and anti-virus, now we can have anti-sext

Regarding the Amazon thing and not using the author’s name – if I’m reading this correctly, it sounds like the terms of service indicate that they reserve the RIGHT to use the author’s name, but it does not sound like they are OBLIGATED to use the author’s name. It might sound like a split hair, but that’s how I’m reading it.

That being said, I agree it sucks to use people’s content and not at least attribute it. They’re getting it for free; the least they can do is throw the author a bone. It would not cost them a thing to do so.
