Facebook and Techcrunch: the costs of technological determinism and configuring users

September 15 at 8:06 pm - via Reshare - Link

Couldn't have said it better myself. Facebook needs to relax a bit, and start a dialogue with their members. The 'dictatorial' community management tactics (which I have encountered a few times myself) is a huge turn off. Having your entire network on the site isn't enough to keep one going back. - Rai

"do you see what happens when you f*ck someone in the ass?" mccain screwed up by declaring war on his 'base'; the media. there's just gonna be more of this until he invites them back to his house for another bbq. - Faboo Mama

Watching video now. Ridiculous. - Larry Kless

And people are still voting for her and McCain... I just don't get it, i really don't. - mortisha

mortisha, they're probably low-information voters who get most of their "news" via idiots at work, church, or chain emails. - Faboo Mama

Let's not call people idiots simply because they seem to us to be making idiotic decisions. They probably just have drastically different priorities and fears than ours. They may limit their information to other like-minded individuals or to a single news feed like Fox. But to attack people as idiots simply ensures they'll dislike you and give them more reason to consider disliking your preferred (presumed) candidate. We need to be accepting. Let the Republican party be exclusionary. - ·[▪_▪]·

well, even though it can be annoying, the candidates mudsling and attack each other all the time. - mortisha

note what I said: "idiots at work". that encompasses all belief systems; religious, political, technological and otherwise. - Faboo Mama

What a goon. He criticizes Palin for not knowing what the "Bush Doctrine" was, when Gibson did not know what it was either. - Charles LePage

As long as the Democratic party regards people who do not vote for their candidates as ill informed idiots, it will continue to be perceived as elitist and snobbish. And it will not have my respect. - Charles LePage

It's also very possible well informed people who get their information from a variety of sources may believe McCain is the better candidate. Until you understand and accept that, you will continue to be confounded and suckered by truth twisters like Olbermann. - Charles LePage

It's a lot easier to call someone who disagrees with you an idiot than it is to admit that they might just be correct. And if you have to admit that they have some intelligence to them, then you're left wondering what it is you yourself are missing. Unless, of course, you can simply accept that people are wired differently. - Craig Eddy

Charles, Keith does not speak of all Dems and certainly not the party. You are right, on both sides of the fence we struggle to understand why the other side could possibly support the other side. I really don't understand and I say that with all due respect. The only thing I grasp is the abortion issue, but then as serious as that issue is, with the economy and climate I cannot imagine that being a single driving factor. - Ruth Ferguson

I have respect for Matt Damon as an actor, but this is just another example of American Idol politics. Why do we listen to celebrities' opinions on politics? Their celebrity has no bearing on their expertise on the issues, it is merely a soapbox. All that said, I really do dig his dinosaur question, and whether a candidate denies accepted science to further personal mythologies or political goals is a big factor in whether I can vote for them. - £ogical €xtremes

@Logical - I don't get this self rightous attitude against actor (or even celebrities) who express their opinions - what is about them that make their opinions of less value than your own? .. I just don't understand .... - Steven Hodson

Im with Steve Hodson, Damon isn't on a stage saying this, tis youtube! - Jeremiah Owyang

And intelligently said, as well. +1 Matt. - JodyUnwired

Why are people reacting as if Matt Damon has asked someone to do something? He sat in front of a camera and stated his personal opinion. What's the big deal? LOL. I don't get why people are freaking about this video. - RAHwsomeSHEENsauce™

+1 Rahsheen - Lindsey Smith

Actors aren't allowed to have opinions? I don't see anyone complaining about Fred Thompson, Arnold, or even Ronald Reagan. Yes, we do complain about the country singers - but that's because the music is just god awful. And yes, the actors on FOX News too, but that's because they try to pass themselves off as real journalists. - PC Easy via twhirl

I disagree LE. It's too easy for others to say, "Oh he's an actor, what the hell does he know?" Okay, so he is an actor. Does that mean he has nothing else to offer? People are not one dimensional, or at least I hope not. Celebs are still part of society no? I won't argue against the fact that many celebs have a skewed sense of reality (lots of yes men) and many celebs are :| (Paris Hilton.) But, there are many intelligent people who are artists and also happen to be involved in politics. - Anna Haro

Take away the video, and the audio and focus on the TEXT (the ideas) did you like that? - Jeremiah Owyang

I'm with Steven - I don't value Matt Damon's opinion on politics any more than I value most of the people I read on the internet who have no experience or qualifications on politics other than what they heard on Fox, CNN or MSNBC last night. - Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins

I don't value a celebrity's opinion less than my own, and in fact think Matt is quite intelligent and makes some excellent points. I'm not trashing actors as shallow clones. My point was simply that a celebrity has a built-in audience, many who may be more swayed by the speaker than the message. I can't think of a single reason why Palin should be VP, but I guess I wish for the impossible... for everyone (right, left, up, and down) to focus on the issues and for the media to really do a proper job. - £ogical €xtremes

I like the way how Matt Damon speaks. It is straight and clear unlike typical political hard-to-understand over-diplomatic formularions that you have to read between the lines. Very refreshing! - Jan Horna

that should be REQUIRED VIEWING for Every American!! - Billy Warhol

[drily] Oh, it is an experienced actor telling me what to think, what to do, and what to believe. Oh heavens, how did I ever get along without Matt Damon as my guiding star? Surely he is as well-versed in the intricasies of political discourse as professional analysts and pundits, given his vast repository of free time in which he can studied abstruse issues. Gosh, I'm sure glad Matt Damon was here to save us. [/drily] - Alexander Williams

@Alexander - Well, considering pundits said Obama called Palin a pig, I'm thinking it's about time to listen to someone, you know, intelligent. Shall we get a sock puppet and a child to explain it for you? - dkb

It's interesting how people seem to believe that if someone is an actor or musician that they should immediately lose their right to share their opinions on anything serious. Damon is stating his thoughts and concerns about Sarah Palin, he isn't telling people what to think or do. Also, Damon is probably much more well-versed on issues than the people that attempt to demean his opinions. He has done a lot of work for the ONE campaign to combat AIDS as well as co-founding an organization that aims to... - Kevin Bondelli

...prevent genocides across the globe and founding the H20 Africa Foundation, which helps people in Africa get access to clean water. - Kevin Bondelli

Good points @LE, regardless of his status as a Hollywood actor, he does makes good points and when it comes down to it he's a voter too. I think more people need to speak out against McPalin. I find all the attention on her new celebrity media status nauseating, just like fast food. - Larry Kless

he may be informed on certain issues, but he asks a ton of questions in rapid succession as if the answers aren't easily attainable. it's not a particularly difficult task to spend a few hours on the internet looking for some history on her. half his questions are answered at the wikipedia, and the other half you can find at snopes and factcheck. - Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins

Good points too @Kevin - Larry Kless

I feel like Chris Crocker. "Leave Damon alone!" - Kevin Bondelli

I'm one of those Americans who are anti-democratic at heart, and are compliant when faced with authority. And I wish Matt Damon would shut his yap and leave politics to the professionals. - Chris Baskind

After all he's done for you Chris? He gave you Good Will Hunting for god's sake! Leave Damon alone! Anyone that has a problem with Damon you deal with me, because he is not well right now. - Kevin Bondelli

He gets to vote doesn't he? Why shouldn't he get to express this opinion on the matter then? Take it whichever way you want - who cares? - Rai

the least thing America needed now was to have someone like Matt Damon expressing himself publically over his preferences. - Hayk Hakobyan

I am pretty sure there are a lot of things that would be worse for America than someone exercising their First Amendment rights. - Kevin Bondelli

Haha, Palin's people actually responded! 'Maria Comella, a spokeswoman for Palin, called the comments "name-calling."' Fear Matt Damon. - Rodfather

Right Kevin, except that while exercising his rights while expressing himself over somthing he is not necessarily "qualified" or "competent" - anything that involves matters of national peace and security - is gonna affect a whole bunch of people in a way that might or might not be beneficial for the country. P.S. I am pro-Obama, of course, but the idea of this guy talking doesnt put me at ease. - Hayk Hakobyan

I didn't see him giving advice on American foreign policy. He is saying that he isn't comfortable with Sarah Palin potentially being the President of the United States, especially since she isn't answering questions people want to know. - Kevin Bondelli

You are right, but the fact that he says that publically and has many Americans watch it is a big deal. For example. someone who is not much aware of politics or is undecided might be converted to what Damon says because he/she migth have a liking for this guy or because he/she might think this guy is a big deal if he speaks publically. Just examples. - Hayk Hakobyan

Honestly, that's how most people decide who to vote for. It's the way our brain works. People tend to vote based on their emotional attachment to a political party or if they react positively to how a candidate makes them feel. If someone believes in their opinions about a candidate, they should want to be able to influence people towards that candidate. As someone who is a political campaign professional, my entire job has been persuading people to vote a certain way. Campaigns are all about persuasion. - Kevin Bondelli

To me political campaigns of recent times look more like a brainwash that persuasion as the latter has to have rational and factual arguments while loads of what is deployed by the campaign play on psychological side of emotional attachment, prejudice and peer pressure. - Hayk Hakobyan

Excellent piece, Sarah. I, too, have found my FF usage waning a bit in the last few weeks due to work schedules. I've simply been too busy to participate. But what hasn't waned is my regular checking-in. FriendFeed is without a doubt my news source now, long ago eclipsing Google Reader. I think the service has too firm of a hold on people to burn out but do think some upgrading is badly needed. A more sophisticated filtering system alone would do wonders for the service. And they need to up the social ante just a bit - allow for private messaging, for instance. It will be very interesting to watch how such a popular product evolves. Something tells me that FriendFeed in two years will be almost unrecognizable - if they play their cards right. - Carla Thompson via FriendFeed MT Plugin

Thanks for the link! When I first adopted FriendFeed it was easy to keep track of all the information being shared. When more and more people started to join the community I started to freak out. The question is... What can FriendFeed do (in terms of application design) to fix this problem? Hide functions are cool and all but something else needs to happen. - Kyle Lacy via FriendFeed MT Plugin

I stopped using Friendfeed for a while and have started to get back into it as I missed the discussions. Also, turning off notifications in Twhirl really helped. Now I just jump into the river when I'm ready. - Dion Hinchcliffe via twhirl

I think a lot of people getting tired is due to FriendFeed not releasing many new features lately. Did I hear somewhere that they were redoing their architecture, similar to what Twitter is doing? With lack of new features, we early adopters get bored easily. I'm curious what they've been working on though. - Jesse Stay via FriendFeed MT Plugin

I was going to say the exact same thing as Dion above me; Friendfeed became too overwhelming for a while there so I left and came back. Problem solved. - acedanger

voted. i love Friendfeed so much i incorporated it on my blog. i love Friendfeed like i love Flickr. i've been using it ever since along with Twitter, and Google Reader. they all fit together. but of course there are areas where Friendfeed could improve. my FF pet peeve is that i can't do a search on stuff i "liked" and "commented". i would also like to have a separate "description" field when adding stuff instead of treating is as just another comment. how about FF plugins? for example developers can write plugins that could filter FF data and user relationships. these plugins can then appear as extra tabs on the FF menu (like that "everyone" tab). however, in general i agree with Louis Gray. this talk of Friendfeed "fading" doesn't do justice to an awesome service. FF gave its users enough control on what information to hide and ignore. so this talk of information overload takes the user-responsibility out of the equation. we've got to take responsibility of our experiences people! :) ~C - ~C4Chaos via FriendFeed MT Plugin

You're going to have to consult a more credible source if you want to find the pulse of FriendFeed. For instance, if someone like Mona said she was getting sick of it...I might think it was passing it's prime. :) - RAHwsomeSHEENsauce™ via FriendFeed MT Plugin

I don't see the basis for this article. Its very fluttery although I agree with @carla that it was a fun read. How at this time anyone could suppose that FF is past its peak is foolhearty. FF will evolve alot over the next 12 months and the noise I have to agree with Louis's comment on RWW that noise is due to lazy users not using the tools available and also probably some tweaking is needed which Scoble alluded to in the quote you took from Kyle Lacy's post. - Roger Kondrat

I'm waiting to see how it evolves, because right now, I don't see it solving the problem well (if at all). Also, I still think it's only something early adopters and very net-savy people will ever use. Surely FriendFeed isn't targeting only this segment of the population? - Rai

Sarah, you mention noise being one of the bigger issues and that was echoed today by both Steve Rubel & Robert Scoble in this thread http://bit.ly/239KZg where I chimed in. There are some great scripts & tools I mention that help curtail the problem, but these are band-aids and ultimately need to be fixed and addressed by FriendFeed. FriendFeed is a great service but they made a conscious decision to focus on the community and conversation with a reward system in the way of "likes & comments". This turns it into somewhat into a platform to gain recognition which isn't a bad thing, but creates an eco system of noise. FriendFeed doesn't offer a true Lifestream where people can simply view a reverse chronological stream of data without being altered by external behavior. The lack of that defacto standard from a Lifestreaming perspective may turn off those who aren't there for the conversation but intrigued by Lifestreaming. So even though FriendFeed may be the current leader the kinks in the armor show that - Mark Krynsky via FriendFeed MT Plugin
