ABC News: Facebook Scandal Version 2.0 - http://abcnews.go.com/Busines...

In full-blown legalese, Facebook basically told its users that when they posted personal information to their Facebook pages (including photos, the music they were listening to at that moment, or their favorite movies), Facebook owned that information forever and could use it in just about any manner the company wished.
- Leo Laporte
@michael okay - define "use" in view of "ownership" - even format, platform, biz-model ... $300 mil est revenue for 175 mil accts - are you in favor of upside shared with users not just advertisers? What about liability against ID Theft or misuse of information deemed "private"?
- Scott Moskowitz
@michael I'll comment independent of @moskowitz the user has a definite interest in how their information is "used" or "owned" - not everything is viewed in legal terms - trust is "fungible" - look at the banking system. If "rights" are paramount where is "transparency" & "responsibility"? to assert that changes to terms of service are made solely to accomodate a biz model then the expectation of the provider is suspect - suggest the arguments made famous by dan geer> security as insurance

my thoughts on this here: http://www.chuqui.com/2009... -- my future w/ facebook depends on how they fix this. Their new facebook people blog isn't the answer... I've limited what I put on facebook for a while, it's mostly about keeping in contact with other friends on facebook than it is content creation on facebook. they can own my status updates if they want, I won't miss them...

Attempts at lock-in under a false assumption concerning how value accrues for content - hint - faster to market & conversion to willingness to pay is better than walled gardens ... Increase time to market for channels and measure associated ROI for each channel & figure out what it means to have a standard (hint - lock-in might relate, patent pools might, standards as proxy for status quo, etc etc)

Windows Live (Microsoft's new social network) isn't doing much for me so far.

That site is a mess, as I mentioned earlier today, I'm annoyed that my Twitter DMs show up on the site. I see they've implemented PM, but it still doesn't change the fact that I have to go to someone else profile to make a comment on what I see in my home page.
- Admiral Anika
I don't think Windows Live is that new. It's been around a couple years I know about, and I think they started it with the release of Vista. Of course, like most anything Microsoft does, they don't innovate but poorly imitate. I've always used Hotmail as a spam dump, since it does such a good job at attracting it.
- Charles Baldwin
Windows Live is an ad-hoc collection of old things that MS has put a somewhat consistent wrapper on. However, the Windows Live apps (Writer, Photo Gallery) are a different beast. Pretty good for free apps.
- Victor Solanoy
Charles, Windows Live had a major rehaul in December and relaunched as a sort of Facebookish social network. Personally I had high hopes for the service, especially since I think that social network as a platform would integrate well with things like Media Center or XBox 360 for photo sharing, etc.. So far though it's just super boring. Even more boring than Facebook because so many fewer people are on it.
- Thomas Hawk
+1 Victor. I don't use any of the Live Services, but most of the Live apps are kickass!
- Yuvi
Thomas - timely comments, I'm actually shocked how quickly the spam arrived on a recent new account ... Well not that surprised but perhaps that is their "pay-as-go" PC ;-)
- Scott Moskowitz
yes, Windows live is very new. Over 50% of the email I'm getting on it already is spam. I get less than 5% spam on both Facebook and Flickr mail. That's not good.
- Thomas Hawk
I don't get why MS doesn't have these services talking to each other. I should be able to play my Xbox and send a status to WL. Impossible. If I'm on my Xbox page, I should be able to talk to my WL page. Same with my MS Office pages and so on. I get privacy, but if I log in to a page successfully, don't make me log in again when I want to add features. And speaking of which, you'll note that you can NOT delete services from WL.
- Admiral Anika
Anika, that's right. Think about this. If MSFT could develop a photo sharing site as robust as Flickr and then people could see photos from their friends and family via the XBox 360s or Media Center PCs that are hooked up to the TVs in their house. There is huge potential for MSFT in tying in a social network with other existing platforms, IM, XBox, Media Center, etc. but I'm afraid that they move too slow. They can't even get the basics of photo licensing down.
- Thomas Hawk
and they should be watching services like FF in order to better optimize their newsfeed service. MSFT has huge potential here but with the speed of a dinosaur (i.e. lawyers, middle level managers, bureaucrats) they may not have the skills to do this in the end. They are already late to the game here. They should be innovating faster here.
- Thomas Hawk
Thomas, that wasn't spam. I was just trying to be nice. Besides, you DO look fine ;)
- Philip Tomlinson
I think Microsoft produces great products, so I just can't figure out why so many of their online products suck. Live Mesh looks amazing, but it is still coming from their bread and butter of connecting people through for productivity purposes. Their search sucks, Live sucks, Messenger is a good product although it is becoming less relevant by the day. I haven't tried out their Live product for more than a few minutes but it was enough to show me that it was definitely not something I was interested in.
- Devlin Dunsmore
from twhirl
I don't know Philip, if you're as hot as you say you are in that email, maybe we should hang out then. ;)
- Thomas Hawk
What's funny to me is has much Live Search sucks online. I forget that because on my phone it is AWESOME and accurate. Why the huge disconnect?
- Admiral Anika
Devlin I think the power of Windows live comes with extending the social network experience to other devices. MSFT has a huge install base with the 360 now. They also have a fairly mature Media Center product getting even better with Windows 7. Using a robust photo sharing site for instance to stream photos via these devices to screens attached to these devices has huge potential. If they can pull it off.
- Thomas Hawk
But what we are all missing here in Microsoft's now 14 year old failure to adequately stop spam in Hotmail. I think more people would be more willing to deal with MS online if they had taken the time back in '94 to effectively block spam as well as Outlook does. There should have been intergrative between Outlook and Hotmail back then. With each new MS feature that requires me to use my Hotmail account, I get a ton more spam.
- Admiral Anika
My point being, if there was a full integration of services, it would almost be moot because I'm not going to sift through 100 pieces of spam to find that my uncle posted photos or my friend beat my high score in PuzzleQuest. KWIM?
- Admiral Anika
Anika, good point. I've already been less than impressed with how much spam I'm getting on Windows Live as a new user. I wonder why gmail is able to do such a better job than MSFT in this regard.
- Thomas Hawk
I really don't understand the high spam count. They can certainly do better than that.
- Eric @ CSTechcast.com
The Hotmail account associated with my WL/Xbox/MS Office is one I got in 1994. Back then, I was getting 10 spam pieces a day. Annoying. By 1997, I was averaging about 30/day. FF to today, I get 300 emails a day. 299 of them are spam.
- Admiral Anika
I just logged into my Hotmail account and was greeted with this: You spoke, Hotmail listened Over the past year, many of you told us that you wanted a cleaner, faster Hotmail. We released the new Hotmail to meet those needs, and now we're adding more improvements based on your feedback. In this version, we've changed the way that scrolling works for users who have the reading pane...

- Admiral Anika
Nothing about spam, you'll note. Hotmail could have been great. Like a lighter Outlook Express. Remember back in '99 when for 2 years they said that drag and drop was coming soon?
- Admiral Anika
@anika great points but all this wasted bandwidth & user annoyance is really baffling ... meanwhile, a simple service/bandwidth filter that does not store content (eg, friendfeed) & enables us to chat quite easily & effectively about it ... value in simplicity &/or "back to basics" ...

Couldn't disagree more with this phrase. There's no point in competing other than testing your limits. If you loose, it just means you've to try harder, study more, etc. The root of the problem is that everybody feels they have to win at everything. When I accept I won't be a great guitar player, but I may be a great something else, I may feel a lot better about what I do best, but won't feel bad when I listen to my favorite songs, unable to play them.

once upon a time there was a group of hippies. these hippies lived on a beach. they only did one thing all day, and that was play a game where the goal was to keep a giant beachball in the air for as long as possible. this was the only game they knew. but in this game nobody lost, nobody kept score, everyone cooperated, everyone had fun. they were happy hippies.
- Karim
then one day one of the hippies said "this game sucks! it is boring." and he decided to create some new games mostly revolving around destroying the beachball or stealing the beachball and only sharing it with his friends. eventually this evil hippie had a collection of beachballs which he eventually sold the other hippies at exorbitant prices. "*now* i am having fun," the evil hippie said to himself.
- Karim
This inspired me to think of a game where the aim is to lose. The problem is that if you lose -> you win -> you lose. And if you win -> you lose -> you win... *sound of head exploding*
- Jemm
I don't agree with this statement either. One of the reasons we have a problem with kids now is that school psychology says that losing destroys a kid's self esteem so they all "win"... which really means no one does and you're playing to the lowest common denominator of what the least skilled/motivated kid can do. Competition is important. It's part of what we are... It's part of nature... it makes us grow and improve ourselves and our quality of life. It's not pretty and it's not "fair" but it's useful.

I disagree with this. There's a difference between comparing favors done to / for A-List "blogstars" and the rank and file. I think if you filtered to the common person using social media (if there is such a thing) there would be a lot less of the types of interactions. I'm sure not bringing my kids to play dates or having anyone who I meet online babysit them until I know those people in real life.

"so questions arise - pardon the observations ... what is the value of the music (we know the expense as we can count the receipts) how about your time? less than 0.03% of albums - long tail is not a proven theory - account for over 50% of major record revenues - do you have similar stats to your own content? ... is this not similar to the impact of user-generated content on networks in general? meaning do you think the value of the content you create (in this post for instance) has an equivalent value with the music you identify here under some set of conditions? do you monitor it? enjoyed the post as usual"

"Yes *authenticity* is the value ... Make the subject the object & the object the subject - people connect with great stories, narratives, SONG ... Trust is fungible with these services (yahoo music, MSN music, real's subscription services are great examples) - no trust & they quickly disappear for unknown reasons (fungibility) - what $2.99 for a ringtone & 99 cents for the MP3? Great post - worth more than any $2.99 ringtone & certainly more than 2 cents! What is piracy anyway? Fair use? Value?"
