@vincentvw The problem with "dislike" et al. is that internet's greater fuckwad theory guarantees mobs and bullying. Social DoS, so to say.
@vincentvw Groupthink? In SocWeb you have to "actively", and sometimes publicly, ignore/block. Also, there's no location context/filter.
@vincentvw you got dissed re: slashdot moderation in ff, but in my opinion its random/anon moderation is a success story (one of the few).
@vincentvw I'm really worried how the social web force-models social interactions in to "like". twitter doesn't assume much, which is nice.
@vincentvw given that there are 300m users, 2.5m is awfully small minority asking for a socially awkward functionality.
Every day I dream about the day when something better than Excel surfaces. Like Comic Sans, it's the lowest common denominator.

Tech IT Easy : A short story about Phil - http://www.techiteasy.org/2009...
"Well, e-mail and digital cameras did also a play small role helping Phil to fulfill his dad's wishes. I guess I saw last of Phil when I saw him walking with his cane to a different connecting flight terminal at Heathrow. I don't know, Phil told his story to pretty much everyone who he got to listen. After me, he tried to tell it to a young Indian girl, who was pissed that she couldn't get her frappuchino through security. "To tell her that it's all about respect", he said to me, telling that he got his orange juice just by being nice to the security guys... I wouldn't be surprised if someone else has the presence of mind to suggest a charity. Or, most likely, someone has already suggested that it at a different gate at a different time." - Kari Silvennoinen

@tarmotoikkanen vihreät osaavat kyllä tehdä Jyrki Kasvin äänestämisen ja tukemisen todella vaikeaksi.
@vincentvw i guess Fb's problem is that as a closed system they can't wait for 3rd parties to fix things, like Twitter and Microsoft can.

A record high jackpot in Lotto this weekend means newspaper articles about probabilities and statistics of it that are ... completely wrong. Also, it's actually pretty tricky to do a Chi-squared test on uniformity of distribution of historical lotto numbers.
After having modelled a couple of blocks of Tokyo, I have to admit that Google's Building Maker is pretty addictive.
