Timmy is in the slammer, and Alice is ashamed.
All of this could have been avoided by following the simple rules of Facebook etiquette.
Don't be bungleheads like Alice and Timmy.
Have good Facebook manners and the Electric Friendship Generator will be more fun for everyone.
videos like this have been done a bunch of times, but i dig this script. Facebook Manners and You.
Re: hunch - i'd be interested in knowing which users skipped the same questions as me. because there have been some questions ("what would you take to a desert island...", "do you care more about your online persona or 'actual reality'...") that i'm allergic to answering.

watched good night, and good luck again. now that looked like a good TV news program. are there any current TV programs that attempt to educate on complicated issues?
edit: so far, Frontline (PBS) and Horizon (BBC) have been recommended.

when i was in school, advertising in my mind was "making people buy stuff they don't need or want." advertising was the antithesis of all my imagined futures. in career class, we took quizzes to try and figure out which jobs would suit us. there were no clear career paths for me.
but if i could speak to careers teachers today, i'd say, "don't forget to tell the kids that entire! new! genres! of jobs are being created each year." and advertising now can be about helping people find information that they're actually already looking for. i pretty much love what i do. anyway, hush!

milla jovovich is driving her car. it's a two door mercedes. a car passes hers. she sees the man driving.
milla jovovich parks her car, later on, and goes into a coffee shop. the man whose car passed hers is in the shop, and he says, "hi, milla." he says some more things, but milla's attention wanders as she reads the menu boards and scans the shop counter for gingerbread men. she loves gingerbread.
the man stops talking and the pause indicates that he's waiting for a response. milla says, "sorry, i was distracted." the man winks and says, "to sum up, want to go out with me some time?" milla says, "not really. it's sweet that you speed and you don't care about speed, or injury, or death. but i'm just here looking for coffee."
so there's that.

melbourne had its first ignite last night: igniteweb. the introductory talk by steve(?) someone, defining & introducing the ignite concept, was superb. punchy.
i was also inspired by mike bailey's "building a bushfire charity website in 24 hours" - he contacted a group who were trying to find homes for misplaced pets and offered them technological assistance to sort through 10,000 emails (which translated to about 4,500 people offering help & feedback) and they accepted.
another great talk was daniel donahoo's "we can't afford a generation gap". my interpretation:
our housewarming is this saturday night. come along or file a noise complaint. (aside: i was surprised at how many people on hunch said that they had phoned the police to file a noise complaint!)
//
update: i made my aardvark questions more specific and detailed today, and received some good answers in return. more effort, more gain. i guess that's the go.

another great talk was daniel donahoo's "we can't afford a generation gap". my interpretation:
- there are new communication channels, and if you're not using them you won't be able to communicate with some people who are (e.g. kids using skype - if grandma learns skype, she can talk to them, but they might not be willing to phone her or write her).
- have a heart. reach out and teach other people how to use technology. everyone and anyone.

If a person says "I like to fit in and be in tune with those around me" — they're more likely to get the "switch to a Mac" result, but if they say they like to be perceived as unique and different to make their own mark — it's correlated with sticking with a PC! Mac users are not really thinking different after all, but following the herd. ...
Some other interesting things: People who believe in alien abductions are more likely to blame Nancy Pelosi for the financial crisis, and people who eat more often in restaurants than at home read Paul Krugman’s blog Conscience of a Liberal.
