According to @sing_twop_1000 who informed me this afternoon, I’ve been using Twitter now for three years. That’s a good thing… right?!

Hot on the heels of my comment on someone’s tweet about Facebook (wow, wasn’t that an internet sentence) one of my friend CalgaryGuru’s tweets got me thinking about FriendFeed.
Just pulled Facebook out of my FriendFeed… Stuff I post on FB doesn’t always make sense as a twitter tweet. Besides, FF is depricated.

Many attendees say they don’t trust Facebook. Concerned about how their data is used, permissions, and connecting personal with work

It seems Mark Zuckerberg has started poking fun at the folks who adamantly hate the latest in a string of new Facebook changes.

So Facebook has made a bunch of changes, presumably as a result of buying out and killing FriendFeed, which has resulted in trillions of users forming a group demanding they change back, which has made headlines in traditional media outlets, and that Facebook management will ignore. People will learn to live with the downgraded site, and will continue to use it because it’s where all their friends are, and Facebook management will continue to give out data to third parties to perform data mining without assurances of privacy while cackling "fools!" all the way to the bank.
In other news, grilled cheese sandwiches are best made with bread instead of soggy cardboard, an ejector seat works best when there’s an opening in the cockpit roof, and The Bird is The Word!
At this point the only reason I keep my Facebook account open is for people to contact me who still use it. Despite Facebook’s envy of the service the two are not broadly equivalent, but most of the people I care about are on Twitter now anyway.

Since I switched to Opera 10 as my primary browser when I got fed up with Firefox’s constant crashes and sluggish performance (a topic for a future post) I’ve started noticing ads again. Need to set up some filters now that I don’t have AdBlock Plus any more! Anyway, I saw this advertisement on a news site which redirects to the gargantuanly-titled Australian Interactive Media Industry Association article that’s talking ’bout my generation, titled Getting Inside Gen Y.

Having been better for a couple of years compared to their less than stellar record in 2007, recent stability problems with Twitter have highlighted its vulnerability from a technical standpoint, though it’s not the problem I wanted to talk sweepingly about here.
