Not everyone subscribes to the me-me-me culture, and those who wish to control our identities (sometimes at the cost of a little lack of convenience) don't appreciate your argument that this desire is unfounded or phony; maybe it's impossible (by definition) for a blogger to understand our reasons, but please don't tell us that we don't really need our rights to privacy, simply on the basis of your lack of appreciation for yours.<BR/><BR/>You're the type who'll act surprised when abuses of power come to light, when in fact you help to facilitate them by claiming that we don't really need checks and balances. It's irresponsible and foolish to publish such dangerous nonsense in the current climate, no matter how right you feel in doing so.<BR/><BR/>Please read some history.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21332048.post-83482968955193622382007-06-12T02:57:00.000-04:002007-06-12T02:57:00.000-04:00Got me thinking about this...

This is a lie that I'm getting used to see all over the media, but to find it even on a planet python feed?<BR/><BR/>Fact: advertising exploit known human biases, mainly the "mere exposure" effect (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mere_exposure_effect) to increase the apparent advantages of a product over less marketed ones, regardless of their real comparative quality.<BR/><BR/>Fact: Advertising preys upon impulse purchasers, and everybody's impulsive reactions in general. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impulse_purchase)<BR/><BR/>Fact: People don't need advertising at all to find products they need. A google worshipper should know better (www.froogle.com) that there are better options for finding products to buy.<BR/><BR/>About the only positive effect of advertising is that it is the closest thing to a micropayment system we have got, but adjusting the advertising to the <B>content</B> is enough, you don't need to follow the audience back home.<BR/><BR/>Think about (sane) bloggers as rockstars, sure they appear on interviews on TV but they use disguises to go shopping. We all should wear disguised to the shopping mall...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21332048.post-82820837071962153982007-06-11T11:11:00.000-04:002007-06-11T11:11:00.000-04:00PUSH OVER!

Just a matter of point and click.<BR/><BR/> I'm a public person but I'm a private person at the same time, i choose the way I present myself to others. Most people appreciate this. Yes convenience is great but it doesn't rule my life.<BR/><BR/> People publishing their life in myspace get f*cked over all the time, and when that happens we blame the kid, 'cept parents that blame teh interwebs. I predict that in the near future we are going to see massive amounts of privacy abuse and that people will push hard for legal solutions, when technical solutions are available even today, that's the way the flocks fly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21332048.post-18625898450353608242007-06-11T07:33:00.000-04:002007-06-11T07:33:00.000-04:00Great post!I should try making a more interesting ...Great post!<BR/><BR/>I should try making a more interesting post like yours :-)Kyle Brookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03478997739016972899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21332048.post-65639024008163325472007-06-11T03:29:00.000-04:002007-06-11T03:29:00.000-04:00You have a disturbing lack of imagination in how i...You have a disturbing lack of imagination in how information can be used by others to harm you.
