«[…] Mikalah uses Facebook but when she goes to log out, she deactivates her Facebook account. She knows that this doesn’t delete the account – that’s the point. She knows that when she logs back in, she’ll be able to reactivate the account and have all of her friend connections back. But when she’s not logged in, no one can post messages on her wall or send her messages privately or browse her content. But when she’s logged in, they can do all of that. And she can delete anything that she doesn’t like. Michael Ducker calls this practice “super-logoff” when he noticed a group of gay male adults doing the exact same thing. […]»

«[…] as a designer, it bothers me, not only because badly designed things bother designers, but because badly designed things in a highly successful product spur a lust for imitation. I don’t want our clients to think “like” works. I don’t want them desiring similarly broken functionality on sites we design for them. I don’t want them thinking users don’t need tools that work, simply because millions of users don’t complain about broken tools on Facebook. Tools like like and its sad little pop-up.

Me no like.»

the rise of the stream


Ja, auch deutschsprachiger Inhalt erscheint hier — oder wie in diesem Fall, verweist auf diesen. Ein meiner Meinung nach sehr interessanter Rückblick von Markus Spath beinhaltet unter anderem auch:

»[…] der stream wurde in der folge zur zentralen metapher für den konsum (input) und die transformation (output) dieser klein- und kleinstformatigen inhalte.
der konsum von streams ist nach dem lesen von feeds tatsächlich auch die zweite grundsätzliche, web-native kulturtechnik des rezipierens. beide muss man sich aneignen bzw. erlernen, wenn man sie nicht kann, versteht man bestimmte phänomene nicht bzw. ist mit ihnen nicht kompatibel.
imho ist das lesen von feeds die wertvollere (effizientere, optimierbarere, personalisierbarere) technik, aber das schwimmen im strom hat natürlich auch seine qualitäten […]«

Aber auch das Thema Facebook und das »social web« im Allgemeinen werden beleuchtet. Gehet hin und lest!

facebook’s gone rogue; it’s time for an open alternative

[…] facebook has gone rogue, drunk on founder mark zuckerberg’s dreams of world domination. it’s time the rest of the web ecosystem recognizes this and works to replace it with something open and distributed. […]

the evolution of privacy on facebook

[…] facebook hasn’t always managed its users’ data well. in the beginning, it restricted the visibility of a user’s personal information to just their friends and their «network» (college or school). over the past couple of years, the default privacy settings for a facebook user’s personal information have become more and more permissive […]

(how to) permanently delete your facebook account

[…] deactivating your facebook account is pretty much worthless. it’s facebook’s deceptive and very smart practice of luring you into a false sense of security by making you think you’ve removed your account, personal data and license to your ip (intellectual property) from the service when actually you haven’t.

facebook further reduces your control over personal information

«[…] facebook users would be better off and better able to express themselves if they could choose whether or not to link their interests and activities to a community, if they decide to list them.»

kurt opsahl, eff

… facebook just seized control of the internet

«[…] its claws for pulling in outside content are now razor-sharp. it’s going to be very hard for anyone to escape. […]»

mg siegler, techcrunch

facebook: considered harmful,… — or read this, think and then deactivate.

«[…] long story even longer, this is another step in the direction of evil empire for a site that was built upon the concept of privacy. i think it is high time those of us who care about our privacy to find another place to share our experiences, photos, etc with each other. […]»

the age of facebook

facebook & co: glasperlen gegen perlen
