Facebook VS. Twitter, which is better?

To really tell the story of either of these worlds, one has to consider what “community” really is. Some people confuse community with their surroundings geographically because it is easy to see those events as places found familiar and thus comfortable. Through my experience I have observed little ‘clicks’ emerge in many social situations going all the way back to preschool and church as a very small child. Through the years I noticed how some of these groups arise and fall and the mechanisms involved when an idea is realized and starts to spread throughout the community or as I choose to see it, the network one spreads thought through.
So with the notion where all communities are really networks of thought and ideology, I approach facebook and twitter, ready for anything. This sounds like an experience broadening exercise to bring new horizons to cross.
So, here I am, reading my daily news feed, sorting through the random post looking for that enriching post that sparks my excitement and gets me fired up over something. Most of the time though, on either facebook or twitter the random out weighs the enlightening enriching comment. That being said, once I mastered control over the features needed to block game requests and privacy settings that seem to change daily without notice, a steady stream of news, interesting to me, began to ensue with juicy tidbits on my favorite politician, or cause, or underground activity within the hacking community, leaving me with a feeling of being more informed than the random next guy.
So, is facebook better than twitter or the other way around? For me they are two different avenues that bring the same roads together. The difference, that might make one better than the other is subject to the information (news) you want your reader to provide.
The #tags (hash tags) in twitter, making following a given topic trivial, is only so good, since people from other networks aren’t usually aware of what a #tag is and what they mean, but that appears to be changing.
Facebook, having more features, as suggested before is useful once one does master it’s settings, but just as with the hash tags, the education curve is the key.

As with most things, you are likely to get out of it what you put in.


Jet Pack Anyone?

Did you know a jet pack can be purchased for roughly $300,000 today?


Another Adobe Zero-Day? Noooo!

In a random comment from a fan-boy mac user indicating their mac couldn’t be hacked, I chuckled reflecting on the first to fall in pwn2own, but rather than antagonize him, I mentioned Adobe and reminded him which platform it runs on.


UCoD Facelift?

The old UCoD site has a new breath of life. We have changed the format over to a wiki style, project site. Given the notion behind the site, it could prove to be an interesting information portal. www.ucod.com I guess we will see what COICA does, once it starts growing.


Is Spyder a Buddhist ?

I was asked if I was a Buddhist the other day and I responded, “I am nothing” and mumbled almost under my breath, “well 99.3% anyway” and now go on to say, for one to understand my views in general, you would have to understand DP. Digital philosophy (DP) is one type of digital physics


Explaining the Cat

Schrödinger’s Cat: A cat, along with a flask containing a poison and a radioactive source, is placed in a sealed box shielded against environmentally induced quantum decoherence. If an internal Geiger counter detects radiation, the flask is shattered, releasing the poison that kills the cat. The Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics implies that after a


Abstraction

As we would desire, with the support of loving family of friends, once again we have prevailed the storm life has considered handing us. We probably could not begin to express how valuable certain individuals have been to us with just words, but I do believe it is worth noting, my light, my friend and


Anallingustic Style: E-Prime

Wouldn’t it be grand if one could go about any given day with abundant resolve embodying necessary will to greet the inevitable blank stare when the query went beyond the foundation of mutual language to suit the need of the abstraction that manifests events in such a way where the observer is resigned to the


A little on perspective. Dedicated to my Wife.

My wife raised an eyebrow when I said to her that I am seeing things, now a days, as shapes and events rather than a picture’s snapshot of a moment and yet exactly as a snapshot of a moment. She has had to deal with a lot of these types of eye brow raising events


UTE Warbirds and Expo Annual Event Promo on Fox News

A friend of mine, Gordon, came into the shop and asked me if I would come out and help support this weekend’s UTE Warbirds/Expo, Fox News, promo event by bringing a few of my birds to the model-port I wasn’t sure. We are talking about getting up extra early to be there by 5:30am and
