MySkyStatus service by Lufthansa was created for constant auto-update of your Twitter and Facebook accounts about traveling position with Lufthansa flights.

I can name this service like this: “How can I generate more content, when I do not have possibilities to do it or when I am tired to do it?” Lufthansa comes to help you! At least when you are traveling and can not tweet something by yourself.

Again, it is the question about the amount of content needed to be exposed about you and your business for better status of social networking and for better acceptance for the search engines. The web is organized not in the direction of quality but in the direction of quantity.

Lufthansa sends one message per hour. Try to imagine: you get for example ten almost identical messages from your friend who has a flight for about 10 hours. What is the quality and sense of this kind of message? Lets go forward. It is completely possible to attach sensors to all things in your room: to the bed (when you sit or get up it sends a message), to the table (it sends messages about when and what you are eating / drinking), to the ground (information about your movements in the room) etc. Only when you sit by your computer, you may do UPDATES by yourself. All other time it is done for you by tens of sensors.  What is this information about? The most important message could be, that someone became dead on the bed. But will somebody notice this update among millions of tweets like “I moved from kitchen to bathroom.” ?

Well, I would really like this service by Lufthansa in the case it was created to make a fun about the concept of frequently updated content. But in fact it just helps people to “communicate” without making a break. The content which  Lufthansa sends in stead of us becomes colourless and unnecessary.

For example, I have only 10 my best friends. Everyone is at home. Each of them has just three sensors in the room sending a short post every half of an hour. How much messages I’ll be recieving in one hour?60. And per day? Or if I have 100 (it’s a very small number for the real social networker) friends?

1. Our common life (not in electronic space) ir passing by insensibly.

2. Our life on internet is just passing by.

3. What am I talking about? The question is about archiving of online content. Do you save constantly your comments, your tweets, your wall’s posts, your blog’s posts which you write unnumebered times every day? What about uploaded photos, audio and video files?

Google announced Google Data Liberation Front together with a new website about a week ago. The point of the new programme is freedom to act with your personal data stored in Google applications. You may became incognito for Google from now on grabbing out all your data recorded in AdWords, Blog, GMail etc. Can we find something interesting behind this nice – from the first glance – twist made by Google?

1. The idea seems very humane. The data becomes liberated and owner is free to do with it whatever he wants.

2. But there is another question, which is incomparably more important than the matter in itself: does liberated data mean, that it still remains personal? Ooops.

“The Wall Street Journal” yesterday announced about U.S. government’s plans to suggest new rules for internet service providers (ISP) to treat all web traffic equally. These rules are based on limited consumers’ freedom using their computers and cellphones by ISPs, when watching videos, listening to music or participating  in other legal services that require bandwidth. There are Google, Youtube and other internet companies on one side and on the other there are internet providers like AT&T or Comcast.

The thing is, that ISPs can freely manipulate with different internet services and limit their accessability for their clients. The services become slower and do not satisfy the users. According to Federal Communications Commission web traffic must be treated equally without blocking or slowing it from selected sources.

1. Creative SEO is much more comparable to a marketing campaign than to a technical way of optimising your website for the search engines.

2. Technical tools do not have much sense nowadays.

3. To grab attention of the internet audience you have at first to spend some time here and to feel how different things work.

4. Without a feeling what you can do, everything you create will be condemned to the coincidence. I mean the success will not be ruled by you.

Internet sources are full of information about Twitter security problems. Someone get connected to Twitter admin’s panel. Here is a screenshot:

iPhone makes a start in the field of intelligent object recognition. Citation from Mashable: “A patent called ID App does just that; it recognizes an object based on visuals (through the iPhone’s camera), a RFID reader or through GPS, and then fetches the data from related databases. I like to imagine all this happening in real-time, with a layer of visual information superimposed on the actual camera image, but in the beginning it’ll probably just take you to a related Wikipedia (Wikipedia) page. Still, it’s a start.”

The video shows a Metro train operator text messaging during operation. Citation from Youtube: “It looks like he’s sleeping, but he is actually holding a Blackberry between his legs. The train is moving under automatic control but no one is watching out for what is in front of it! Track workers are frequently out walking the tracks, and if there had been any present, no one would have seen them in front of this train.”
