Delete Your Friends in Social Networks

Tuesday, October 13th, 2009

fb1. Delete Your Friends in Social Networks is a new social action hosted by Cometos.

2. It is dedicated to the dehumanizing process propagated by social networks.

3. Large numbers of friends which everybody seeks to gain are targeted to break real social relation among people.

4. The true act of communication is possible only between small groups of people, communicating in immediate way.

5. Social networks could be used just for exchanging blank information among family members, true friends in real life and for business purposes.

6. Social networking is more like playing with people than relating with them. Social networking is sharing, downloading, uploading, resharing, commenting, reacting (it is better to react inadequately – simulating your real opinion in the direction of “everything is ok” and “I like it”), acting, writing, posting etc. Real relations are first of all LISTENING and then STATING your OPINION. And, of course, the true social contact must be audible, visible, touchable, smellable and sensible in any sense in both directions (between two communicating sides) at same time and in short distance.

7. Social networking unifies all people. They become nano elements of global network of one relation.

8. “One relation” means, that communication process has no moments of crisis or flashes of rise. It is superficial, irresponsible, artificial, fragile and blank.

9. Social networking is oriented to one direction. A man is like transmitter constantly and unstoppably posting blank messages about himself. He does not make distinction between valuable information and invaluable.

10. A social networker does not realize that only one type of information is important:

a) information, which is announced and produced by one or a few people;

b) information, which is presented after some time of working on it;

c) information, which is offered for the audience after analytical, deductional, inductive or after any other method of thinking about some kind of material.

11. Social networking takes much time. Sending and responding to the blank information is a long and troublesome work.

12. For social networking it is very important to take part in different affairs as often as you can and to respond to different types of information as often as possible. It shows the level of your social networking abilities.

My Sky Status by Lufthansa

Monday, October 12th, 2009

lufthansaMySkyStatus 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?
