[...] of fire for simply being in line with Zucks’ vision of Facebook and the internet: open. But I see where Zucks is heading (an article I wrote back in May 2010 which sparked a bit of a discussion in the comments section). [...]

Facebook is not friendly to warn or to direct people about their changes of privacy which they need to educate the users the risk of what they are signing up for. What people are upset was they allow 3rd party to use their resources without the consent of the users.

I would like to title this article, ‘Zuck it up Mark!’:

Back to the issue, one death is already enough, we don’t need a holocaust to start the ball rolling

You guys should watch ‘Band of Brothers’ and the currently showing ‘The Pacific’.

The basis for Human Rights today is brought about by what happened in World War 2. Sadly, sometimes its being misused for personal gain. Iraq, Google vs China, China’s Sweat Shop, Industrialization, South Africa…all these being argued as so debatable.

lol i have no motive in writing this blog entry! it’s just an outlet for me to vent, honestly.

if ppl find value in it, it’s all good. comments are great cos it’s gd discussion for people who read it n participate.

but getting people to visit my blog is a secondary or possibly even a tertiary concern to me. i have nothing to gain of it. no ads, no sponsored reviews / advertorials, n i no longer attend blogger events (unless as a favour to a friend). see?

blogging, for me, is not what it is for many others…

Then again, Daphne can always play the Devil’s card by purportedly writing such an article. Razlan, its one of the strategy of bringing people to comment on your blog.

To be frank, I also disagree with Daphne on the Apple’s stand to remove Flash from their OS but that happened in the tweets.

Caution though, it can always back-fire.

I am thankful that we have the mutual understanding. The information in this discussion is of course limited to those who does not read the comments.

For that, they can’t be helped in this case.

@ Daphne – All things considered, that is a show of respect from Jason at the “authority” that you have. He has certain principles and beliefs in this issue, and when your post clashes with them, he voiced out. This is a healthy discussion, one which shows both side of the issues.

It is now up to the silent readers (you!) to decide what is best for them.

Now I wish my blog posts have such exciting discussion! Then again, what do you expect from a personal blog, right? Haha.

@daphnemaia, trendsetter. Whoa!

Heh. It doesn’t mean I don’t understand it. I chose to highlight what is most relevant and of most concern to most people.

Auto opt-in is nothing new on the web. Not just practiced on Facebook.

And you overestimate my influence, surely! I work in Social Media but my blog doesn’t have the kind of traffic that you speak of.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with what I’ve written. Like I said, writers use their way with words to their advantage. I’m a writer too, and this is used to my advantage because it highlights what bothers me (about what people have been saying on the internet). That’s all.

You may not have used the word “ignorant” but ur words sure tell me that you think I am. No offense taken, however. That’s an opinion, and everyone is entitled to an opinion.
