Social Networking has had a bad press

Hardly a day goes by without some horror story appearing in the press. One might almost think that the news media resent the 'new kid on the block' taking their audience and giving them news, opinion and social contact free, gratis and for nothing.

Somebody's Law

Yesterday I was planning to draw up a page on the use of eBay to go onto the 'Trading on the Internet' section of Lifes3rd phase, then when I watched the 6:00pm news on the box, up came two items on eBay.
  1. eBay had been fined some extra-ordinary sum for allowing fake Diors to be sold on the site
  2. That they were also auctioning discounted credit notes from major stores.

Well, of course, no market that wants to remain reputable can allow illegal trading on its patch - and ignorance is no defence - but what does that tell us, the punters.

No-Talents

I've got no talents - make me a star

I watched a programme on the box last night which explained that TV companies find it cheaper and easier to elevate 'no talents' to stardom than to pay real talents to produce real entertainment. The evedence of my eyes says you don't have to be good looking, and that of my ears says intellegence isn't a pre-requisit.

Well I've got no talents so why did they leave me out? I'm only moderately ugly and my family frequently comment on my dimness. I qualify!

Some of us don't give personal details on the internet!

So don't...
You're right to be wary about giving out personal details to perfect strangers. So:
  • Use a suitable nick-name or nom-de plume for your dealings on the site
  • Set up, or use an existing temporary e-mail address to keep your personal address clear of unwanted material.
