'Tom' took away my innocence...

Ah, it has been a long time since I have even mentioned Tom, the loveable rogue from myspace. But he thought of me today, by sending me a message telling me about the wonderful thing called the status update.



Now, let us be frank here, no one really uses myspace anymore. For me, it is just a default, a copy and paste job from blogger that keeps the account alive. Note, that myspace is all about copy and paste, not about adding new material. If I want to add a status update, I do it on twitter, like the rest of humanity. Even Gimpbook allows updates via twitter, hell, even my our own website allows us to receive updates from Twitter. Why, in this fast content, lazy user orientated net world, do I have to put in a different update just so the three people who happen to stumble upon this entry on myspace (hello guys!) do not realise that I am procrastinating on my computer.

Oh well, now I have finally updated my profile on myspace I expect to be hit by the rush of new savvy websurfers eager for the latest on CWP. And what better way to treat you all, then with a sneak peak behind the scenes...

The Hitchhiker's Guide to Facebook

This is what the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy has to say on Facebook:

'By the 24rd century, Facebook had become a sinister Orwellian attempt to control us all.

A select few continued to fight for our freedom and individuality as one by one all things and people they held dear to them were drawn in as slaves to the new world order.

Bleary-eyed they marched, zombie-like to their electronic tabernacles to throw themselves before the alters screaming "I love you America! I love you America...!"

Only
one thing could save them, a month's processing at a secure rebel facility, with only "VisageBook" to keep them company.

"VisageBook"
is the world's first inverse-social networking facility - you start off with everyone on the Galaxy as your "friend" and the winner is the first person to regain their individuality by sending an e-slap (in fact a high-voltage electric shock) to as many contacts in their addressbook, thus symbolizing the termination of
"friendship".

With in excess of 1000 million patients hardwired via implanted rectal electrodes into the network at any one time, the incentive to regain individuality is something of a matter of uttermost urgency...
thus "cured"
our patients
start on a period of supervised probation in small groups, learning to re adjust to verbal communication, special privileges are
rationed out to those show marked improvement, (for example, an
i-phone,
covered in saliva
might be given out for an hour, or for the best behaved, there is the promise of an X-box
that has been chewed by a pack of rabid badgers),
following a few weeks of probation, our patients are issued with new identities and sent out into the solar system to start new lives as painters, craftsmen, philosophers, musicians, artisans.

Most took well to their new identities,
some,
however, just chose to spend the rest of their lives lying on the ground, staring up into space and crying in awe at the wonders of the universe...'

The Facebook Whore

Yes, it is true, my profile picture is on another site - www.wachoski.com - and click here to see it.

Duly did and ended up at one of those 'dead ends' that El Maestro always warns me about.

I do despise thoseimbecilles who hack into personal accounts and inflict upon fellow associates spam and phishes and all the rest.

But what is even more idiotic are the people who click on such things. Ah, to be popular...
