For a second I was surprised to see it gone already… then I checked out who got it, and lo and behold, it is me!
To me facebook is “the big idle”… like VIRB, but with a flood of stupid app requests and without the sexy.
VIRB allows you to change your URL any time you wish btw… and hey, why not, it’s not like you need leet skillz or extreme servers to do that, lol, it’s just a decision, just a variable… so fuck myspace urls and facebook names, that’s just artificial scarcitiy to make a turd look more desirable… then again facebook and myspace enforce the www. prefix, so they’re internet retards by definition anyway and VIRB wins.
VIRB.
byte, your post made me think of something, perhaps you find it interesting what trent recently had to say about these notwork site’s
http://forum.nin.com/bb/read.php?9,731489 , or maybe not.
I actually read that post in an article linked to on twitter … on my ipod touch
hah touché…
Nooooooooo!!
Does this mean hell froze over?
I live in a small hick town in Canada… and I can tell you first hand… hell freezes over every winter
Well. Marc Shake is it everywhere else. So this sums up the full social-network overkill:
DJ Mixes
Ma Space
FaceBook
Twitter
Virb
and several other networks like last.fm, nitestar, ctg, djlist et al…
I figured if I’m dancing with the devil, I might as well dance well.
Doesn’t look pretty in the streets either… Tehran is very troubled these days , I hope it would all end ASAP.
People didn’t feel how it really began. A week before the election, supporters of one of the candidates started celeberating their favorite candidate’s victory in the streets of populated cities in the form of huge carnivals! When he lost, those carnivals turned into huge demonstrations, and later hell broke loose, and sorrily some lost their lives.
Demonstrators claim election fraud, but it’s really hard to tell, because both main candidates have many supporters among people. The lost candidate has announced that he is even ready for ‘martyrdom’, and this strongly encourages his supporters to continue the protest.
The future is uncertain.
Hi Ashkan, I’m not into the Facebook thingie, so I’m checking this thread just because I would like to know more about this iranian chaos. What I would like to understand is if it is true that the candidate who is supposed to have lost (don’t ask me the name, iranian ones are too difficult ) is really as innovative as our media would like us to believe. Are mediatic representations such as “the iranian Obama” totally bogus?
in case you support Akhmadinejad, please try to be objective
If there wasn’t twitter, I would not even know what happens in Iran. The “obama”-guy is some sort of democratic although you cannot certainly compare this to “western” democracy as far as I am informed. But the people over there are fighting desperate for their rights and I really hope US and Russia stay out of this conflict because interogation would make things even worse over there.
My full support to all iranians who want to improve their situation.
Oh, thats why I love teh interwebz. You have “fellows” from countries you will never ever see, perhaps.
First of all I must say that I didn’t vote for any of the chief rivals, and I internally hate politics, so be sure that I’m totally neutral.
I hadn’t heard the term ‘the Iranian Obama’, although it may fit some of Mousavi’s promises, he is a reformist. Mousavi is very innovative and smart in managing the protest he leads, like encouraging his supporters to go to the rooftops each night at 10pm and shout ‘Allah-o Akbar’ which is an Islamic motto meaning ‘God is greater than to be described.’ (don’t forget that they are at least 13,000,000) along with many other ways. The fact is Mousavi hasn’t been present in the political scene in Iran since the Iran-Iraq war, but he has very powerful supporters among Iran’s political headmen, and they have chosen silence these days. Many of things Mousavi had promised seemed impractical due to the structure of today’s Iranian government.
Ahmadinejad has many supporters among the poor, the traditional and religious people, clerics, and the most important of all, the leader of Iran. Both sides have points of strength and weakness, and both have good and bad ideas. What Iran actually experiences today is the clash of two huge groups of people, with opposite ideologies and aims. Each group seek their utopia in the promises of a candidate. Those who their favorite candidate has won are satisfied and calm, but the other group who support reformation are strongly protesting.
Don’t forget that Iran (like many other eastern countries) is a colorful country with different cultures, ideologies and thoughts. If anything was free in Iran, you would see half of the people nude and the other half covered all the body but eyes in the streets!
As an Iranian, I also hope whatever happens at the end would be the best for all Iranians. And I don’t think that any foriegn government would interfere in the current situation, it is totally unwise.
Right now the city air is filled with the sound of ‘Allah-o Akbar’…
