Tech: Tweeter: An online YouTube devestatingly satirizing the Tweet Monster

I've been considering joining Tweeter and/or Facebook . Regarding the now controversial Facebook, I do think I have some sort of affiliation, as I was solicited by a recentlly-deceased friend to be listed as one of his many online friends, redundant tho I was. I think I had to join in some way to comply with the friend's wish, but don't remember setting up my own page there -- and then perhaps, just as redundantly, soliciting his official registration to the hypothetical page.

Facebook has recently been accused of strongarming its members. And I've skipped over many online complaints against Tweeter, not even reading them past the headline, because I don't want to waste time. But this YouTube is devastating in its satire of Tweeter as simply a colossal waste of time for those who get addicted (all too many of us) to ithe "social network." Yet, there are many colossor wasters of time related to the Internet and personal compjuting thereon. Yes? Coud even ouTube have spawned its own addicts?, for instance.

Tech: Google/Newspaper: If Google were a newspaper ...

An interesting tech question pops up at Wire Report which is dedicated to Canadian communications regulatory, policy & industry intelligence (May20,2k10):

If Google was a newspaper how would it operate? I don’t think Google wants to own a newspaper but a Google-y newspaper would see itself as a platform. And that is a platform for many things. It’s a platform to gather and share news, to report news, to sell ads, to distribute … In fact, Google already is that because you can use all the tools of Google to create the value of a newspaper today. You can use Blogger to publish, Adsense to make money, and you can put up maps and videos and all kinds of things. So in that sense Google already is that. It’s a platform.

refWrite uses Google alot, but far from exclusively to suggests longterm what a reformationally-committed somewhat-daily newspaper coud look like, rather. Serious model? -- perhaps if you don't leave out the the rampant tongue-in-cheek
