Re: Should Facebook Allow Aliases?

I agree with Jon Nichols. Aliases lead to marketers. I understand that people like their privacy, but then don't create social networking profiles.

Re: How Do You Spend Time on Facebook?

Christine — Thu, 29 Nov 2007 12:18:08 -0000

Lately my time has been spent playing Texas Hold'Em and Scrabulous. But most of the time I browse my friends' information, send messages, and update my status. I don't think the Facebook design has anything to do with the amount of time I spend on the site.

Re: PSA: How to Respond to a Facebook Wall Post

I am so glad you posted this. People writing on their own walls annoys me. Mainly because no one did that when Facebook first came to my school (back when it was still only open to colleges) - we all knew the wall was for others to write on. For some reason, new Facebook users just don't get it.

Re: Who is a Public Figure?

The law is going to have to change. As more and more high school students join Facebook and MySpace, and kids as young as 4 or 5 are learning to use computers, eventually everyone will be considered a "public figure" by the current definition.

As a side note, it's libel, not liable.

Re: Is Scrabulous Going Bye Bye?

I'm playing Scrabulous right now! It was the first game application I added. I spend at least half my time on Facebook playing Scrabulous games - with coworkers, friends from high school, my fiance, even my little brother.

Hasbro should absolutely acquire Scrabulous instead of shut it down. It would be much better for their reputation to acquire the popular app than to shut it down and make users angry. After all, these are probably people that play the board game Scrabble. I know I do.

Re: Boycott Regal Cinemas: Teen Arrested for Recording 20 Second Movie Clip

I agree with John who wanted to know why all the trailers and other clips that were released weren't enough to show her brother. There was tons of footage available. Her 20 second clip was probably among the footage.

While the gun on a plane analogy was pretty dumb, I get the point. If you know it's illegal to record a movie, why would you ever take out a video camera?

Frank - have you ever been to New York City? People sell bootleg copies of every movie you can imagine. They're only in business because people continue to buy them, even with their crappy resolution, poor sound, etc.

I think Jack has had the single most sensible comment thus far.

The Internet is supposed to be about free expression. Targeting people with opinions different than your own makes you the idiot.

Re: Katie Holmes in talks to play Wonder Woman?!

Christine — Wed, 15 Aug 2007 20:21:33 -0000

Didn't any of these people see Batman Begins? Katie's career peaked with Disturbing Behavior. Kate Beckinsale...now that's a good candidate for Wonder Woman.

Anyone who didn't know who NPH was without you spelling it out needs to be kicked in the head. Hard.

Re: SAW Marathon Screenings in Select Cities on October 25th

I'm absolutely there. The Saw creators truly know their audience.
