DISQUS

This is quite a proposition that the FTC has put upon us. Looking at this from multiple angles, it definitely leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Like many rules, and regulations I agree with the spirit behind it. But the implementation is what scares me, and I have my extreme doubts about if the FTC is adequate enough to do a good job doing it. In essence, I don't think the ends will justify the means.

When reading about this, I couldn't help but think about the Patriot Act and how big... 'Big Brother' is becoming. Looking at the Patriot Act in its most simple form would be this, "Allows the government to obtain information to supercede harm against the US". Ends up not being quite that simple though does it?

I also think that guidelines such as this further the point that there is no accountability for our common senses anymore. This is just my personal belief, but if I buy a product based solely on one review then the blame falls on me for trusting that lone person for my purchase. In the end, I think the fakers who are just doing it for the money can be weeded out. By us. That's the joy of the internet, is that the community generally drives the success, not forceful regulation from the FTC.

Well it's always good to see your traffic spike. Even if your database is having problems keeping up. I had this happen to me on my wii blog, when I did live coverage of E3. My traffic tripled the average just on one day. Talk about wanting to catch lightning in a bottle

I don't see how the mobile market is a prime target for marketing. With TV and Internet ads, you are advertising to people who are using 15"+ sized screens. With the internet people are usually in search mode, and are more apt to click on adverts. But with the mobile industry, people have a lot less screen space, and less apt to put up with advertising on their screens. I know I don't want to have to click around, or scroll around images that are more than likely taking up 100% of my screen.

i have to admit i was definitely one of the proud facebook users, back when it was college students exclusively... once anyone could join, it kind of ruined the experience for me...i think networking sites are going to be like kid's cartoon shows, they'll always be here but i think the popularity of certain sites will fluctuate as the internet crowd changes

Well in a world where most people don't know who the vice president is, nothing surprises me. You would think Google is just common knowledge by now with pretty much everyone. But here in Kentucky you'd be surprised how many people are still running 56k *shudder*, let alone what search engine to use.

Oh and way to go WKY...had them upsetting Drake in my bracket, but what a game..can't help but love seeing a game end on a last second shot
