New features

Thursday, 13. August 2009, 05:57:57

"As some of you noticed, My Opera was taken down today for a short period of time to add some new features. We now communicate with the popular social networking services Facebook and Twitter. You can push updates, let everyone know what you are doing right now and My Opera will automatically let the world know when you've written a new blog post or created a new photo album with your favorite pictures. :cool: We've also integrated these two services with our very own activity feed."

I could not care less.
I don't have any Facebook account and after some thinking I don't understand what Twitter is good for. Like "let everyone know what you are doing"...
If you are interested, I was in the toilet.
Do you want more information about this morning toilet session?.
Maybe it is because I left school sooo long ago.

not true, I'm at university and I don't have any of that social networking sh** either (just good, plain, old ICQ :D)

I was thinking of teenagers. My theory is teenagers are difficult to understand by older people (and vice-versa). And maybe that is the reason why I don't understand that stuff like Facebook or Twitter.
I was a teenager in the first '80s so my memories are probably useless to get the contemporary trends.

Of course there is still the problem with all those "adults" I don't understand either... :smile:

Here is the 'other' reaction I was speaking of. :D

Lorenzo Celsi 13. August 2009, 16:07

Reaction? What reaction? Actually I am seeing ZERO innovation these days. Only an huge pile of marketing crap. And marketing is like the Force, it is strong over weak minds. Maybe this all goes back to all those people who can't use the computer for basic tasks like resizing a picture but are told they can go "multimedia" and "social". Besides of course the ridiculous thing of being "social" in itself.

"If you are interested, I was in the toilet." - :lol: It would be the most original status in FB or Twitter! :lol:

Lorenzo Celsi 15. August 2009, 21:28

Yeah right, like I am the only who spends some time in the toilet every morning... My point is what do you write about your "status"? How many people can write "I am composing a new symphony" or "I am perfecting the theory of relativity"?

:lol: :lol: :lol:

This confirms the point, you aren't the average social network user. You aren't the average Internet user either. You are one of the ancient Internet users who were mostly people with enough knowledge to make the Internet instead of just passively use it.

I don't need Twitter too. But an example of a wonderful usage I once read:
tweet: I need a cheap second hand couch
answer: You can have mine for free

Twitter can also be used instead of a phone call:
private tweet: will be at your place around 3. are you at home?
answer: you are welcome

A Dutch minister is twittering to show people what his job is about. The Prima Minister does not like it though.:lol:

The main point is to show that you are busy, that you have fun, that you have plans, that you have things to do...I suppose. To show off in other words. That's why FB and Twitter have succeeded!

Lorenzo Celsi 23. August 2009, 17:47

How sad.

But the truth...and nothing but the truth
