Facebook, Google+ or MySpace?

Mon, 17 Jun 2013 13:24:19 +0000

Each morning with a cup of coffee I skim the newspaper, read my email from the previous day and review and reacting to activity on my social media and these discussion boards. Today I got started around 5:30AM and will probably finish these activities around 10 AM before starting the "real work" of AALBC.com.

Normally these thing take about two hours today was a little longer because I've placed various versions of this article on Facebook, and Google+

This morning on Facebook I noticed my wall had a "suggested post" an euphemism for a paid ad I suppose. I also had to block a couple of "people" spamming my fan page. I previously blocked people from posting on my wall, but I still have to contend with spammers posting ads in my comments. And I'm really disliking the ads that pop up prompting you do buy a gift for someone right after wishing them a happy birthday.

In the meantime, Google+ revamped their platform. I have to admit the revamped Google+ offers some real "pluses" over Facebook. Better features, cleaner more appealing design. Even the new banner was cleverly implemented.

But at the risk of sounding overly cynical, I just can't image regular folks (people without a business to promote) using both Google and Facebook. Indeed there appears to be some social media fatigue -- at least in my peer group. Older folks seems to have gotten everything they can get out of Facebook.

They have; reconnected with all their old classmates; seen enough photos; been assaulted by enough ads, eventually learning to ignore then (even though Facebook is now inserting them right into conversations); victimized by evil spammers; overwhelmed by aggressive self promoters; doled out enough "sympathy likes" to those who need them and those who are merely attention starved; grown tired of wading though everyone else's minutia while ignoring their own; and even marginally amused themselves with a game or two until bored.

I can't see very many folks (especially folks my age, 50+) leaving Facebook, overcoming a new learning curve, reacquiring friends or finding new ones, only to ultimately repeat the same crap they are already engaging in on Facebook.

What is also interesting is the almost complete absence of widespread conversation about MySpace I've had a Myspace account forever but I never use it. Does anyone here use MySpace?

Some of you may know I have a love/hate relationship with Google. Some things Goolge does really well. Others not so well. They continue to struggle with search. They are unable to (perhaps unwilling) to prevent results from favoring entities with loads of money or who use "Black Hat" tactics. This has had the result of really worsening the internet experience as web-surfers simply never discover independent website -- and indy websites are what made the internet great -- giving us alternatives to corporations. But I digress...

The biggest benefit of Goggle+ is the complete adsence of banner ads, sponsored links, and spam. It is not clear to me how much longer Google+ can continue without shoving ads in our faces?

Attempts to monetize social media through paid placement is the very thing that worsens the experience. Indeed, I'd argue it is the very thing that has worsened the entire internet experience. If Facebook, Google+ and all these social media platforms are so valuable to people, why don't they simply charge a fee and get rid of ALL the paid/sponsored/promoted content?

Which platform do you prefer, Facebook, Google+ or MySpace? Do you use all three or two if so, do you intent do so indefinitely.

TV Commericials Part of the Plan for White Genocide

Thu, 13 Jun 2013 23:43:16 +0000

I was announced today that for the first time in history of the US more white people are dying than being born.

Here is a Ceerios commercial featuring an interracial couple.

And another from Blockbuster Video

A reaction to the Blockbuster video commercial is show below (taken from Youtube). General Mills decided to disable comments on Youtube - WHIMPS! They are "bold" enough to air a commercial, they feel "reflects the consumer" but can't tolerate the reaction from those same consumers -- they care so much about.

Plan for White geNOcide that “anti-racists” implement:

Flood EVERY & ONLY White countries with MILLIONS of non-Whites
Force integrate these immigrants into White communities. This is done with the aid of Federal Laws
Push interracial relationships night and day in the media & newspaper advertisements, in ONLY White countries
Anyone that objects is called the r-word!
Then, inform the Whites of their inevitable brown future

Anti-Racist is a code for anti-White

--------

Trolling around white sites for a minute I could have just replaced "White" with "Black" and felt at home. It seems white folks feel as though the are under assault as well.

One day some genius will put 2 and 2 together and learn we are ALL under assault and it has nothing to do with the artificial term well cal "race".

HICKSON – @FOXYBROWNITSME I ADMIRE YOU FOR RECOGNIZING OTHER #FEMALE #RAPPERS, YET: WHAT SEPARATES YOU FROM THE REST OF THE LYRICISTS?

FOXY BROWN – @HICKSONHOTNESS I Separate Myself from the Others, Because I rap most times in a Trini Voice w/ Sex Appealing.

Author J.J. Murray.....

Wed, 12 Jun 2013 01:35:39 +0000

From the brief research I've done, this is a White author who is married to a Black woman and specializes in "urban" novels centered around interracial relationships.

Is anyone here familiar with his work?

His book "A Good Man" happened to catch my attention as I walked past it in the book store a few days ago.

Interesting title...and cover.

The old proverb that a picture is worth a thousand words wasn't too far off the mark!

Echelon/Prism and the Collective Stupidity of America

Tue, 11 Jun 2013 04:59:35 +0000

CBS 60 Minutes broadcast a segment about the Echelon Network back in 2000. They told about how the NSA monitors ALL electronic communications. Worldwide. It is my understanding that Echelon has been in use since the 1960s and possibly even earlier than that.

But now it's OMG! the U.S. Government is listening in on my telephone conversations with my grandmother and reading my texts and e-mails. And as usual, it's all OBAMA's fault. He's stealing our freedoms and stomping on the Constitution. Again.

Clownie bozos like Ron Paul, Hannity and all the rest know good and well that this eavesdropping business has been going on since the beginning of time.

Wake up people. Echelon Network. 60 Minutes. Google it.

And have a NICE DAY

Marcus Books the oldest continuously running bookstore in the country on the brink of closure

Marcus Books is the oldest continuously running bookstore in the country.

Marcus Books on the brink of closure
by Chris Roberts

A bad move on a loan at the height of the boom, a financial crisis in the bust that followed, and finally, foreclosure and bankruptcy forcing a family from its longtime home.

It's happened all over the United States — and now it's happened in San Francisco to the country's oldest black bookstore.

Marcus Books, the Fillmore District institution that's been in the same Victorian at 1712 Fillmore St. since 1960, must move out by June 18, following an April bankruptcy sale that saw the storied building sold for a fraction of what it is likely worth....

RESTED WATERS - KINDLE EBOOK SALE

Thu, 06 Jun 2013 22:45:12 +0000

NOW ON SALE $3.99 - RESTED WATERS by Deborah Fletcher Mello - KINDLE

Excerpted from RESTED WATERS -

Manroot Tucker looked up and down the road through scotch-hazed eyes, swaying awkwardly back and forth. The young white girl giggled excitedly as she wrapped her arms around his thick waist, guiding him toward the back of an old brick building. He giggled with her, having no clue as to what she found so funny. Together they staggered up the back fire escape, kicking an old, gray cat out of the way as they searched for her rear door. On the third floor, lights flicked off inside one apartment and Manroot could see the window shade being lifted ever so slightly as someone peered out curiously.

“Mind your business, you nosy bitch,” the girl giggled with a thick accent, flipping her hand in the window’s direction. “My man will kick your old ass if you mess with us. Won’t you, baby?” she said to him, goosing his broad backside. The window shade dropped quickly.

Manroot snickered. “I’ll take care of you, baby.”

As the young woman struggled to get a key into the door lock, Manroot leaned back against the porch railing. Although his mind was glazed, painted over by a thick coat of cheap alcohol, he could not help but appreciate the statuesque figure before him. He’d had his eye on her for some time, ever since that brief moment when she’d brushed against him brazenly, her bright red lips turned up in a seductive smile. Tonight, she had sashayed into the after-hours club, a pale peach dress clinging like wet paint to her firm body. She was a pretty girl, with long, russet-toned hair that hung in smooth spirals down her back, and deep, ocean-blue eyes that danced in the dim light. Her pale complexion was smeared with far too much pancake makeup, but Manroot was too drunk to truly care.

Now, a white girl in an after-hours club that catered to colored folks stood out like a sore thumb, and this girl had wanted to stand out. The way she’d pranced in, swaying her lean hips at each drunken fool who catcalled or whistled in her direction clearly announced her intentions. The women had eyed her maliciously, knowing that she was up to no good, but keeping their distance because she could easily bring the kind of trouble none of them needed. White girl start crying and complaining and someone’s ass was going to jail. Those with any sense crossed to the other side of the room to avoid the blue eyes whispering for attention. Those either too drunk, or too stupid, fell over themselves to get to her.

GRAYE - KINDLE AND NOOK EBOOK SALE

Thu, 06 Jun 2013 22:33:13 +0000

NOW ON SALE $3.99 - GRAYE by Deborah Fletcher Mello - KINDLE and NOOK

Excerpted from GRAYE -

Hers had been a warm kind of loving when he had let it be, her long limbs wrapped around him like a much needed blanket on a crisp January morning. The heat that rose from her skin had spun a vibrant warmth up and over him, and as he’d rested his head along the round of her breasts, he’d wanted only to snuggle deep beneath the essence of her, and melt the chill from his soul.

His need for her had become unnatural, his craving stirred by the mere thought of her flesh against his flesh. Just the whisper of her name would waken his manhood and command him to possess her. October, just before the birth of his son, had been the last time he could remember her giving herself willingly, wanting to feel his touch against her skin. Then she’d gone cold with the chill of the season and his desire had become an obsession. Refusing to accept what he saw in her eyes, he abused the love between her legs, taking what he believed to be his as she lay in apathy beneath him.

Ignoring the torment she’d been made to endure at his hands, he’d blamed others for her transformation. He’d blamed the women who’d told her she could do better, and the men who stood waiting for his back to be turned. And he blamed Tate who’d not bothered to hide his longing, always caressing her fears with a gentle smile. He’d seen Tate hug her once, wrapping himself around her hurt. And, as intensely as his friend had wished away the woman’s pain, had Graye wished away his friend.

His hand dropped to his crotch, gently cupping the limp flesh. The metal bars beneath the thin mattress pressed angry against his back. Tears dripped quietly from Graye’s eyes. His worst nightmares had come true and it was all over now. His best friend was dead and he imagined he would never again feel the warmth of his woman’s loving.
