what facebook does

-
decoding the obvious is more challenging  - 

facebook compels a way of life. It is visual. It is a series of likes. it rapidly disseminates ideas and notions. in a world that lacks shelves to put up the glory of lives - facebook provides the rack. it is dual in gender - while for women the past is the future and for men the future is the present - for facebook both tenses demand equal weight-age.   

it is breathing dock of life as it unfolds. it forces minds to think in glib. while it provides a lot - it demands a bit.  
  1. is one of the most visual ideas to come to life
  2. is a platform that elevates - levitates and gravitates
  3. collapses the distance between the stars and loosers
  4. the voyeur seems like the aware
  5. is personality and perception management 
  6. digital footprinting - states the obvious 
  7. jogs memory both ways - past and future 
  8. organizes lives - a live flip-book with moving and connecting visuals (parallel albums - linking albums - who else)
  9.  legitimizes visual voyeurism - it is ok to look into friends of friends 
  10. makes people live their life in capturable moments - moment to moment - the emphasis on sharable experiences
  11.  a comparative progress card of life 
  12. makes human life a series of consumption based - been where done what  (the new t shirt)
  13. confers more status - acquaintances become friends - family seems connected 
like facebook this piece is a wip

Swifties vs Ticketmaster

 Swifties vs Ticketmaster  The un-suspecting Swifties had a moment as they experienced the destructive power of a live event and ticketing monopoly firsthand. Eager to procure pre-sale tickets for a live-event staged by one of the most loved and followed musicians of our time, Swifties were let down in millions.  Swifties are sharp, smart and skilled social media stalwarts. They are die-hard loyalists and amazingly knit together. They can hate as much as they can love.  Source:  https://www.reddit.com/r/TaylorSwift/comments/bhd5ko/taylor_swifties_4eva/ Endless e-queues that started at midnight, followed by  sky-high ticket prices for group bookings were just the beginning. Triggering a similar reaction, just like the one in America.  Swifties and the swift mindset are wreaking havoc against a lesser felt monopoly.  Legions  of new anti-monopolists are being birthed through out SE-Asia.    No creative work is complete. Creativity wins when people give in. Look at a creative in any field

understanding the under 19s

IN YOUTH WE HOPE & IN AGE WE EXPECT  across the multiple sporting events and initiatives unfolding across the world these days, there is one consistent thread. the world is getting ready to welcome a new set of champions. At the Australian open, in the winter olympics, in the U23 AFC, or the under 19 world cup of cricket a new bunch of athletes are taking centre-stage. A new crop of countries are producing the latest champions. A whole new sports culture is emerging from kids coming from mixed families. What is surprising is ... the reputation these kids come with.  The future is interesting because it looks different from the present. Countries often invest in future sports initiatives to avoid the mistakes of the past. investments are made, foreign coaches are sought, facilities are improved and diets are changed only to place an athlete on a podium.  Today development and training has followers. Even before these athletes start achieving, they develop huge fanbases. If in

BARD still BARF

So Bard is made available to simpletons. So I asked Bard to write a post on what happens if a smart person would use Linkedin and Airbnb as a merged platform ... draft 1 was crap ... here is draft 2 and draft 3 which were same as draft 1 LinkedIn and Airbnb are two of the most popular online platforms in the world. LinkedIn is a social networking site for professionals, while Airbnb is a home-sharing platform. While these two platforms may seem unrelated at first, there are actually a number of ways that they can be combined to create new and innovative experiences. One way to combine LinkedIn and Airbnb is to use LinkedIn to find potential hosts for your Airbnb listing. When you're looking for a place to stay, it's always a good idea to choose a host who is trustworthy and reliable. LinkedIn can be a great way to vet potential hosts, as you can see their work history, education, and other professional information. This information can give you a good sense of who the host i
