When she crossed over, she was just a ship. But when she came back... she was bullshit!

Well, that kind of ties into an ongoing controversy over pseudonyms and FB games: People are getting their profiles deleted from FB because they're not using their real names and playing games.  Mostly because they don't want to spam their real friends with game solicitations, so they create profiles just for games that have only friends that are also FB gamers.  FB and Zynga don't like it because it undercuts the viral marketing.

You don't necessarily want all of your social activities to run into each other.  In the real world, my bowling league buddies may be my RL friends or co-workers, or people I know only from the bowling alley.  On FB, Zynga wants me to ping all of my coworkers and relatives with come-ons for Farmville, it's as if wearing my league shirt to work and home was a requirement to have access to the lanes.

Just got an email from Diaspora, the decentralised social network (peer to peer) that was going to save us all from Facebook and Google: https://joindiaspora.com

They're asking for $25 donations :(

Time for a second round of Kickstarter.

Diaspora co-founder dead, possible suicide
