  • A comment on Talk: Julia Sweeney has "The Talk"

    Jun 11 2010: I think that this talk actually should teach us how NOT to educate our children! Does everybody here by liking this talk, agree to a 8 year old girl watching pornography in the internet? I really hope this is just comedy stuff, where most of stories are made up to be funny.

    Otherwise I feel sorry about the level of consumership and vulgarism that this world has reached.

  • A comment on Talk: Eric Lewis rocks the jazz world

    Mar 8 2009: Listening to this song makes me fell like flying very fast trough my life until now. It's a good one, I like it.

    Good work

  • A comment on Talk: Evan Williams on listening to Twitter users

    Feb 28 2009: ...I will not do this, and I don't believe people should make something like the latter such "increasingly important to me day by day".

    Thank you.

    P.S. in Facebook you are allowed to write what you are doing at the moment in 160 character's, how similar is that?!?

  • A comment on Talk: Evan Williams on listening to Twitter users

    Feb 28 2009: I have also some thoughts on this twitter-thing. And of course I would like to see where it's going to be in one year! But let me share a couple of my worries. First things first, hence, I would like to say about the talk, that it was a pure advertisement of a service which not as many people as you think are using. I am to some extent disappointed that TED allows such kind of advertisement to a very special in my opinion public. Second, there is my concern of the easiness of use. This is the first web service that I have seen youtube videos, videos on their own page and now god please no, a video at TED on how to use it, something that is according to it's life giver, easy. I am just amazed from something else as well, speaking of this is the huge similarity between twitter and a service in another platform namely Facebook. Well whoever has an account there has noticed at first the "Your name' is..." field, which recently became "Your name'...". It looks like an absolute similar thing to me, which brings me on the idea that someone might have copied from the other one. Don't understand me wrong, I haven't yet researched on that matter, because I've got so drawn to write this after I watched the video that I couldn't even imagine that some people here are writing comments like "Twitter is becoming increasingly important to me day by day" by Shallie Bey. Dear, people, ladies and gentlemen, dear friends where will our life go if we have to write every 10 second what we are doing. Image the worst, if we were dying would we then still want to write to all of our friends that we are dying, would we want to remind them of this not only our last month, week, day or hour but also the saint last moments of our lives. Would we want to remind them in this last moments that they are going to lose us forever, by a service called twitter, and give them pain more day by day? Continued...
