Ok, this is somewhat scary.
I didn’t even think about the poll until after I’d clicked an option. Should I be worried that “they” know enough about me purely from information gathered autonomously to ask if I liked a spiritual sequel to KOTOR or a game about parkour better? Both of which titles I eagerly anticipate playing within the next five years? I don’t even think I’m in a gaming group. Well, maybe I am. Crap, I’m in like five of them.
I generate information for humans, not robots. I really wish Facebook had a robots.txt option.
But seriously. I answered the poll. That’s even worse! They have extracted more information from me! Soon they will derive vital information from my preference, like my secret plans to have a finger removed in order to insert an assassination blade. Airport security will start stopping everyone with four fingers and then where will I be? Not en route to stabbing evil Facebook scrubbing bots, that’s where.
In other, tangentially related, information, Nineteen Eighty-Four recently landed on my Christmas reading list. Stuff that in your hat and eat it, robot!
p.s. What happened to the last one percent, I wonder? Dead, most likely. Sad.
1984 is a good one, truly.
Social networks are evil, anyway.
What I’d really like to do is join an antisocial network,
but I don’t know anyone that uses one….
1984 is amazing. I read it last year.
Myspace-Internet trashcan that makes dumb people think they can program in HTML. (True story: some teacher asked if any of us use HTML, and 3 girls raised their hands and shouted “ON MYSPACE!”, copy-pasta does NOT make you a programming genius.)
Facebook- Full of application, causes, groups, networks, polls, grafitti, and general stuff. I don’t even click links on that sight, for fear of adding more applications.
