  • As Dr. von Ahn points out  “had Time used reCAPTCHA from the beginning, this would have never happened — anon submitted *tens of millions* of votes before Time added reCAPTCHA, but they were only able to submit ~200k afterwards. And to do this, they had to resort to typing the CAPTCHAs by hand!”

    Perhaps an example of the "overshare" that begins to occur with the saturated self? Interesting to see a perspective that's against connecting through this medium.

  • Far less than 1% of visits to most sites that thrive on user-created materials are attributable as participatory, the remaining 99% are passive visits.

      Note that this is referring to VISITS, not users.   So the 80/20 rule is really not being tested here.

    Intepretation of the stats is flawed.  Just because less than 1% of VISITS to pages are not participatory does not mean that less than only 1% of USERS are participating.

  • After just a couple of hours,  the Message has decayed  from “marblecake also the game” to “mablre caelakosteghamm”.
  • I have to admit, I was a bit disappointed that 4chan couldn’t beat Ashton Kutcher to 1 million Twitter followers. They were foiled by the same technique: a Recaptcha on Twitter’s account creation (and, later, IP blocking/timeouts for new accounts). Until they can effectively crack or bypass Recaptcha, they’ll never be able to truly automate the process.

  • Within 24 hours of posting, the Pelosi Rickroll video had been viewed nearly 60,000 times and garnered some 200 comments. Viewers were stunned ("Not gonna lie, that's totally surreal"), impressed ("My faith in House Democrats has just increased tenfold"), not impressed ("It is bad enough that she is in power, and now one of her interns has to Rick Roll me.") and outraged ("CURSE YOU PELOSI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!")

Facebook social media future connected

    Zuckerberg has far reaching vision for the future of the internet, imagining that every aspect will become social in some manner. The internet on mobile devices will make serendipitous moments of "running into" people at random places commonplace because we will be able to use technology to know when we are in the same place as our Facebook friends. Though Zuckerberg and his team do acknowledge how Facebook may cause a shallowing of human relationships, they choose to ignore and look on to the vision of Facebook: a place enabling people to connect in every area of life.
