so.cial definitions:
Adjective: relating to or designed for activities in which people meet each other.
Noun: an informal social gathering, especially one organized by the members of a particular club or group.
_______
Well it seems that being a ‘social media’ user just reached another low. In past week, both Path and foursquare split their apps in 2 – without any consultation – or advance warnings.
_______
In the case of Path, particularly aggravating – is that all private messages were deleted and moved to ‘ephemeral’ aka lasting 24h – and msg to go through ‘other’ app Talk.
Never was offered to do preemptive back-up. The loss is terrible. Many important discussions – some critical were tossed out without any regards to ‘us’. I feel deeply betrayed. And I am not alone.
_______
Tested install and guess what? App asked (again?!?!?) to have access to my Contacts – with a meager reassurance that ‘they would never contact them before letting me know about it.’
Yeah sure.
(And it seems like the 800k$ fine didn’t ram much wisdom.)
_______
Even ‘Premium’ members got no ‘special’ treatment. Everyone and everything wiped out. So much for respecting their mission of providing a secure private network where to have ‘meaningful conversations’.
Dave Morin (ex-Facebook) and team have dropped the ball in a majestic way – alienating their loyal ‘supporters’ (for in the end – who cares for stickers really).
Little do they know – I won’t renew (and many others won’t either) – a sustantial drop of income is to expect.
_______
As for foursquare – it’s simple and drastic: I couldn’t check-in anymore. Period. Like it or not I HAD to download and start using Swarm.. (because they are preparing a ‘new’ 4sq). No option. Get going girl.
That logo color reminds me of Gowalla which was swallowed by Frackbook – and did the same to all their users. We were dumped out of the service overnight.
_______
I am hereby solemnly and immediately requesting a rewording of Social media to $ocial media.

Time to worry! It’s complicated: Facebook’s history of tracking you. Facebook is launching an aggressive technique to track people across the Web by Julia Angwin.
Even if you are logged out!
_______
Ghostery has a Chrome + Firefox + IE (seems to rem) + Safari + Opera extensions to use to see who is tracking you and to configure what / who you want to block.

We are in the business of creating the future. Technology unprecedented explosion of advances is shaping the landscape – in fact, preparing the playing field, for us.
But we, creatives of the world, are the ones populating it. Therefore, we must take full responsibility of what we will cast and broadcast.
Only us, can insure that visual media and design culture does not become a huge consumerism wasteland.
Let’s make sure that that one idea at a time, we affect the world, our world.. for the better.
