Facebook Unveils 'Modern Messaging System': Instant Reactions

(Nov. 15) -- "Seriously guys, we are not trying to destroy e-mail, but if that happens, oh well," was the underlying message of today's Facebook media event in San Francisco. Mark Zuckerberg and company introduced what Team Facebook is calling a "modern messaging system" based on three key features: seamless messaging, conversation history and a social inbox. The new service incorporates chat, SMS and e-mail functions to allow people to "share however they want to share," according to Facebook engineer Andrew Bosworth. Although much of the buzz surrounding the event came from the confirmed ...

Social Networking Goes Even More Global: Beats E-Mail, TV

(Oct. 11) -- Internet users in China, Latin America and the Middle East are engaged in more social networking that those in the U.S. and Japan, according to a new survey from British research firm TNS. The study surveyed nearly 50,000 Web users in 46 countries to determine what activities were most prevalent among Internet users in established Web-using countries and growing Web-using countries, referred to as "rapid growth markets." For example, Middle Eastern, Latin American and Chinese users, considered rapid growth markets, put in 5.2 weekly hours on social networking sites and four ...

Top 5 Most Dubious Claims in Beloit College's Class of '14 'Mindset List'

(Aug. 17) -- Every year since 1998, Wisconsin's Beloit College has released its "Mindset List" with the stated intention of informing college professors of the cultural touchstones of the incoming class. It is arguably more successful at making the youth seem like snotty, self-centered egomaniacs who know nothing of anything outside of their immediate experience, and professors like dusty geezers painfully struggling to keep in touch with what's cool today. The 2014 edition, out today, makes 75 separate claims about today's college freshmen, running the gamut from "Few in the class know how ...

Saudi Arabia, UAE to Block BlackBerry Services

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (Aug. 1) -- The UAE said Sunday it will block key features on BlackBerry smart phones, citing national security concerns because the devices operate beyond the government's ability to monitor their use. Neighboring Saudi Arabia quickly indicated it planned to follow suit. The decision could prevent hundreds of thousands of users in the Mideast country from accessing e-mail and the Web on the handsets starting in October, putting the federation's reputation as a business-friendly commercial and tourism hub at risk. Blackberry data is encrypted and routed overseas, ...

Two Weddings and an E-mail

As some may have heard, Chelsea Clinton is getting married on Saturday in a multimillion-dollar wedding. People have said the event is excessive, especially in these tough times. Others, the U.K. Guardian's, Paul Harris, observe, after the family scandals she endured, Chelsea deserves an extraordinary wedding, and still others react with a yawn. For a few, the yawn morphs into a sneer. In the comment section of the Guardian, Harris was upbraided for his sycophancy: "You write informed pieces about Detroit and then end up writing this dreadful crap about the Clinton daughter. Were you hoping ...

@Reagan.com Peddles 'the Only Conservative E-mail'

(July 30) -- Does the simple act of sending an e-mail benefit liberal political agendas? According to Michael Reagan, eldest son of the 40th president of the United States, if you use one of the most popular providers, the answer is likely an emphatic "yes." And he wants to sell fellow conservatives an alternative. Reagan, who was adopted by Ronald Reagan and his first wife, Jane Wyman, is a former radio talk show host who works as an author and conservative political activist. Earlier this week, he took to his website to launch his latest crusade/venture: Sam Stewart, AOL Michael Reagan, ...

Manhattan Real Estate Email War Becomes Big News

Manhattan Real Estate Email War Becomes Big News

For real-estate madness, nothing matches New York City, where neighbors are less likely to welcome you to your new home with a pie and a smile than a lawsuit. The city's co-op buildings -- occupants own shares of a building rather than a specific unit -- are the scenes of worst offenses, and today the New York Times today provides a behind-the-scenes look at a tenant war in one such Upper East Side building, centering on an email exchange between tenants Eliot Hess (a diminutive, ex-hippie PR firm owner) and Terry Borg and Thomas Pienkos (who both work for Donald Trump). The Times quotes an ...
