Chatroulette.com allows users to join conversations and share webcams with randomly chosen people. Because of the obvious potential for misuse, the technology is expected to prompt some form of universal online identity confirmation process. That is, it will be used as an excuse to completely destroy internet anonymity.

Coming to facebook soon!!!

Scientists claim that facebook profiles are a good indication of our actual personality in spite of its being stripped of our idiosyncracies and imperfections. The study claims that people are not as concientious and narcissitic as originally thought and thus facebook is an optimal medium for slave communication (surveillance).

Two conclusions were drawn from the study:

'First, it allows profile owners to let others know who they are and, in doing so, satisfies a basic need to be known by others.

(i.e. a cost effective remedy for alienation in an individualist society, that is, a way to keep the zombified credit cattle feeling appreciated enough to continue shopping to by shit to impress people)

'Second, it means that profile viewers feel they can trust the information they glean from online social network profiles, building their confidence in the system as a whole.'

Because your faith and trust in the software as a whole boils down to nothing more than the accuracy of precognitive superficial exchanges it monitors. The goal is to instate social networks as a viable substitution for actual public engagement, to get us accustomed to compressed communication mediums that are compatible with our distracted lives.  Its great that facebook provides an ever more realistic and real time experience that allows us to all get connected and circulate the doomsday news, but bear in mind, they now know who is connected. So insofar as it may enable you to organize meaningfully, it also allows someone you never know or will never meet to know everything about you, and I dont mean the people you add. This is a perfect example of the concept of technopoly, in that for all the gains made by technology, the increasing concentration of power in who controls this technology, deems it a greater hazard to the user than not having the oppurtunity to "connect and share with people in their lives".

In the same way that biology attempts to reduce everything to genetics, facebook seeks to reduce everything about you to numbers. The issue of whether or not it represents you will always be secondary in importance to its ability to be used against you...
