Memory like a pot with hols and a Facebook attempt at Twitter

The last week or so of events have been tough on the old top hat, memory is a little frazzled from late nights and featuring on a Channel 5 police show; when we nearly got arrested for postering around brick lane for my house mates exhibition which starts next week, RealrecogniseReal will be one to watch if your into illustration and other lovely art stuff. Anyways I remember reading about two and a half weeks ago about Facebooks attempt at stealing Tweeters!

The name itself leaves nothing to the imagination, it has no creative flare, no new aspects, just facebook but the "essentials," so really it is for the people that have yet to discover twitter properly. Or "don't have time" for Facebook.

Unfortunately it will do well, the reason facebook is more successful than twitter is three fold:

• It was first

• It offers more

And...

• It services most peoples needs for social media

Twitter is great because of all the other stuff that comes through twitter. Facebook lite will hook the Facebookers that have a need for something like twitter but are scared of adoption and not wanting to find out about another site, when FB does what they need.

It is a sad time for social media, I am a fan of twitter, but unfortunately and slight hypocritically I am never on their enough.

Adopt to change

Behavioural traits always surprise me, people who adopt the random interaction with others based on a common interest or entertainment value. Life is good, even when its bad, why not start a movement in the street, worst case, you have a good dance, know one joins, you’ll never see them again and they’ll have a story to tell their friends that night “This weird guy started randomly dancing in the street today ...!!” It is a win win situation.

Why don't we have a dance in a random place every now and then? Well, conditioning for one, many believe that the impression we give off from having a good time like the chap above is could mean we come across as; weird, crazy, "unusual" and/or "special." So what. After living in London for the past two months and observing the ‘heads down, pissed off’ mentality that we all adopt when we leave the house and before we enter a place where we know others. Flash Mobs are great buckers of the trend but even they’re spontaneity is planned. Who knows, but it would be great to see the trend change from planned to true spontaneity mob. You start and I’ll join in!
