Life expressed as a series of pie-charts


Tuesday, April 3, 2007

Everybody knows that a picture is worth a thousand words, but this guy is pushing the concept to a whole new dimension: his life.

Also it’s been awhile since last time I’ve posted pie charts :-)

Life expressed as a series of pie-charts: “Cory Doctorow:

Craig Robinson has drawn up a page of pie-charts expressing facts about his life to date, such as portion of his life that his father was alive, percentage of countries visited, percentage of life supporting the Liverpool Football Club. Love the juxtaposition of the banal and the profound.

… and I lost the Sidebar Widgets plug-in. It’s under investigation.

Update, 08 Jan:  I moved the old sidebar.php and functions.php in the default theme directory and it’s now fixed.

MySpace Not So Social Anymore


Saturday, September 2, 2006

Few weeks ago I was reading that MySpace was claiming more than 109 millions users.
My thoughts at that time was:

That’s a lot of users. How many of them are

  • spammers, scammers and viral marketers
  • virtual accounts created by mySpace to sexify their market value
  • one off account created by individuals that wanted to see what is it about
  • created out of boredom and where holders main activity is silent browsing of strangers profile
  • duplicate accounts of forgetful legit users

And this morning I found that on Digg:

MySpace Not So Social Anymore: “MySpace is no longer a social site, corporate spam-peddlers have taken over. Fake celebrity profiles, corporations posing as 13 yr-old girls to sell products, and a growing flood of ads is too much even for undemanding, noobish MySpace users. If something isn’t done, it’s only a matter of time before MySpace goes the way of AOL.”
