On May 15th Aday.org asks you and people all around the world to pick up your cameras and picture what is close to you. In this unique photographic event, we will work together to create a unique documentation of daily life.
Professionals, amateurs, school children, farmers, social media fans, astronauts and office workers. Cell phone camera, Hasselblad, home made or borrowed. Aday.org is looking for the perspectives of everyone who enjoys photography. The goal is to inspire perspectives on humankind – today and tomorrow.
All images will be displayed online for you and everyone to explore. Some of them will be selected for a book, others will be displayed in digital exhibitions. Every single one will be saved for future research and inspiration.
Let a part of your life inspire generations to come. Share your perspective! Read more about the project and sign up at www.aday.org.
Seems that “Twitter” is becoming the latest fad in social media, there was even a Twitter showdown of sorts over the weekend. However, as we’ve come to expect with anything technology related, the next best thing is always right around the corner…
BTW, you can follow me on Twitter if you’d like! ;-)
Okay, this is geeky, but I think it’s also kinda fun…
It’s called “usernamecheck” and what it does is check a few dozen of the most popular web 2.0 sites for any username you specify to see if it’s already taken or not!
Give it a whirl, I’ll warn you, there are a whole bunch of sites that I’ve never heard of… so I’m not so sure how useful much of this info actually is…
For those of you who’ve made the plunge into the world of Facebook, you’ve probably noticed something… it’s called “targeted advertising” and it can be a little hard on the ole ego.
Facebook targets its advertising to users based on the information in their profiles. This is not a new concept, of course. Kids usually see toy ads while they watch Nickelodeon, and women get ads for birth control pills as they watch Lifetime.
But Facebook’s data miners know much more about us because we tell them a whole lot more. Facebook knows my birthday, my relationship status and which book I’m reading, among other personal tidbits. The site started turning this information into dollar signs last November with the launch of Facebook Ads, which targets users’ presumed areas of interest (or psychological soft spots).
Basically, the subliminal goal of product advertising is to make you feel inadequate and ashamed, because you’re not perfect. Your teeth are yellow. Your armpits stink. You’re fat. And hairy.
I almost always get ads about “Learning Chinese” – how did they know my Mandarin stinks? Lately they’ve been asking me if I need help with a “gambling addiction” – huh?! Occasionally I think Facebook thinks I need to get a life, because it keeps asking me if I want to know about parties in Beijing.
FB must not have got the memo about my THREE kids if they think I’m gonna jump at an opportunity to party it up in Beijing!
