Facebook contrôle votre fil d'actualité, comment reprendre les commandes. Facebook contrôle ce qui apparaît ou non dans le fil d'actualité des utilisateurs qui «aiment» une Page. On pourrait croire que sur Facebook, pour ne rien manquer à propos d'un sujet, d'une entreprise, d'un site Web ou d'un personnage public qui nous intéresse, il suffit de joindre sa Page afin de voir toutes ses publications dans le fil d'actualités.
Erreur! Seulement un certain pourcentage des fans voit les publications dans leur fil d'actualité, les autres sont laissés de côté et n'ont pas droit à ces mises à jour, car Facebook bloque la publication. Mais n'est pas aux membres de décider eux-mêmes ce qu'ils veulent voir ou non dans leur fil d'actualités? On pense que oui, chaque usager devrait être libre de voir toutes les mises à jour des pages qu'il aime et Facebook ne devrait pas exercer un tel contrôle. Surtout que tout ça se fait sans que les usagers le sachent, et que c'est clairement pour inciter les détenteurs de pages à payer pour que plus de fans voient la publication... 7 Myths of the Digital Divide. 1. The digital divide is so over that it’s passé This is a common trope I hear at conferences, whether academic or otherwise. Before presenting at the American Sociological Association annual meeting last year, I got feedback from colleagues that I should explain what in the heck the digital divide is before launching into its connection to online activism.
Huh? We are sociologists – we have all read Marx. But I’ve been told to always listen to my audience, who need a gentle reminder that digital inequality is alive and kickin.’ The digital divide is a way to talk about how some groups of people are not able to use the Internet, or other digital technologies, at the same rate as other groups. While race, ethnicity and age are strong factors in Internet use, my research has found that it is social class gaps that are most consistent over time. 2. In other words, many believe that it’s a simple question of whether or not people have or do not have Internet access. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Data Based.

This and more #OverlyHonestMethods can be found here. I really love putting things in order: Around my house you’ll find tiny and neat stacks of paper, alphabetized sub-folders, PDFs renamed via algorithm, and spices arranged to optimize usage patterns. I don’t call it life hacking or You+, its just the way I live. Material and digital objects need to stand in reserve for me, so that I may function on a daily basis.
I’m a forgetful and absent-minded character and need to externalize my memory, so I typically augment my organizational skills with digital tools. My personal library is organized the same way Occupy Wall Street organized theirs, with a lifetime subscription to LibraryThing. I use Spotify for no other reason that I don’t want to dedicate the necessary time to organize an MP3 library the way I know it needs to be organized. Like any piece of software that runs on OS X and contains a database, Mendeley described its interface as “iTunes-like.” Sorry! “Ah-HAH! Robert K. (New) Word Needed: On Analogue-Digital Fluidity. When something that is not originally digital is converted to digital form, that thing has been “digitized”—but what do you call it when something that is digital is converted to analogue or material form? There was a discussion to this effect in my Twitter feed a few months ago, but I don’t recall that we ever came to consensus about a) whether there is a term for this, and if not, b) what that term should be.
Whatever that term is or may be, it’s a term that I keep needing, so I’m hoping to identify it by reopening the discussion here. Without further ado, here are some of the recent digital/analogue crossovers that have inspired my question: 1) Words With Friends: The Board Game. Seeing a TV commercial for the board game version of an online game (Words with Friends) that ripped off a board game (Scrabble) that was itself based on word puzzles that originated in newspapers (crossword puzzles) pretty much broke my head. Crossword puzzles, of course, are no strangers to medium-hopping.
Social Media and the Devolution of Friendship: Full Essay (Pts I & II) (This is the full version of a two-part essay that I posted in October of this year. Here are links to Part I and Part II) “Well, you saw what I posted on Facebook, right?” I don’t know about you, but when I get this question from a friend, my answer is usually “no.” No, I don’t see everything my friends post on Facebook—not even the 25 or so people I make a regular effort to keep up with on Facebook, and not even the subset of friends I count as family.
I don’t see everything most of my friends tweet, either; in fact, “update Twitter lists” has been hovering in the middle of my to-do list for the better part of a year. And even after I update those lists, I probably still won’t be able to keep up with everything every friend says on Twitter, either. I feel guilty when I get the “You saw what I posted, right?” Social media saturation? Anyway, I have a bad case of Social Media Saturation Guilt, and “You saw what I posted, right?” The Scene: a “list” party. Everyone remembers this…right? Mème Culture : analyse du phénomène mèmes. A New Privacy: Full Essay (Parts I, II, and III) Privacy is not dead, but it does need to change. Part I: Distributed Agency and the Myth of Autonomy Last spring at TtW2012, a panel titled “Logging off and Disconnection” considered how and why some people choose to restrict (or even terminate) their participation in digital social life—and in doing so raised the question, is it truly possible to log off?
Taken together, the four talks by Jenny Davis (@Jup83), Jessica Roberts (@jessyrob), Laura Portwood-Stacer (@lportwoodstacer), and Jessica Vitak (@jvitak) suggested that, while most people express some degree of ambivalence about social media and other digital social technologies, the majority of digital social technology users find the burdens and anxieties of participating in digital social life to be vastly preferable to the burdens and anxieties that accompany not participating. We’re always connected, whether we’re connecting or not. You can opt-out, but you can’t make your friends opt-out. Are you my shadow profile?
