How I Became Amazon’s Pitchman For a 55-Gallon Drum of Personal Lubricant on Facebook

In his "What They Did Wrong" analysis, Sullivan notes that NBC Entertainment President Jeff Zucker might want to invest in the adult undergarment industry: Is anyone else disturbed by the fact that next season NBC will have just two, think about that - TWO, comedies older that two seasons on its schedule? This, the network that at one point had more than a dozen comedies on its schedule less than five years ago? If that doesn't scare the shit out of Jeff Zucker I don't know what does.

Sure "Joey" will bring some name recognition but that brings the grand total to three "veterans. " If it makes Jeff feel any better, we'll probably shit our pants if Joey is a hit. Needs, Wants and Haves: NBC [The Futon Critic]

Why People Have Fake Facebook Profiles

Why Facebook's Data Sharing Matters

The data is being collected and analyzed for sentiment by Facebook's data team, then delivered to Politico to serve as the basis of data-driven political analysis and journalism. The move is being widely condemned in the press as a violation of privacy but if Facebook would do this right, it could be a huge win for everyone. Facebook could be the biggest, most dynamic census of human opinion and interaction in history. Unfortunately, failure to talk prominently about privacy protections, failure to make this opt-in (or even opt out!) And the inclusion of private messages are all things that put at risk any remaining shreds of trust in Facebook that could have served as the foundation of a new era of social self-awareness.
