The amazing thing about the human condition is that no matter how many times the llama might spit in your face most of us just wipe it off and keep on trying even though we might at some point begin to wonder why. In the meantime here’s as few things that caught my eye in today’s FriendFeed pipeline.
New Blogging 2.0 Paradigm: What Is It? :: David Risley – even though I thoroughly despise the word paradigm for its obvious over use with anything to do with the web David does give some good points as to what this shift in blogging could mean for us.
Twitter refuses to uphold Terms of Service :: Ariel Waldman – web companies especially love their terms of service (TOS) pages which is where they hide all the legalese that is suppose to help protect you and more importantly protect the company. In the case of Ariel thought she says the TOS isn’t protecting her in the least and it appears that Twitter in now re-writing theirs – to whose benefit I wonder
What College Students Can’t Get From Blogging :: SheGeeks – Corvida has a good post today on what glory and riches college students think blogging is going to bring them. Sounds like a cold shower of reality for them is in store.
20 Most Bizarre Mugshots ever :: Oddee – sure hope none of these folks were in your yearbook or your Facebook friends list.
Continuous Parallel Attention: My New Reality :: Louis Gray – Multi-tasking is so Web 1.0 for Louis … now it’s a whole new thing called continuous parallel attention. In other words multi-tasking your multi-tasking with a side order of coffee.
Get a room! :: FriendFeed – not sure I get the reasoning for this new feature on FriendFeed but the faithful seem to think that sliced bread has some new competition.
The Social Contract Does Not Exist :: Profy – once more Cyndy takes on another of the silly Web 2.0 conventions. Nice going Cyndy and your renewal prescription for your cranky pills is on the way.
I was just saying to Carla Thompson the other day that I think a lot of my outlook on life was colored by 1970s game shows; I grew up thinking Paul Lynde and Charles Nelson Reilly were the coolest people on earth. But that whole conversation just got to me. It's bad enough we are trying to swim upstream against the firehose, but to then claim that I'm somehow beholden to some hypothetical contract of expectations from my followers and should evaluate every move I make on a social network in light of that contract? Gimme a break!

Call me old fashioned, but back when I started computing online, it was with BBS's, and multi-tasking entailed starting a download and going out to mow the lawn.

I think you missed the point of her post. She talks about why college kids don't blog not why they do.
