Facebook flops

Just a short thought today.

There is an idea that the need for journalism is dead. But I beg to differ.

Just today, a young friend (the child of a good friend) posted that the high school - the one I attended - was on fire. The postings went back and forth. Even I, at 40 years of age, found myself trying to discover anything at all about the science wing being in flames.

Only it wasn't.

There was no fire. No emergency. Nothing.

Social media is a great tool. It is fantastic - so powerful.

But without responsible management, it can be a powerful tool to misinform or even cause panic.

Just some food for thought.

The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod's. It works well, but isn't as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that's not an issue, but if you're planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod's larger screen and better browser may be important.

The new Ipod Touch has been released, and it has all the new-fangled features of the Ipod 4 except being slimmer and lighter. Sounds excellent for me.

The brand-new Ipod nano looks remarkable! And 149 bucks for an 8 GB is really good. Take a look at the size of it! But I think I'll go for an Ipod Touch and get all the additional Iphone 4 capabilities.
