There’s some nasty social networking plug-ins floating around, that ask you to update Flash - it then adds malware to your machine.

We have seen coverage from the security community of a worm on popular social networking sites that is using social engineering lures to get users to install a piece of malware. According to the reports, the worm posts comments on these sites that include links to a fake site. If the link is followed, users are told they need to update their Flash Player. The installer, posted on a malicious site, of course installs malware instead of Flash Player.

Read this list… which ones make you jump off into insanity n go, oh well I believe that… how many of these are so UNBELIEVABLE it makes you bang your head on a desk… where do you draw your lines?

There are actually people who still believe the world is flat

There are quite a large amount of people who believe that fossils are only 100’s of years old

some people believe that there are only 12 personality types, governed by stars quadra-millio-billajon miles away that died millions of years ago, that affect how they behave

quite a number of people are convinced the world is run by a conspiracy of lizards in human form

some people are utterly convinced that aliens shoved probes up there bottoms in some act of “science” and yet some people believe that despite the almost infinite nature of space and its ridiculously large amount of stars and planetary systems, life on any other planet is impossible

today, I’m amused by it all

              

What does it achieve?

Almost everyone does it to some degree… from Facebook to LinkedIn, MySpace, bebo, Plaxo…

Its all great n that, being able to chat to the same people in a different way… and re-connecting with people…

Is it really worth all the money floating around in the sector? Ads are largely ineffective, few marketing campaigns achieve any more than “brand awareness”…

blogging, podcasting and vodcasting (youtubing etc too I guess) seem to of matured, tailored and filtered RSS feeds mean you can get a great amount of relevant stuff pushed to you (kinda)… but SN?

Ummm….

All I can tangibly say it does for me, is some promotion (and guestlists) to enhance my DJing… I know that people turn up to my gigs because of SN invites etc and that them doing that means I get booked.

Maybe I’m missing something?

LinkedIn just feels like an untapped resource, well… I guess if I was job hunting again now, it might help… will it increase my consultants profile in a similar way my DJ profile is helped via dontstayin/myspace/facebook…

hmmmmm… your thoughts please, i’m pondering.

              

The clubnight that is now a religion… and the planned protest against it… no really.

floordance - my next tune, with PointA and ft James O on vocals!

Why Cats are Superior to Space Aliens!

Cuil - the google beater, that doesn’t beat google - try searching for “Cuil” on Cuil… and… tumbleweed… - seriously though one to keep an eye on.

UPDATE - seems they read my post on LinkedIn - searches for “Buy PS3″, “Cuil” now return good results… ok… now its more interesting - go check it out anyway - if I was them, i’d of kept it in Beta for a bit longer!
