  • Facebook and the Battle for Privacy

    With the Facebook data breach comes yet another data breach. The result is that the senate is starting to step in more seriously in pushing Facebook on protection over user privacy. On the outset, it seems as though the government wants to enforce a blanket policy for companies to allow users to own their data…

  • Should Mark Zuckerberg Be Persecuted for Facebook’s Data Breach?

    While Mark Zuckerberg probably has little to do directly with Facebook’s recent data breach, we must ask whether or not the CEO of such a company should be held accountable for such a massive event. In reality, ever since the Enron scandal, publicly traded companies can persecute the CEO and CFO for things like insider…

  • Why I’m Slowly Moving Away from Social Media

    When social media sites like Friendster, Myspace, Facebook, etc. came out, I was ecstatic.

Over time, these platforms devolved from technology solutions and communication platforms to ad-centric spam hosts and spyware for marketing people. Worse…

  • Why Instagram Might Be the Best Social Media Platform Around

    I’ve written several articles on the high level ideas of becoming a Twitch broadcaster and getting into the world of livestreaming for gaming. One thing that I’ve noticed though is that there’s quite a few people who livestream but don’t really understand many of the social media tools out there. They might use systems like…

  • Movie Review: The Social Network

    Although The Social Network has been out for a few years now, I decided to write a review (or perhaps my interpretation) of the movie. I had been meaning to write a piece on The Social Network for sometime now, but either was hampered by time, lack of inspiration or just plain forgot. Also, the…

  • Why Facebook Will No Longer Be As Relevant in 3-5 Years (in its Current State)

    I read an article earlier which talked about how many key executives are departing. The article goes on to discuss how Facebook has been slowly losing its luster following the decline after its IPO. With the reports of the NSA spying on Americans as well as how teenagers have slowly been moving away from Facebook…
