The Chronicles of…

Uvijek sam se pitao koliko ima istine u prenapuhanim brojkama koje objavljuju kojekakvi soc-net wanabee projekti. Znam da ima puno znatiželjnih kojima nije teško upisati tri četiri reda u nekoj formi da bi vidjeli što je to. Ali koliko od tih ljudi stvarno počne koristiti neki od servisa i koliko ih nakom prve znatiželje u stvari nastavi koristiti… stvarno koristiti… Evo za twitter recimo… 60% ljudi odustane nakon prvih mjesec dana. U stvari ja bi prije rekao da 50% ljudi odustane nakon jednog ispaljenog tweeta a neki ostanu i mjesec dana… čak. Many New Twitter Users Not Coming Back for More Oprah’s appearance on Twitter may have helped boost the site’s traffic by 24 percent, but not all of the new “Twitters” that flocked to the site are becoming repeat customers. Approximately 60 percent of current Twitter users fail to return the next month, according to data from Nielsen Online. No to uopće nije strašno. SVI online servisi imaju ograničeni rok trajanja tj. mogućnost privlačenja pažnje korisnika. Da li se radi o jednom jedinom pokušaju ili o nekoliko mjeseci ili čak godina korištenja prije prelaska na nešto drugo i nije toliko bitno. Pametni prodaju servis dok je vrijeme, oni manje pametni misle da će postati slijedeći Google pa popuše.

Twitter? Ajmo se kladit kak će završiti ta priča… :-)))

Možda isto kao … hej… pa nismo mi krivi što ljudi koriste ono što smo mi napravili u “krive” svrhe. Mi smo samo napravili alat. Mislim OK, to ne vrijedi za PirateBay vlasnike ali ako si jedan CIsco ili Sandvine… eeee… onda ga ježi. Onda nema problema što proizvodimo uređaje za praćenje svakog bita svakog korisnika sa tako jakim algoritmima za “dizanje alarma” kad prepoznaju ovo ili onu u protoku da je to prestrašno.

Sandvine strikes back
SandvineSandvine filed reply comments [ pdf, 364 KB] in the CRTC’s Network Management proceeding that directly addresses the populist myths about deep packet inspection that were raised by the Privacy Commissioner and the expert for CAIP in their initial comments.

Single Lens Reflex (SLR) technology underlies cameras that take photos at family birthday parties. The same technology has been applied for surveillance of individuals and public spaces. One use of the technology raises privacy issues, the other does not. Nobody questions the value or validity of the camera technology. So why question DPI technology? Privacy concerns properly attach to applications or uses of technologies, not to the technologies themselves.

Nu…

Plan to monitor all internet use
BBC – Communications firms are being asked to record all internet contacts between people as part of a modernisation in UK police surveillance tactics.
The home secretary scrapped plans for a database but wants details to be held and organised for security services.
The new system would track all e-mails, phone calls and internet use, including visits to social network sites.

Haha… da, možeš do neke mjere trpiti, a onda pukneš… ko kokica. :-)
