Jonah, help out a landsman.
Holds guys: Vinnie Pestano or Eduardo Sanchez ROS?
Is there any way to disable the stupid “share this on facebook” box that pops up after every message in the chat? It’s really aggravating.
C’mon in this world we need to share all possible inanity and immaterial crap on facebook. How else will people we went to middle school with know how successful we’ve become?
facebook is just like google – they make their $$$ by spying on you, selling your info, and tracking you across the internet….
Yep. And (almost) every magazine ever published makes their money by profiliing you, selling ads into their pages and renting out your name for direct mail offers.
And every TV show ever shown makes their money by profiling you, selling ads into your living room and selling you stuff you don’t really need.
Google and Facebook (and AOL et al) are no different than its ever been — no better and no worse.
I’m not sure if the ending was intentional or not, but it certainly seems to show that Jonah was having trouble with the chat today.
