I logged onto my Facebook account for the first time in eight years last weekend. I can only describe the experience as like being sucked into a virtual swamp. There are data receptors everywhere. It was impossible to keep reliable track of my doings while in there. Flagging stuff as private seems to be made deliberately difficult as the privacy of each individual entry must be seperately switched, or so it seems. I could well believe that Facebook has been expressly designed to behave in a way which maximises the extraction of personal data from users while obfuscating the employment of privacy controls. The POTUS talked about draining the swamp. How well he could have applied this to Facebook.
Where do we find printed transcripts of your pod casts? Some of us find your audio casts silly and annoying but we'd still like to peruse the content in printed form to separate the wheat from the chaff.
Seconded Alex. I find podcasts to be fine if you have nothing else to do, otherwise it is a huge waste of time.
Sorry to hear you guys don't like podcasts.
How much would you be willing to pay for a transcript? Because we'd either have to spend some hours each week making one for you, or paying someone to do it for us.
