			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve been amused with many of the new Web 2.0 apps, including SocialThing and Swurl.  I like the idea of being able update everything at once rather than grind it out between Twitter, Pownce, and Plurk.  So essentailly, I like to play.  I know so many people that just look at me funny when I mention all of these, but there is this tiny part of me that just wants to see what all the fuss is about.  While I hang on to some, I let others go.  For example, Plurk is a neat idea but I can&#8217;t stand that you get Karma points for posting and commenting.  I do not want to be tracked in my posting.  I have no goal of getting a neat new background when my Karma is high enough.  SocialThing was neat for a bit, until I found Swurl.  Although SocialThing supports Pownce, Swurl does not.  But Swurl supports WordPress and SocialThing does not.</p>
<p>I think I may be getting to the point that the good apps are the ones I keep using.  I guess that goes without saying though, obviously my Karma at Plurk will suffer.  So when is it too much?  When have we reached the social limit of Web 2.0?  I&#8217;m sure that one day a new app will emerge and I will try it.  I am also sure that eventually the world will end.  If it does, where should I blog about it and should I change my status on Facebook to &#8220;Gone Fishing&#8221; or &#8220;Oh damn&#8230;&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So I am sitting at work and realize that my Facebook feed is not updating.  At first I think that the site itself is just down, until I check a little later.  Could it be that I am being blocked from Facebook, at an academic institution!  I have no doubts the reason for many workplaces banning Facebook and MySpace, I am sure my cousin could attest to the possible time suck that exists.  But here I am at an academic institution where there is at least some desire and possible need for using Facebook.  It could be that evil has seeped into the pipeline of information, oh wait what evil am I talking about.</p>
<p>Is it the evil of Facebook and MySpace addiction?  That deep craving to gain more friends than Tom or see how many seizures you can induce from flashing backgrounds.  Or keeping up with all your friends and what they are doing at every second of the day.  (On a side note, Twitter is not blocked and I am still able to chronicle every second of my day.)  Or is the evil something worse, is it that the people in charge actually want work to be completed?  Fear not, a proxy is all it takes; but I really do not need to check Facebook every minute (at least not until I really need to find out if Warren Ellis will be my friend).  I think there is an easy solution, nipple shocks.</p>
<p>Attach electrodes to workers nipples that are connected to a switch that will trip if the worker spends more than 2 minutes on Facebook at one time or visits said sites more than 2 times in an hour.  We can get our fix and the higher ups can boost productivity.  Simple and elegant with just enough sadism.</p>
