Report from the Middle :: Have We Come Full Circle Yet ??

According to what Metric Measure has Humanity Progressed?
by Pat Darnell

I choose faceBook, and the recently abandoned, felon-infested, mySpaceas suitable measuring tools this morning.

Note; I was a member of mySpace when a friend asked me to aid in an experiment on "social" network possibilities. His venture into the surrogacy of mySpace led him to many avenues... See Here:

"[On mySpace, eventually] ... artists would also share in the ad revenue. But…only the major label affiliated artists.
But…at some point indie artists would get the same opportunity. You know…big things around the corner type jive.
"And really, it would only be right because there is so much of an indie presence on MySpace," says the author Pribek. [HERE -- MySpace Sucks Even More Than You Think!!]!
"Anyway, MySpace Music has now, finally, started to fulfill that promise and guess what? They found an easy, sleazy, cheesy way to do it. [ Note: Every time a "thing" is posted on a social network, it is already "old news" or "old business" (pdaf)]
Continues author Pribek:
"They [mySpace] are working in partner with TuneCore. Now, as far as I know, this only goes for the ad revenue part of it not the spins. In short, in order to ever have a ghost of a chance to see any dough, an artist has to have a TuneCore account and every song has to be distributed through TuneCore. Doesn’t matter if you’ve had your stuff up for years driving traffic to and filling MySpace’s pockets; you would need to re-upload them and distribute through TuneCore." (Pribek.net)
So basically we are faced by faceBook and mySpace to work within their corporate structure, probably not a social network too. It must be a major stumbling block to our Entrepreneur-ically Insane IT Goth Bots, that for tax evasion purposes, or for lower tax rates, it behooves the company to spin-off a TuneCore Corp to handle the culture-aid promised by the Mother mySpace ... YIKES!!!

I no longer am a member of mySpace, but do vivaciously tour the annals of faceBook. I am looking for ... er ... looking for ... uh ... *[cursor blink blink]* ... well we should get back to that later.** D. C. al Coda [dal Capo al Coda]


I find I most often interject my Middle-aged Authentic Blues into discussions in faceBook -- which is what I mostly did in mySpace. This is peculiar because I never debated verbally, but now think I can graphically. [??]

I have found that my "Code" is now [already] vernacular, and my views are "Old Humor." This I can live with, no problem. The daily problem is that my same-age buddies, who would never tour the sites mentioned, do not see any of this, and show angst when I try to explain "This is our role in social networks today."

** Coda [dal Capo al Coda," or "from the beginning, to the tail]
*[cursor blink blink]*  Let's return to the above question: "I am looking for ... ." Suppose you are boiling some potatoes, and they have just started to boil. You walk away for a few seconds only to return to the pot all madly foamy, and boiling over ... It's a mad dash to move the pot or turn down the temperature... but always a mess that could have been avoided with a little more stirring and watching, or Tender Loving Care.

We all know a watched pot never boils... but this pot is the metaphor of middle-age angst of menopausal men of pause -- that is my group. And Dang 'it anyway.

If you are still reading in this drift with me, you will notice that this boiled-over mess always means "clean up -- now, or afterwards," but guaranteed there will be "clean-ups and burns."

Ante-Conclusion:
What patterns most often encountered in mySpace and faceBook show lukewarm pots of water about to boil over? Adolescent behavior is the Key phrase. The surrogacy of IT social networking finds its kinship in incompleat logic of adolescent human ideology that short circuits every time the pot of potato's boils over. My minority group of crusty old men, is not targeted. Naivety is targeted.

As the spirit of social networking grows older will it banish adolescent behavior? We shall see fifty years from now if so. Good luck with that.

And that is our Report from the Middle this icy morning. Here in the plush Brazos Valley, where the Men are good-looking; Women are strong, and the children are all above average.
