Hi, I was trying to find asemi today on here, guess it's a no-go?
post if you're on facebook.

I should come up with a search for 'projectdp' naturally :p

yeah I'm not on this shit. I hate maintaining a presence on social networking sites; then I end up compulsively checking them when I'm bored and on the web.

I also just generally like to have a slim presence on the web. a couple of nights ago I was trying to delete accounts I have on sites I don't use anymore. I hate when sites don't give you that option :/.

I have a spreadsheet of every site I have an account on, the username for that site, and the password number (in case you all forget, I have six different passwords (numbered 1-6, duh), all for different situations.).

if you've heard about the new privacy settings changes, it sounds like they are less "improvements" and more a pretty transparent attempt to enter the same market (publicly accessible, real-time data) as Twitter. Facebook sucks. I can't wait for Wave.

I don't see how wave is different from irc....
asemisldkfj's avatar
14 years ago

asemisldkfj
the law is no protection
because if it was the same as IRC then I would be able to set up my own IRC server and then join a channel on some random other IRC server and have all of the edits/updates/other content of the channel reflected on my IRC server.

the closest comparison is Jabber. doesn't really compare to IRC. and these are just protocol differences, not stuff like real-time editing/typing/revisions, embedded attachments, widgets, etc.

so yeah, it's pretty different.

also, having the ability to search through all of the public waves ever created, and in the case that every wave server other than your own goes down, you still have access to whichever waves you participated in or followed. now this is theoretically possible with IRC or email lists, but there is no consistent interface or protocol to access all of this. mailing lists have different interfaces to subscribe/search, and I don't really know if anyone even gives public access to IRC logs (and if they did it would be inconsistent the same way that email is).
