Twitter has been banned in Turkey. It is nothing unnatural, considering the Turkish past, especially the recent one, since the beginning of the internet era. What I say here, now, is from an uncontested personal view, and it is not my intention to create any discontent between Turkey and its neighbors or other passionate social media consumer nations. In Turkey, the access banning of certain sites is not news. Not that Twitter is the most accessed Social Media site in the democratic country, not … [Read more...]
Facespace?
A post on The Oatmeal remembered me of what was upon a time... How Tom Anderson and DeWolfe sold and how Facebook beat myspace, and of course, the ultimate drop, the connection to myspace through facebook. Brrr...

I want to be positive, I … [Read more...]
Yes Baby, on Twitter!
I just couldn't resist to show you President's Obama interview on "60 Minutes", which is hilarious. Actually, this post is about Twitter. No, no, no, I have to re-formulate. This post is about Twitter, again. You see, I'm trying to get some networking done here, without the "Social Network", and it's growing and growing baby. Facebook is good for lazy people, man. You push some buttons and everything is automatic, who's your friend, who wanna be your friend, who you shoudda be friend with, it's … [Read more...]
My Social Media Experience
I should have named this, “Once Uppon A Time, myspace”, based on my personal trifling through world wide web, because, with all the yahoo’s or Microsoft’s attempts to socialize their networks, myspace was my first “love” in social interacting. Myspace had and has a very special place in my heart, with his once dynamic HTML based profile customization, with the kind of friendly interaction between humans. That is, the actors, producers, musicians, politicians and the rest, were primarily … [Read more...]
