2012, Planet X and all that.



We're all going to die. All of us.
Apparently some reckon its going to be in 2012.
The Mayans and the Babylonians believed it.

Nancy Lieder believes it too. She was contacted by space aliens called Zetas who implanted a communication device in her head to let us know of our impending doom. Nobody so far has been able to find this communication device in here head or even the space aliens that put it there, but hey, who are we to disbelieve her?
Personally i'd have thought the Zetas would have been a lot more vocal in letting us know we're all going to snuff it, but maybe they're too busy wandering other planets with sentient lifeforms telling them they're all going to die too.

This was all meant to have happened in 2003 but many have revised the day of the coming of the planet to December 2012. Before or after Christmas nobody really knows, so some of you might want to leave getting Xmas presents 'til the last minute instead of idly wasting your time.

She even went on the radio in the US to try and convince people to have their pets put to sleep, also noting that a dog makes a good meal. (How she knows this I dont know, but suspect the space aliens told her this after sucking the blood out of a few cows and leaving them in a fields and moving on to Rex and Benjy for dessert.) When 2003 passed Lieder explained her radio interview was a "White lie to fool the establishment" but 1000's of Americans were up in arms after they had eaten Shep and Tiddles at Thanksgiving.

Many believers of the Planet X hypothisis accuse NASA of covering up our impending doom. Some bloke called Mike Brown now says that Nibiru is the most common pseudoscientific topic he is asked about.

So, what's the upshot of all this?
Well, either this planet is going to smash into the side of us and kill us all.
Or.
This planet is going to come so close to the Earth that it will stop our home rotating for nearly a week, cause a polar tilt and we all fall off and die.
Either way, we all die.
All this and Project Enoch. (Might want to Google that one)

Am I bothered about this in any way, shape or form?
Nope.
Why?
Well, if i'm going i'm leaving nobody behind, nor are you. I'm also not going to be eating my bloody dog either.

This is of course if any of this does happen.

The Future of Social Networking.

Facebook may be starting to see a trend of users using its site less than they did before. Some of the most common reasons are-

Invasion of Privacy
Restrictive Practice
Slow practice of dealing with personal attacks
Protection of its Members

However, the most common reason seems to be its size.
Smaller Social Networking sites are beginning to thrive using different platforms such as Ning which now has various packages for various open Social Networking sites. Facebook makes its revenue from advertising and the selling of its data to various markets and last year made over a billion dollars. Thats how people pay for Facebook, it's not free, it's like selling your soul a little to gain access to its site.

Smaller sites like Fuzzies Playground are beginning to pop up, some using Adsense to pay their way, some charging to niche members an annual fee to pay for servers and bandwidth. These are becoming more and more popular due to the fact that memberships of these sites are controlable in ways that Facebook can only dream of.

Sites like Fuzzies Playground use Paypal to verify membership meaning that fake accounts and spammers are kept out of the site as are trolls and internet spoilers. People seem to forget that the internet is a pretty lawless place without many guidelines and in many views too little restriction.

Sites like this also tend to control their data one way, so anything data wise that comes in is kept in and not sold on to marketing companies which can only be good for its members. So, should we embrace these smaller sites or stick with the established giant that is Facebook? Well, Facebook has its place, it grows because of it's simplicity but more and more members are craving something a little more niche, little more sophisticated as they pass the Social Networking learning curve.

So, has Facebook had it's day? I very much doubt it. But, I do feel that big changes are due.images.jpgcooltext465944081MouseOver.png
