Opening up… through facebook.

May 29, 2008

Mark Zuckerberg explains what facebook is all about:

5:57
Kara: Define Facebook
Z: FB is about helping people share info about themselves. And open up. In a way they are comfortable with.

K: What differentiates it?

Z: How it’s tied together.   People share info and parts of themselves. And we have really good privacy settings, and everyone’s friends are there.

6:10
Z: (…) There are a lot of ways to help people share information about them.   You give people control, and they will share more.   That’s how people are able to open up and communicate.

He is talking about one of the many ways to open up.  Opening up to the outside world by sharing oneself. Sharing experiences is the new way of learning and growing.

The quality of the sharing depends on an opening up to the inside.  Breaking through rigid believesystems, integrating all the different aspects of oneself to connect to the essence beyond. Sharing from this essence makes life worthwile.

Thai Government steps up online censorship, easy to bypass.

May 25, 2008

Global voice online reports: “The past few weeks have seen YouTube blocked again as well as Prachatai, Thailand’s foremost independent news portal and Same Sky, a journal of social criticism. Both sites have popular public Web discussion boards. In the past, both sites have been warned by MICT to self-censor “sensitive” public comments.

The difference between Internet censorship in Thailand and that in the Middle East, Myanmar and China is that Thailand is famously a Constitutional monarchy. Thailand claims to be a democracy but operate government-in-secret, above the law.

Now Thailand’s newly-elected government and its new ICT Minister are using lèse majesté as its ongoing excuse to block freedom of opinion and expression by Thais on issues vital to Thai society.”

Ans is testing direct automatic blogging from his Digg account. Censorship is old. People who try to use power to suppress free speech have to learn that the good old times are gone. Internet offers many ways to express and share your opinion. There is no way stopping people from doing so. Bypassing a block on websites is easy by going through a proxy server. Ans has access to youtube and is even uploading a movie using  Youtubeproxy.

Bat temple and cave.

May 23, 2008

Every evening around 18.30 o’ clock, thousands and thousands of bats are leaving a cave behind the Bat temple, Wat Kao Song Pian, in Rachaburi, Thailand.

It is an amazing experience because they keep coming for over two hours. You will see in the movie that the rules for mass behavior apply as well. There are some ‘swings’ in the column of bats. They fly towards the sunset. Amazing nature.

Ans is testing the automatic blogging feature from his Flickr account. It seems like the youtube site is once again blocked by Thai authority. At least the mobile internet service from AIS does not allow him acces to the site.
