Google + May End The Facebook/Twitter Social Net Monopoly

This changes everything, not since the Iphone has there been so much hype about a new technology product.



P.S. if any of my readers have Google+, I am looking for one of those hard to come by invites. I am on Google as Rudy Aunk. Everyone needs a little Cultural Health in their circle. lol

Introducing Google+: Why Facebook’s Monopoly and Twitter’s Heyday May Be Over
what’s currently shaking up the Internet is a new service created by the search giant Google, known as “Google+”. According to Google’s former CEO, it already has millions of users. That’s extraordinary for a service that’s only been active for 12 days.

But what is Google+, and why is there so much hype? At first glance, it appears to be “like Facebook, but not Facebook”. On further examination, it provides so much more. Intrinsic to the service is the concept of “Circles”, a system where users organize the people they know into groups. While this seems fairly rudimentary in concept, the execution is superb. Rather than having one group of “friends” for every single person you know, as on Facebook, Google+ gives several categories to start with, and users can add more as they see fit. This allows the site to match users’ “real” social lives with their online interactions: rather than share that inappropriate joke with your parents and coworkers, you can post the message in your “friends” circle, where you know it’ll be taken the right way. This also prevents one of the main problems associated with having an online identity, the idea that potential employers could see your online profile and not like what they see.

Foursquare vs. Gowalla: Inside the Check-In Wars

Get up to speed on geo-social networking. I have looped -the 1st GeoSocial, Yelp -the Geo-Business review/check in  app and 4Sq. If I used all three to check in, I would spend most of my time just checking in. What do you have/use.

Egyptians/AA Yesterday and Today 2 of 2

We know that the Classical Africans in their majority were Black because they said so and because the science, melanin dosage tests, confirm it. However, is it not remarkable that all we need is to observer the natural cultural performance of our youth from graffiti to hip hop and some basic Cultural Literacy to make our own confirmation.



When I was young in New York City, I remember when African American youth started writing/drawing on walls. It was a new remarkable somewhat cryptic artistic formation on walls that was hard to get off. Everyone in the community connected but the uninitiated did not have a clue. At the time I made no Legacy links to Classical African Civilization, Kemet (Ancient Egypt).

Legacy Links that come to us in our ancestral memory and can be seen automatically transmitted to our children. And so today we see them like their ancestors wrote in stone so that there words would last forever, writing in cyberspace (blogging) so that their young words will last forever.

Speaking of blogging and social nets like myspace, and facebook and twitter. Do a twitter search on #bwb (Blogging While Black). From graffiti to twitti we are remarkable beings, that are so connected when we take the time to be quiet and listen to the timeless vibrations around us.

Mass March on the POST at High Noon

Last night Rev.Al Sharpton call for my neighbors to march in protest on The New York Post at high noon. The Governor and other public officials have weighed in on the "race" cartoon code that has offended the African American community and people of good will.



The Post is the "News" disgrace of my home town. I have not bought the paper in 30 years. The post as been identified a the most racist big paper in America by African American leaders and organizations. This is just another example.

Readers might be surprised to know that we ran this paper in to bankruptcy years ago because of their Cultural Poisoning. An African American brought the paper and fired the raciest reporters and they refused to be fired by a Black man and came to work any way. When you are talking the Post you are talking long time hard core enemies of African Americans.

CEMOTAP (Committee to Eliminate Media Offensive To Afrikan People. has tagged them as such and has been boycotting them for years. Dr. J, Dr. Ben and virtually every cultural soldier I know has condemned the NY Post. Rupert Murdoch is one of the most dangerous cultural terrorist in the world, this latest incident at his Post uncovers to more people he and his organization's cultural orientation.

The question is what should be done about it. This is America and there is free speech. If you are a person of good will and you buy the paper stop like I did. Reduce or don't use myspace go to facebook. Hit the owner in his pocket book.

2/20/09 Update: A first for the New York Post, up until now thought to be impossible, something I never expected to see in my life time, the Post "apologized" for offending African Americans. After hundreds marched, thousands clogged their phones, hundreds of thousands of bloggers fired up the blogOshere and millions commented the Post cried uncle. In the new era of responsibility pressure has and effect. Details Click Here
