Social Networks
understand as "Social Networking" to groups of people criss-crossed with some kind of relationship as preferences and interests, friendship, profession, studies, etc. Internet social networks are the same social ties but THROUGH the use of technologies that enables the user to create an online profile and interact with other users anywhere in the world with Internet access.
The web applications have evolved significantly, in 1991-2003 the first generation of so-called Web 1.0, through the user browsers only recipient of information was unable to interact in the network, only static pages of information that only the people who created pages could upload content and people sailing could only receive the content [1], perhaps only interaction between users at that time was limited to email, instant messaging and chat rooms.
From 2004 comes the second generation web 2.0 and these are web applications that allow users to interact with others and contributing to the web without needing to be the creators or administrators of the pages [2]. In Web 2.0 applications the user can upload information to a page, videos, photos, and even build your own profile. Some applications of this type are: wikis (Wikipedia, other wiki), blogs (Wordpress, Blogspot), microblogging (Twitter, Identi) video hosting (Youtube, Vimeo) Image (Flickr), file sharing (peer-to-peer) and many other applications including social networking sites (Facebook, MySpace, Diaspora). And now we also speak of the so-called Web 3.0 that are smart or intelligent software agents (also known as robots) which use semantic data, for among other things to make handling, tracking, search and retrieve data online
[3].
Criticism ...
Social networks can be a useful tool for people who want to meet people and share things, spend time or find the latest in his circle, large social networking companies have become very popular business services have been selfish and unfair clauses in their licenses regularly when someone is enlisted in the service of these gives a "click" the button "I accept the terms" without reading before those long paragraphs of small print and boring, well, there we agree to provide certain rights to the files got into the business where we create our profile, in addition to cede copyright is, we are accepting demos that although low Our company profile can be stored in its database a copy and in some cases can not delete this profile ... Why do you need a database so big with so much information. " On the Internet you can often read like some of the pictures of the ads shown on Facebook are those of their users [4] or the famous case of the popular band Arctic Monkeys that had problems with the rights of his songs by posting them on MySpace and skip all the paragraphs of clause accepting these conditions [5] or the metadata that we collect on our profile to be ideal target company (Have you ever wondered how advertising gets you things you were looking for? ) or to be investigated as some cases have shown that companies like Facebook and Google (to name a few) are collaborating with the CIA [6]. These commercial social networks infringe on the freedom of users and privacy, previously required for information infiltrated persons, groups or social movements, now does not really need all this information and the profiles found on social networks in some cases put real names, addresses, photos, links to people who are related and they released their schedule of activities, beyond this we have to hide anything good or bad is what we demand the right to online privacy and these services violate such privacy.
In fact, many social network users come to a vicious and selfish excl IVUS leaving out those not using this service, as well they come in some isolated individuals creating social apathy, lack of solidarity and non-organized, interacting all the time in these networks with people who do not know personally removing some community strength as the system for you. These services isolates us in our homes or work, makes us compete for who has more friends or more who appear on top of top friends, brings us into a role very vain, and not even know who our neighbors personalente. I think it's pathetic display your "class" your "emotional state" your "loving relationships" or all "gossip" that runs through there and the problems this entails.
Many people are surprised to learn I do not use Facebook even though they know that many of my activities are based on the computer, or worse when you say "I command you by the Feis" automatically believing-and without asking, which one has "Feis" because it is logical that all of us " Feis "and indeed, conosco people who are in" Feis "and no longer wants to be there and not come out because all their friends are there, or because all their circle moves around, or because without it are not aware of anything or because it is "cool", or simply can not get out because it is an addiction or a fashion, any of these things are just excuses, and I think we can do things that are alternative to and speak in all fields and as said Richard Stallman [7] there are more important than comfort "
alternatives ...
I spend many hours a day at the computer doing various activities that it also can criticize me, so if I'm not all day, "Feisbukeando" or "tweeting" as commonly say, so I refused to using social networks, there are currently several free social networks that have no licensing clauses selfish or fill you with advertising or maintain databases with your information, this project because they are largely free of people involved in free software, free tools and free media with a certain ideology about freedom, most are separate projects of the same community of users who have neither the interest nor recurzos have information held in databases, as well as most do not ask for more than a name, user name, email and contact password, do not phone calls, address and more personal data because they are not interested in them, is a safe as well because if you come to demand such information to these projects, they can not provide since they never requested it.
Here is a short review of some of these alternatives.
* Crabgrass: It was the first social network that encouraged me to try (well, the truth a few years ago for various reasons and wrong I made a MySpace that I could eliminate some time ...) and basically is a software which can download and install on your site, the software structure consists of an application for a network can make your profile and entrelazarte with more people, but this is not a network like the other main idea is collaboration and network organization, file sharing can actually create documents and other people will continue to develop, has wikis internal, photo galleries, you can follow up on tasks and projects, take decisions in assemblies, etc. Ideal for groups, organizations, social movements, projects software development and much more!. I made my profile to collective works online and long distance, for example with groups HacklabAutónomo, Fury of the Streets and ZAM and has been a very effective tool used just as a way to build collaborative projects and documents. Crabgrass
currently being developed by the collective self Riseup hacktivist [8], in fact this is one of many projects still in development and significance of the project according to them is: "crabgrass is subversive: the loss of suburban lawns everywhere, crabgrass is the last base of resistance. Crabgrass is diverse: there are 300 species native from temperate regions to tropical and warm. crabgrass is native to North America, and an important food source for many birds. Crabgrass is hard to kill, due to their network, it is very difficult to get enough grass roots to get rid of him. is resistant to many herbicides. "[9] ---> http://we.riseup.net
* Identi.ca: a page based on" microblogging "which is an application that allows users to send short messages of 140 characters regularly these can be sent from a web page to friends who have added on your network, you can also send messages from cell phones, customers instant messaging and you can even put an RSS [10] in any site linked to your profile. Identi.ca using free software called StatusNet which you can download and install it on your site too.
One of the most popular pages microblogging is Twitter not free and in general this type of application has been known to give quick news and it is pretty far from portable phones, to submit news links to greet and talk briefly with your buddies ... just when I already had Crabgrass and did not think me not a profile, I tried this tool that I use it to send news or activities of groups and groups with which they participated and I made a practical way to handle it through the links, one thing in particular Identi.ca community is that people linked to social movements, the GNU / Linux and free software in general, free media, you can find acts around the programmers, developing layouts, great Indymedia network, the Hackmeetings of Hacklabs, and also many different things to this, but usually users and messages running on Iden ti.ca has a profile very " socio-educational. " ---> http://www.identi.ca
* Diaspora: It is also a free software that is made to create a social network, this project was created by four people (or four nerds who go to arms against Facebook as an article titled The New York Times [11]) and aims to be a social network that you actually own your files that you upload, not force you to accept claúslas Diaspora and from abusive home owner recognizes the user as the total of what goes up, is in an Alpha version and still in development, the idea is that it can be somehow "platform" so to speak, to respond to contact with people from other not even free services like Facebook, even had a note saying "us if we are social."
The operation of this software is similar to Facebook, you can upload images, chat, put things on the wall and more similar functions, but the interesting thing is that is decentralized, I mean that instead of being hosted on a server Diaspora proposal is that it hosted on your own website, so you control your information.
So for those who like to chat, make friends, upload photos and other interactions through a network, here is a free alternative that I read is quite interesting but I have not tried and I doubt they will. ---> https: / / joindiaspora.com /
* Much more: There are other services pages for both software and social networks that function as free as Fooplug [12] that even using the free software for social networks called Social GNU [13] at crawling distance Gnewbook made by the people of Chile GNU [14] that use the Elgg open source [15].
suicide at Web 2.0 style Web 2.0
Suicide Machine is a website where you can delete the contents of the profiles you've created either in MySpace, LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook, you can also delete or desinscribirte from friends you've done automatically but you can not delete the profile.
is a fun page to enter your username and password for the network profile you want to automatically delete all of this begins to eliminate data, the site invites you to "commit suicide in social networks" of course, those who are tired of these services, this site does nothing to erase all this information automatically in 52 minutes so you can do manually in 9 hours 35 minutes without entering the Suicide Machine page, the page is full of ornaments with phrases like: "Say goodbye with dignity", "Do you know your neighbors real again?", "You want your real life back "?" Stop the self-procastinación, "" Enhance your relationship, deshágace of stalkers, "no doubt a tool-style sarcastic hacker, indeed as the creators name it as a socio-political piece of net-art (art on the Internet) [16]
is estimated that more than two hundred thousand people have used this service in January 2010, Facebook has blocked the site so that users who would like to delete your Facebook data found an error, but the team managed to unlock the Suicide Machine.
I have not used this service but good, for there it is ... sorry Here is the link of the video of how it works ---> http://vimeo.com/8392741 and page ---> http://suicidemachine.org/ Sign Out Forever!
not find me Facebook
Finally I promoting this campaign that many people claim I am among those people and are we in the HacklabAutónomo, ZAM and the Fury of the streets are many friends from the community of free software, free media, Social activists and more people gradually joined by all this that I wrote and maybe even more reasons I did not include, there is even a video on the site called Facebook Anthem [17]
The people of the Free Software Foundation [18] is also in this campaign and put a banner on your page that says: No F'd You Will not Find me on Facebook [19] my partner was translated into English [20], [21] and many other people have designed their banercitos that adorn its pages and blogs proudly with the phrase: "DO NOT FIND ME ON FACEBOOK" Pyrrha
