Much as I have my reservations about China, I have to say the whole fuss over the 'fake' singer at the ceremony is a bit over the top. China has for years been horrific in its attempts to create perfect human beings. From binding feet, to mutilation of young women, it was never going to offer up a slightly gawky child to sing in its biggest exposure to the world. That said, I wonder how affected the rejected child will be. Imagine living your life being known as the 'child that was too ugly to sing at the Olympics'?
I'm wanting someone to explain the point of Yahoo's new Fire Eagle application. I am now Twittering, Facebooking, Powncing and blogging. When does it stop? And does anyone care?

social media mutterings
Well had a chilled weekend, mainly reading John Leslie's continued insistence that he's not a rapist, despite saying 'he didn't actually phsyically do anything wrong'. Hmmm.
Aside from that I played with this . How many do you remember?
I failed to do any of the chores I had planned to do, mainly due to getting domestic chores done, but I have an hour this evening to do it.
This week's going to be pretty busy, in the run up to my birthday on Friday. I'm wondering how many 'virtual' presents I'll be getting!
That said, as I'm out nearly every night with people I expect I'll have a good haul.
Interesting observations on social media here By looking at the data, it seems there are more women using social media than men, which could be true given we are more likely to chat. I'm not convinced by the age ranges. I am sceptical that there are so many 69 year olds on social media sites, more likely that when people sign up, they omit their age and it opts for the standard. That said, it shows the medium is growing up.

busy busy
God I sometimes hate Blogger. I've been manically busy starting work at a new agency, and also dating a lovely boy. No information will be given to identify either, but the former is going well although I think the latter might think I'm mad.
I'm not entirely sure how much I love the new Facebook homepage. While it seems to look a lot more streamlined, I can't see where their commercial opportunities have gone. Although, look at this it seems they have other plans.
My usage of Facebook has dipped recently. Partly due to work, but also due to lack of inspiration. What do you say in your status if nothing's happened?
