Marketers eavesdropping on social networks?

laglen @laglen (19759) • United States 3 Jan 12

Marketers have been eavesdropping on members of social networks, to determine how to market to them. Do you think this is an invasion of privacy? I am very interested to hear both sides.

hofferp Happy New Year, Laglen! With regard to your question, it upsets me to know that people whom I don't want in on my discussions are "listening in". But when you put yourself out there on FB, LinkedIn, etc., what can you expect? As such, I rarely check FB and...

Best Political Move of Barney Frank's Career!

laglen @laglen (19759) • United States 29 Nov 11

He is retiring! Thank the Lord. He has decided not to run for re election. Could it be the new redistricting in Massachusetts? I don't really care, I am just happy to hear it.

When up for re-election, Dems see the corruption

laglen @laglen (19759) • United States 29 Nov 11

Democrat Senator Clair McCaskill from Missouri has asked that Obama's wheel and deal with a major donor, costing tax payers $443 MILLION for a vaccine we don't use, be investigated. This was a no bid contract for a small pox...

hofferp All I can say is it's a start, but I'm betting there's hundreds and hundreds of similar deals, and unfortunately, it's been going on in this White House and I suspect earlier administrations (as well as nice deals going on in Congress too). I'd like to see all...

hofferp Yes, I believe the bond market, dollar, etc. could and may collapse. With that in the back of my mind, I've been buying more canned goods, etc. I actually want to fill up all the pantries and store stuff in the wellhouse. If I had the money, I'd buy a...

laglen @laglen (19759) • United States 21 Nov 11

I actually have ex-in-laws and they are great friends of mine. Where my ex-husband falls short (which is most times), they are there for me. They are outstanding grandparents to my daughter, and great friends to me. How do you...

Who is right?

Occupiers in Washington are now "occupying" an empty building. Saying that it is now under community control. If this is private property then I would say hell no. But it isn't. It is owned by the city. The protesters inside are...

hofferp I don't see a difference between private/public-owned. I am owner/part owner of both and I don't want these idiots occupying anything I own. I like the saying I heard recently..."Get a job. Occupy a desk!"

What would you do?

laglen @laglen (19759) • United States 20 Nov 11

Ok, so say that you rented an apartment for $1000 per month. You had to change jobs and can no longer afford it. Do you move to a cheaper place? or do you demand that the government subsidize you? I just posted a different...

hofferp When it comes to renting...find a cheaper place and move. When it comes to selling a home, it's a little more difficult in this economy, but I'd sure do that before asking my neighbors (through their taxes) to help me pay my mortgage. OR buy a tent and move...

Occupiers having their voice heard

hofferp I don't know how the Occupiers ever came up with "we represent 99% of the people". Seems to me they represent a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of people that believe the rest of us (those paying taxes) owe them a living (food, housing,...

What do you think of Self Reliance

laglen @laglen (19759) • United States 30 Oct 11

In my opinion, that is what made the "American Dream". Self reliance, the ability to hit the wild frontier with out government involvement or intervention. To be able to make yourself, earn your way. To start your own business. To...

hofferp I still believe in self-reliance, but the local, state and federal governments are making it extremely difficult. I seem to be carrying more and more of others' loads. For some (my own family/friends, the elderly, children...), of course, I don't mind, but for...
