  • Like most men, I get lots of hits from scammers from the Asian and Eastern Block

    Like most men, I get lots of hits from scammers from the Asian and Eastern Block countries. But this is the first time I’ve been solicited in Arabic over Facebook chat. I read on one of the blogs that the solicitation industry had moved off the web and onto Facebook. But I tend to think of Facebook as family friendly safe zone. So I was a little surprised at this.

    HER: ممكن نتعرف Is an introduction possible?

    ME: كل شيء ممكن Sure, anything’s possible.

    HER: فتحي من جيجل . و أنت با حلوة [?I think?] you’re sweet and attractive

    ME: لدي العديد من النساء بالفعل. لا أستطيع أن تبقي أكثر من ذلك. إنما أنا رجل واحد. I have many women already. 🙂 I can’t take any more. I am only one man.

    HER: باي باي Bye

    (And before someone teases me, I talk to people about libertarianism in just about every language on earth (thanks to google translate). So, how am I to know from the name “Fethi Mazi”, a profile thumbnail of a sunset, and a request for introduction that it’s a solicitation?) It’s probably some guy in a room running fifty chat sessions at once.

    QUOTABLE: Facebook to shopping what Google+ is to exploring.

    The idea is that

    a) you get a custom banner page, and

    b) that you can add a lot of custom badges to customize your page.

    HOWEVER

    a) the two column timeline is a terrible, UI disaster that makes the page disorienting and a mess to look at.

    b) The ‘About Me’ information is obscured, and then presented badly in two column format on the ‘About Page’

    c) It is not at all intuitive that the ‘badges’ are supposed to represent a ‘menu’. … It’s a mess. A complete mess.

    Monarchy under rule of law that mandates private property is Private Government.

    The best form of government humans have yet invented. (And we had to screw it up with democracy and democratic secular socialist humanism.)
