Emo Takes a Shower into the Dishwasher at Burger King

2008-08-12T21:49:00.003-04:00

Most of the time, I'm against calling somebody "stupid". My mom always says that there are people who have opportunities and there are others who don't. But in this World there are some individuals who stand out among others.
Do you remember that lil' fallow at school, who used to write his own name on the desk? Sometimes the complete name! Yeah, that's the category which we can include the man in the video below.
The "Stupid", who call himself "Mr. Unstable", decided to enjoy, at his birthday, a shower in the sink where the dishes and other stuff are cleaned at Burger King in Xenia, Ohio. A responsible manager would be good idea, don't you think?

Problems analysing opinion in social networks

2008-06-28T15:26:00.000-04:00

Analysis of sentiment of community by the name of the community

To judge a factor so subjective like a person's opinion on something is a tough task and must go beyond a simple title. A robust analysis must be made, using several factors such as the content of the forums in the community.

Discussions on a brand/product always occur in communities of the same name brand/product

To get things worse, I believe in this case what's a big issue is noisy data like SPAM and topics without any relevance in forums (ex:"Would you hookup with the person above?").

To think on the analysis of the social media as a clipping

On the opinion retrieval task, it is common to exclude page blocks judged without importance, like a blogroll and the trackbacks, and sometimes they are interpreted as part of the Blog's template, though blocks like these could give auxiliary information to the opinions, if they are treated in a different way.

Who executes the maketing strategies also measures the results

Doing this is more an attempt to lower the spends, because they don't understand the complexity of the problem of Buzz analysis. Or simply, it could be a marketing over a marketing, "not telling all the truth in statistics" for example, it happens...

The monitoring task on the Web is a complex challenge

I believe it is already possible to build Search Engines for that specific purpose using techniques available today. And the analysis of feeling can be obtained with the classifier SVM, or to use fuzzy logic, and even a combination of these or other techniques, finally: is possible and I believe that gives good results.

It will be possible to analyse socio-demographic data with accuracy

I believe that this type of error is close to an end, because the Web is increasingly moving to something more personal, that is, take Google Friend Connect for example, from the time that the person logs into his Google account and let comments and ratings, he already has left somewhere in its footsteps into Google domain valuable information that help in creating a profile. And with that profile much can be done, especially recommendations of any kind.

Is it possible to analyze networks with metrics for popularity?

In the social media, audience is just one of the factors, as well as the analysis of opinions. All this is part of a complex network that will help create the Web 3.0, as personal services and ease of use in the end, fold up a Web omnipresent, and then everyone should and will need to use.

Your Life on the Web

2008-05-21T18:58:00.000-04:00

With the popularization and the mass usage of the social media, an interesting thing is happening, and not many people are noticing, is that everyone is putting all their lives on the Web. Every single moment is registered and people don't care where they are putting their own info.

You are a liar if you say that you never entered the same password in differents Social Media app's registrations? Yeah, you're not alone. It is much more simple to have just a few passwords, or even just one. But what not everyone has a nice intention, ~~like Google~~ and could these sites do having your information? Simple, some bad and some good things:

Bad:

Spam - One of the most annoying problems on the Web.

Bad use of the information

Good:

Recomendation based on Profile analysis

Connect people with the same interests

Nowadays, Google have made people believemore in Web Services, wich is good and bad at the same time, because not everyone is trustful.

Tip: read the Terms of Service before signing in.

Why HTC's Touch Diamond Won't succeed

2008-05-07T00:15:00.000-04:00

Well, as anyone can see there's been a lot of buzz about the new HTC smartphone, but let's just simple it up a little bit...

This is, no doubt about it, a nice ~~piece of ass~~ cell phone, take a look at some specs:

Size: 102 x 51 x 11.33mm - not too big, not too small
Weight: 110 g - yeah it's light
Camera: 3.2MP, with video calling - nice pictures can be taken
Where am I? Do I have a GPS? Sure yeah!!!
3G? WCDMA / HSPA: 900/2100MHz. HSDPA 7.2 Mbps and HSUPA
Bluetooth? Yes!
Memory: 4 GB Internal Storage, 256 MB flash, 192 MB RAM

And look how it is good looking...

But there is ONE considerable mistake... it takes almost an hour of touch response when performing heavy stuff (just kidding, only a second, but its just enough to feel angry)

Take a look at the video and see for yourself
