Friendster & TMI

30 Aug 2003 by Scott Heiferman

Co-Workers on Friendster: TMI
Don`t really want to know that much about them.
They said that the Internet would allow you to maintain multiple personas & aliases.
Instead, blogs, Friendster, and Google force you to maintain a single persona to all the disparate people in your world (current and past friends, family, co-workers, etc).
That`s big.

even pseudo-anonymousness can come back and bite you in the ass if you have a few online personas and one group of people you know finds about the one you were trying to hide from them. the internet is anonymous my ass...

For example, if you see an AIM window peeking out from behind your browser and you click on it, that window will come to the front, but the main application window will not. The Mail.app/Activity Viewer is another example. The Aqua system of layers works well in many instances, but not in all. Thank goodness that the Dock is always there to come to the rescue. I know that clicking on an application icon in the Dock will always result in not only the application coming to the front, but also any non-minimized windows associated with it. And if the application is active but no windows are open, clicking on the Dock icon should create a new window in that application.
