Facebook: Eighty-Seven Million Fakes

Posted by Viktoria Michaelis on February 21, 2013 in Internet, News & Opinion | ∞

The title of this post is, perhaps, a little bit misleading because it is a figure which is almost impossible to estimate. However, if Facebook is to be believed, and I am sure they can safely make their own estimates when it comes to their side of the business, this is the number of fake [...]

A Life Online

Posted by Viktoria Michaelis on December 17, 2012 in Immoral Conversations | ∞

Can anyone still imagine their life being fulfilled, full of joy and happiness, packed with friendships, communication, pleasure without the Internet, without Social Media? It is such a part of our lives now that should we lose all access to our beloved online contacts, should we be forced to communicate by other means, it would [...]

Protecting The Young

Posted by Viktoria Michaelis on December 2, 2012 in Internet | ∞

Social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and a host of others, local and international, have taken over the social and communicative lives of many in modern society. They supplement, and in some cases even replace, the personal contact between family, friends and colleagues. They are open to most age groups, all walks of life [...]

Flushing Out The Fakes

Posted by Viktoria Michaelis on November 24, 2012 in Internet | ∞

There is an age-old saying: In the Internet, no one knows you’re a dog. It is commonly used as a reference to those who portray themselves, through various profiles, with altered images and a carefully constructed story, as something which, in real life, they are not. The construction of an alternative ego, a different personality [...]

Would You Pass A Social Media Background Check?

Posted by Viktoria Michaelis on November 23, 2012 in Internet | ∞

It is a well known and accepted credo that business and pleasure should never be mixed, that a person’s private life shouldn’t intrude on their daily work, that an office affair is bound to end up going the wrong way with bad feelings, a bad working atmosphere and nothing but stress. When someone leaves their [...]

Social Media: Weathering The Storm

Posted by Viktoria Michaelis on November 16, 2012 in Internet, News & Opinion | ∞

Social Media is considered the future: the connection between companies and their customers; individuals and their families; work and work colleagues. It comprises the traditional web sites, personal and company web blogs, social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter and a wealth of different forums covering every subject imaginable. Social media, in which ever [...]

How to Determine Someone Online Isn’t Crazy Before Agreeing to Meet Them in Person

Posted by Viktoria Michaelis on November 5, 2012 in Internet | ∞

The world is full of crazy people, from the almost legendary Crazy Cat Woman through to the man walking down the street talking to himself. The Internet, our virtual world which, for some, contains more reality than everyday life, is also full of crazy people but with a difference: it is almost impossible to see [...]

Defamation of Character on Social Networking Sites

Posted by Viktoria Michaelis on October 29, 2012 in Internet, News & Opinion | ∞

It seems as if hardly a week goes by without the traditional news media reporting another case of abuse, another case where a person’s name or position in society hasn’t been abused in one form or another through a social media platform, through the publication of personal photographs or slanderous comments on their character, events [...]

Tweetfest

Posted by Viktoria Michaelis on October 27, 2012 in Immoral Conversations | ∞

This is me clearing out a massive backlog of highlighted Tweets which caught my eye at one time or another in the last few weeks. That’s my excuse. Anyway, that’s also the reason why this post is totally long, since I really did have a crazy highlighting session and I need to clear out my [...]

Update Annoyances

Posted by Viktoria Michaelis on October 26, 2012 in Internet | ∞

Want to know what has really annoyed me over the last few days? Listing sites. First off I am approached by one site which wants me to link my works through their site, as I mentioned yesterday. Fine, they are a new company and have a long way to go, so let’s leave that one. [...]

Concentration in Writing Articles

Posted by Viktoria Michaelis on October 22, 2012 in News & Opinion | ∞

Since starting to write articles again – I explained the reasons here – I have also been keeping a close eye on exactly what works and where the general interest lies amongst my readership. I have to remember that the audience elsewhere is possibly different to the audience here, we are serving, effectively, two different [...]

Later Thoughts.

Posted by Viktoria Michaelis on January 4, 2012 in Internet | ∞

I’m a little bit wary over writing about new things that I have found and appreciated, simply because I am usually far too quick with my impressions and what I have enjoyed initially then goes sour. I’m not saying that it will be the same with this experience, this new step out into the virtual [...]

Serious Business.

Posted by Viktoria Michaelis on November 20, 2011 in Immoral Conversations | ∞

I’ve said it often enough but I’m going to repeat it now: there is no advertising on this Blog. That’s the way that I want it to be and that’s the way it is going to be. Simple. But, even so, there are people who feel that they need to use my Blog as an [...]
