StickAM says “Adios”

Posted on February 25, 2013 by Fred Stiening

Stickam offered a combination streaming and chat servers that a few radio stations used. It’s gone and the web site and archives are going away this week

    I am not familiar with this but am familiar with the comments functionality on web sites. They have gone through these evolutionary steps in the last 10 years or so:

    1.) Allow any reader to make a comment
    2) Allow any reader to make a comment after providing an email address
    3) Allow any reader to make a comment after registering with the site
    4) allow any reader to make a comment after registering with the site and confirming the email address
    5) Only allow registered users of Facebook, Disqus, Google, Yahoo, Microsoft to make a comment

      Ooops!!! hit the wrong button before pasting the text and link:

      The Police State is looking at YOU!!!

      A multinational security firm has secretly developed software capable of tracking people’s movements and predicting future behaviour by mining data from social networking websites.

      A video obtained by the Guardian reveals how an “extreme-scale analytics” system created by Raytheon, the world’s fifth largest defence contractor, can gather vast amounts of information about people from websites including Facebook, Twitter and Foursquare.

      Raytheon says it has not sold the software – named Riot, or Rapid Information Overlay Technology – to any clients.

      But the Massachusetts-based company has acknowledged the technology was shared with US government and industry as part of a joint research and development effort, in 2010, to help build a national security system capable of analysing “trillions of entities” from cyberspace.

      The power of Riot to harness popular websites for surveillance offers a rare insight into controversial techniques that have attracted interest from intelligence and national security agencies, at the same time prompting civil liberties and online privacy concerns.

      The sophisticated technology demonstrates how the same social networks that helped propel the Arab Spring revolutions can be transformed into a “Google for spies” and tapped as a means of monitoring and control.

      Using Riot it is possible to gain an entire snapshot of a person’s life – their friends, the places they visit charted on a map – in little more than a few clicks of a button.

        My employer yesterday sent me an invite to LinkedIn. She probably was hoping to mine all of my computer friends to try to recruit them. All she got was a bunch of people that work at radio stations.

          And, all that could be mined from my ‘friends’ are a bunch of folks who are waking up to the reality that POTUS has a policy to take all the $ in their 401K plans and convert their $ into paying for more UNION jobs, otherwise known as the government TAKEOVER of the ‘private sector’. These folks know about the plan to confiscate all of their fire-power, in the event they wake-up prior to 2014.

          Here is a pathetic attempt to obfuscate history:
