Who's really in charge?

Dave Siekanowicz - Tuesday, October 18, 2011



As some of you may already know, Facebook is en route to deploying "Timeline", a new update which digitally maps a users' entire online history. When you click to see a friend's profile you will be able to experience their unique Facebook story. From the day they joined Facebook, through graduation and work changes, different relationship statuses, 'likes' and all the new friends they added along the way. This new feature will also allow Facebook to collect more targeted information about their members for advertisers (ka-ching). That's how business works. But what if it comes at the cost of your privacy?

The latest USA TODAY/Gallup Poll revealed that 28% of daily Facebook users are "very concerned" about the new privacy concerns that have come about as a result of Timeline. Match that with another 35% of weekly users who have expressed the same level of concern. Keep in mind with 800-million users these are HUGE numbers. On top of that you have another statistic which claims that 56% of Facebook users don't like the changes (over 400 million people if you haven't been keeping track). 

With these stats it's safe to say that Facebook users (especially the more active ones) have given the Timeline idea and new changes a big 'dislike'-pardon the pun. So what now? As a company that serves 800 million users do you go forth with changes that will benefit your business, your customers (advertisers) and push further development of your platform at the cost of approval? Or do you understand that your entire business model is based on users and your goal should always be to cater to them first? What happens if your members begin to drop off? So far the pattern with changes in Facebook has been more like this: Facebook changes+ members complain-Facebook does little to nothing based on member feedback= everyone forgets and moves on.

The weeks to come will reveal just how much of an effect the high disapproval rating will have on Facebook's plan to go ahead with Timeline. A battle between the company that provides the medium and the creators/members who fill that medium with content.

This year, many girls are opting for shorter length prom dresses, instead of the common floor-length gowns, and spending more time and effort on finding the perfect prom christian louboutin shoes. It is easy to choose a style that compliments the dress
you have chosen, and this year many prom-goers have decided to sport a shoe that really stands out. When it comes to christian louboutin shoes it is easy to have fun with the style and color and let go of all of your inhibitions! If you really want to make
sure that everyone notices your awesome christian louboutin shoes at prom this year, look for styles that have hints of jewels or rhinestones on them. Jewelry is not just for your body anymore! christian louboutin shoes that sparkle from rhinestones can pick
up light as you dance, and as an added bonus, they are easy to clean in case the weather for your prom is less than perfect. If the thought of jewels is a little too over-the-top for you, go for a metallic shaded shoe instead. Match your jewelry with silver,
bronze, or even gold christian louboutin shoes. Gold is a favored color and style in 2009 and a perfect gold heel or flat will stand out and looks great with any color dress. You can also make a statement by choosing a brightly colored shoe. Prom 2009 is all
about vivacious, bold color choices. In the past, most girls stuck to white or black christian louboutin shoes or chose to get them dyed to match their dresses. This year, do not be afraid to make a statement with audaciously colored christian louboutin shoes.
If you are wearing a basic little black dress, a striking red pump can really punch up the volume on your entire prom look. As far as colors go, in 2009, vivid colors as well as all shades of pink are extremely popular. christian louboutin shoes with prints
are also popular this season. Floral designs, polka dots, and animal prints amongst the most sought out shoe designs. Another way to make a bold statement with your christian louboutin shoes is to choose a style that is not normally worn at prom. Ankle boots
have recently been increasingly popular and a pair of cute black leather ankle books can look great if you have an edgy dress. A formal cowboy boot can look dazzling with the right dress
Red Sole Shoes if it also fits your personality and style. Do not be afraid to shy away from “the norm” of prom christian louboutin shoes. Some girls are even opting to wear sneakers, crocs,
or flip flops to prom depending on the garment that are wearing. These choices, however, will get a lot of attention and give you an overall casual look. If you are not ready for the attention an unusual shoe can bring you, you may instead want to try a peep-toe
shoe or sandal and opt to getting a pedicure with some outlandish nail polish to spice up your look. If you plan to wear an all-black gown with gold jewelry, leopard animal print toe nails could complete your look and bring out subtle hints of your wild side!
You can also make a statement with the heel Red Bottoms Shoes of your shoe. It does not matter how tall or short you are; a very high heel can look stunning on any height. As a word of caution,
if you choose to go for a bold statement with a super high heel, make sure that you practice walking in the christian louboutin shoes often before the prom. You do not want to turn your ankle as you are walking in your promenade, and you definitely want to
be able to dance without worrying about having to take a trip to the emergency room. Lastly, if you want to stand out at the prom with some great christian louboutin shoes, do not be afraid to purchase a basic white pair and embellishing them yourself to fit
your own style. For example, you can purchase rhinestones, fake flowers, beads, and more at your local craft supply store and go crazy with a bottle of glue. Make your own ruby red slippers with some glitter or attach small LED lights to the tips for a funky,
fun look that will catch everyone’s eye as you are dancing the night away with the coolest christian louboutin shoes on
Red Sole heels the dance floor. Let your imagination go wild for prom, and you will be sure to stand out while having the time of your life!
