Breaking News: Facebook Shuts Down Third Intifada Group

MARCH 29, 2011 13:40 BY ALEX MARGOLIN

Despite previous statements saying they would monitor but not remove the controversial Facebook group calling for a Third Intifada, Facebook administrators shut down the group early Tuesday morning in response to enormous pressure from pro-Israel activists. All links to the group now go to users personal Facebook profile.

The group had been calling for a march on Israel to “liberate” Palestine beginning on May 15. It remains to be seen how Facebook will respond if similar groups emerge with similar message of a Third Intifada.

New media expert Andre Oboler, one of the first to discover the group was down, told HonestReporting that Facebook made the correct decision shutting down the group.  “It’s about time,” he said. “Facebook needs to learn to distinguish between the right to ‘attack’ conceptual ideas, and the ‘wrong’ of attacking people be it because of their race, religion, nationality or political view. When they start to understand that, perhaps they will stop making so many mistakes.”

Google Maps Gets Bird's Eye View

Google Maps Gets Bird's Eye View

A few months ago, Google launched 45° imagery for select cities through its Google Maps API. In February, Google launched this new way to browse maps as an experimental feature in Google Maps Labs and starting today, this bird's eye view imagery will be available for all users by default. These high-resulution images - which are currently only available in a select number of cities in the U.S. and South Africa - will automatically appear once users zoom in to an area while in satellite mode.

For Bing, a similar bird's eye view feature has long been one of the differentiating features of Microsoft's mapping product. For the time being, Bing's bird's eye view is available in more places, but otherwise, the feature sets of Google's and Microsoft's products are very similar. Just like Bing Map, Google also allows users to rotate images and see a location from different angles, for example.

Overall, this is nice update to Google maps, as it allows users to zoom in closer and see buildings and other locations with more detail. As Google's Randy Wilson - a member of Google's Imagery Team - notes, "even when looking at familiar areas, seeing driving directions overlaid on 45° imagery will give you a whole new understanding of the neighborhood."

PICKED: Created Equal

V E R Y I N T E R E S T I N G!!!!!!!

One of my favorite blogs is BRAINPICKINGS...for that exact reason...

INCREDIBLE STUFF TO KNOW(they find it and I can be in the KNOW)!

Nearly two years ago, we explored Exactitudes — a visual study of similarity within subcultures. Now, we turn to the opposite: From photographer Mark Laita comes Created Equal — a visual study of diffrence between subcultures.

The stunning series of parallel portraits juxtaposes people from opposite ends of the cultural, ideological or socioeconomic spectrum, offering a subtle reminder of our shared humanity despite the clash and separation of our circumstances.

In America, the chasm between rich and poor is growing, the clash between conservatives and liberals is strengthening, and evil and good seem more polarized than ever before. At the heart of this collection of diptychs is my desire to remind us that we are all equal, until our environment, circumstances or fate molded and weathered us into whom we have become.” ~ Mark Laita

Westernized son of a dictator! Maybe there IS HOPE because this QADDAFI wants to do HOLLYWOOD!!!
Qaddafi Goes to Hollywood

And in the same way that the U.S. has been drawn to Libya for its most wanted export, Libya now wants a piece of America’s most undeniable commodity: Hollywood movies.

The investigation into Megrahi’s release has rekindled animosity toward the Qaddafis and Libya, and strained relations between Whitehall and Washington. What it doesn’t appear to have done, however, is put a damper on business with Libya.
