End of Turkish tweets. One day ago, lots of people in Turkey were tweeting about #Ferguson, so I needed to update folks a bit.

@terryheick Well, in the end, there is a human on the end of all. Yes, even Justin Bieber. I know hard to empathize but people are people.

Facebook’s selection for News Feed is based on previously shown preferences, with the EdgeRank as the malefactor of filtering: “EdgeRank demonstrates the paradox in the race for relevancy. To provide relevance, personalization algorithms need data. But the more data there is, the more sophisticated the filters must become to organize it. It’s a never-ending cycle.”
The 'You-loop,’ as Pariser aptly calls this tendency, makes our world literally and figuratively smaller. It deprives us more and more of encounters with unexpected sites, opinions and people. The online life becomes predictable indeed.

imaginary cosmopolitanism
A villainous question: who is interested in Pariser’s book? Perhaps those who believe that it fuels their own opinion and interests? Is the buying behavior of this book thus also the result of a ‘filter bubble’?
Pariser readily points to the following statement by Mark Zuckerberg: “A squirrel dying in your front yard may be more relevant to your interests right now than people dying in Africa.
Daddy Pariser then rushes to the window. His son asks: “Don’t you have to watch the news?” Pariser replies: “No, it’s only about Africa, after all.”
We have been filtering for a long time already. I see this narrowing of information not as a problem, but as a logical reaction. With the advent of the internet, the number of available sources has increased enormously, as well as the speed of news.
the equivalent information and preferences of another billion people. Just think, one billion people with a Facebook passport
what might change with 7 bill... while dancing with ie: twitter...
The algorithm formerly known as EdgeRank
Every day, more than 1.5 billion requests for attention (updates, comments, photos) are flooding over Facebook’s pages. Just within the Like economy, 2.5 billion likes assemble and fade away each day in the Facebook universe.
Needless to say, not every expression catches attention, and not every Friend’s posts, or organization’s updates that you are subscribed to, can all make it into your News Feed (otherwise it would be an almost unreadable rapid stream of data).
But the exact codes are kept under wraps by Facebook and Google; otherwise advertisers would exploit and de-legitimize the information aspect of searches, however personalized.
so same.. but to lesser degree by fb and google

Only China and India have more identities registered in one governed space. Here arises the first virtual empire, unless Facebook keeps on making costly mistakes….
Simonite emphasized the holy of research within Facebook in this quote: “Whatever happens, Marlow says, the primary goal of his team is to support the well-being of the people who provide Facebook with their data, using it to make the service smarter. Along the way, he says, he and his colleagues will advance humanity’s understanding of itself.
That echoes Zuckerberg’s often doubted but seemingly genuine belief that Facebook’s job is to improve how the world communicates.” Simonite continued with: “Just don’t ask yet exactly what that will entail.”

As a black person in America, it's getting exhausting to still have to explain, in the year 2014, your right to exist in this country. To explain that you are a human being whose value sits no lower than anyone else's. To explain our basic humanity.
"I fully expect that when video footage is found (dashcam or otherwise), Mike Brown will have done nothing that could warrant a reaction with fatal force, but people will still look and nitpick to find some breach of etiquette — seeming disrespectful, not responding quickly enough, jerking away from the cop — and say, "Well, of course he got shot!" A very scary proportion of the population responds to any police killing with logic that seems a lot like "If you're not treating a cop as a demigod, you should expect to die.""

Regardless of the specifics of Mike Brown's case its clear that incident was a catalyst for feelings that run much deeper on both sides.
"...shot at least six times, including twice in the head.." Twice in the head. Twice. nytimes.com/2014/08/18/us/… #Ferguson
So, yes, part of what's going on is that the only signal you can given of Facebook is "like." How can you "like" a post about a dead boy?
