Zuckerberg wants kids on Facebook

Despite objections, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg wants to turn his social notworking site into an all you can eat buffet for groomers by letting kids younger than 13 to have access.

Zuckerberg thinks that kids can learn shedloads from other children, and he told the NewSchools Summit in California that Facebook is the place to do it.

At the moment, Facebook does not allow kids younger than 13 to sign up.

However it was recently revealed that 7.5 million Facebook users were younger than that.

A Consumer Reports study shows that millions of young Facebook users may have lied about their age to get access to the social networking site.

Last week, the US Senate Commerce Committee heard comments about how Mark Zuckerberg lacked social values and that the founder was focused on his business model instead.

The result was that panel chairman John Rockefeller dared to suggest Zuckerberg lacked social values and is more focused on making his business bigger, faster and better than anybody before him.

Zuckerberg is currently forbidden to carry out his cunning plan by the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), which says that children under 13 are not allowed to join an online service which collects user information data.

But Zuckerberg says younger children will join networks like Facebook. He said that it would be a fight his company to take on at some point. He equated the use of Facebook as education, and to do that you need to start at a young age.

We are not quite sure what Facebook could teach you, however it does leave the possibility that Facebook will provide a lot of snaps of kids to those who probably should not have them.

Bunun sebebinin analitik düşünceye ihtiyacımızın olmaması mı, tembellik mi, kısa vadeli düşünmemiz mi yoksa insanüstü tahmin ve öngörü yeteneklerine sahip olmamız mı emin değilim. "Y ou can’t manage what you can’t measure " - "Ö lçemedeğiniz şeyi yönetemezsiniz " Her ne kadar bu söz, günümüze yanlış bir şekilde aktarılmış olsa da, kendi içerisinde kısmi bir doğruluk barındırmakta. Aslında bu söz ile anlatılmak istenen, ölçerek herşeyin yönetilemeyeceği fakat sonuçları iyileştirmek için süreçlerin ölçülmesi ve takip edilmesinin önemli olduğudur. Sözün asıl sahibi W. Edward Deming, verinin ve gözlemin önemini aşağıdaki sözüyle çok güzel bir şekilde anlatmaktadır....

A Creative Way to Meet Investors - UberX

Have a cool startup idea, and want to get it funded? You could go the traditional route, blindly sending your pitch deck to every VC in Silicon Valley. Or you could follow investors on Twitter, hoping that through casual badinage you can win the hearts (and eventually, the wallets) of your startup's money source. Or maybe, just maybe, you should drive for Uber. UberX Lowers The Bar Yes, Uber, the popular mobile app that connects drivers with people who need a lift. Founded in 2009 as UberCab, Uber has become the go-to app for hailing a sedan in markets like San Francisco, New York City and London. And while historically Uber operators have been commercial sedan drivers filling time between jobs their employer provides them, Uber's introduction of UberX in July 2012 has opened the service to cars and drivers of all kinds. This means that not only will you be picked up in a Toyota Prius or Volkswagen Jetta instead of a Lincoln Town Car, but you're also going...
