Are You Mad Enough To Stop Using It? Can You Even Stop Using It?

Mad At Google? The Question Is: Are You Mad Enough To Stop Using It? Can You Even Stop Using It? http://www.crunchgear.com/2010/08/10/mad-at-google-the-question-is-are-you-mad-enough-to-stop-using-it-can-you-even-stop-using-it/

One of the many items discussed in the “brainstorm” documents: will Google create a “Like button” that follows you around the Internet, dumping all of that “like” data into a giant database that it then hands over to the highest bidder? What’s to stop it from doing so, and does that bother you?

Posted this ’cause it is interesting in its own right but also because of how the quest for the perfect collaborative filtering is still not achieved. I reckon someone might build it on top of everything. Open source would be best. Wikipedia style collaborative filtering network based on algorithms that know what you like because others like you like it.

Coaching Couples by Telephone

Not something I want to d, but email and other asynchronous methods might be a goer.  This discussion might be worth following up on.

Coaching Couples on the Telephone – Loving With Intention Articles:

This past week I had the honor of presenting to the Imago Think Tank* on the topic, Coaching Couples by Telephone. The participants and I had a lively discuss, and the featured article for this issue of The Conscious Relationship focuses on the telephone as a powerful medium for relationship coaching with couples and other clients who seek out the services of a relationship coach.

Karen Horney – Wikipedia – 10 needs

I see she calls these needs – I have always understood her points as coping strategies.

Hmmm…

Karen Horney – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

Moving Toward People

  • 1. The need for affection and approval; pleasing others and being liked by them.
  • 2. The need for a partner; one whom they can love and who will solve all problems.

Moving Against People

  • 3. The need for power; the ability to bend wills and achieve control over others—while most persons seek strength, the neurotic may be desperate for it.
  • 4. The need to exploit others; to get the better of them. To become manipulative, fostering the belief that people are there simply to be used.
  • 5. The need for social recognition; prestige and limelight.
  • 6. The need for personal admiration; for both inner and outer qualities—to be valued.
  • 7. The need for personal achievement; though virtually all persons wish to make achievements, as with No. 3, the neurotic may be desperate for achievement.

Moving Away from People

  • 8. The need for self sufficiency and independence; while most desire some autonomy, the neurotic may simply wish to discard other individuals entirely.
  • 9. The need for perfection; while many are driven to perfect their lives in the form of well being, the neurotic may display a fear of being slightly flawed.
  • 10. Lastly, the need to restrict life practices to within narrow borders; to live as inconspicuous a life as possible.
