Its quite crazy how many automatically generated fake users you meet on facebook. And it is getting harder and harder to to actually tell they are fake.
I have collected two weeks worth of fake requests. And some even made friends of mine actually becoming friends with them.

Why are they there?
Basically: to sell them.

Have you ever searched for “buy likes on facebook” on the search engine of your choice? No? Do it.

A facebook account needs a few characteristics to make it valuable:

• friends
• pagelikes
• wallposts
• interactions

So how the hell do they manage to get friends?
It’s easier than you think. One example:
I study at Berlins Universität der Künste (University of Art) which is one of the biggest Universities in Germany. And that is what i say on my profile. The fake account simply mimics that it does the same and asks students of that university to become friends. And who says no to the new student (maybe even a decent, not too good looking girl) that you may have met in a course and you forgot about and she is working for a model agency? You see? A lot of people say yes.

Basically it works the same with big work places like car manufactures or just using the same city.

Pagelikes?
Yep, thats what they do. They like your page. For your money.
Will that make your “brand message” seen by more people? Hell no. Beware who you working with and stop trusting all those stupid numbers.

Wallposts?
Usually before they start collecting friends they have a few automated wallposts & status updates to make the profile seam real.
I have seen some profiles where they forgot to turn of the geo feature and it links the profiles to places like corsico. Weird for a chinese exchange student girl isn’t it?

Interactions/Actions?
At least they like some pages, post a status update, make friends. I was unable to find one that writes comments.

Should i buy pagelikes?
It’s illegal and they won’t interact or push your information anywhere. So don’t do it.
But: If you just started a page usually more people will like it the more likes it already has. Because the more people think its worth a like, the more trust this page earns. So yeah, it might make sense for your page but it is illegal, fake, you will burn in hell and you shouldn’t do it.

another year is over. so i thought i share some parts of my year with you.

I was ill the last four days and did pretty much, hmmm, nothing. Yes. Nothing.
But on the third day of illness (they don’t call me “the illest” for nothing) i did something really strange: i updated my blog from WP 2.3 to 3.1.
Did you see that coming? Me neither.
And i felt the urge to write something longer about random thingsandstuff than i do it on my tumblr.
Many things did change in my life since the last posts. I mean “freundevonfreunden” has launched? Two LeadAwards and going international later who could think that this project would generate such a buzz? Last party at “bar25″? Now there is the new tourist-techno-disneyland called “Kater Holzig”. The Berghain was underground and HTML5 was just released. And NoMoreSleep was not a coffee shop.
Now. Just 2 years later the world is so different.

So, lets use this blog again. Oh, and i think i will switch to English and Krautspeak will only be the fallback.
Hello World. Again.

Schon ein komisches Gefühl als ersten Post nach so einer Meldung eine Party anzukündigen, but the show must go on:

The Hideout 2009 – Back to Basics

Donnerstag, der 20.08.2009 till Infinity| Bad Kreuznach – Jahmarkt

Zurück.
Endlich.
Im verflixten 7ten (in Worten “siebten!”) Jahr.
Ein paar Dinge haben sich geändert — doch unsere Motivation ist
noch die gleiche wie zu Beginn. Wir haben damals mit “The Hideout”
begonnen um endlich wieder selbst auf einer Party zu landen, auf der
wir gerne gelandet wären. Mit echter Musik, echten Drinks und echten
Menschen. Mit Menschen wie Dir.
Sieben Jahre sind eine verdammt lange Zeit, das wurde uns sehr oft
bewusst, so einiges ist passiert. Wegbegleiter kamen und gingen.
Vieles ist nicht so gelaufen wir wir es uns gewünscht hätten – vieles
jedoch so viel besser als wir es uns je erträumt haben. Danke dafür!!!

Kommen wir zum Punkt: Wir haben uns euer Feedback der letzten
Monate zu Herzen genommen, es geht also: Back to Basics.
Wir bespielen das Versteck also wieder ab Donnerstag und freuen uns
darauf euch die kommenden Tage ab 20.00 Uhr begrüßen zu dürfen.
Musikalisch ist alles offen, von Electro zu HipHop zu Classics zu House:
we play music – not chart hits!

bis gleich //

Werd dich vermissen. Hoffentlich isses alles cool da wo du gerade bist. Bestimmt isses das. Danke für die Stunden.

i declare this saturday to be the official “those were the days of dnb” saturday. back then i thought dnb will change the face of music – but no one could know that instead the face of dnb changed to a drug fuiled wobble bassline 12pint of carlin raver.

still so blown a away by the depth of the old productions. thanks to guys like d.bridge for keepin this feeling of drums and bass alive.

Mein Beileid :D

Grüün – Krauthop EP
Tide und Comfort Fit releasen ihre EP (12 Tracks EP? – könnt das ruhig LP nennen) auf iD.OLOGY als Netrelease. Deutscher Rap auf Beats die irgendwo zwichen Flying Lotus und 8Bit-Rap liegen und sich eine Dreck darum scheren was momentan angesagt ist in Rap-Deutschland. Und das aus Mannheim. Gefällt.
