what a crock. the only thing this punk did was copy myspace, friendster and all the other social networks that were already out there and then use advertising to steal their customers.
it's about as interesting and "ingenious" as Burger King starting up to compete with Mcdonald's.
Burger King didn't invent fast food or the hamburger. it just came into an already established market and advertised.
the only thing facebook is good for is having your personal info logged by the government. the more you tell your "friends" about yourself, the more Big Brother knows about you. it's worse than checking a book out of the library in terms of allowing the government to profile you.
the more people "share" their likes and dislikes and spread their personal and private thoughts and activities with total strangers over the internet, the more we lose our privacy and open ourselves up to control by big business and the government.
why would anyone give this person that much control over their life? he has proved that he will buy and sell you to increase his bank account. there is nothing altruistic about it. it's a business. an invasive business.
if you want to tell your friend or family something personal, TELL them. why are you getting second parties involved in your personal life?
DALTON, Mass. — The town's popular Dalton Day festival is returning this weekend after a year's hiatus.
The event will kick off this Saturday at 11 a.m. and runs until 4 p.m. in the field in front of the Senior Center.
The community celebration was established in 2023 by the Cultural Council in an effort to increase resident participation at town meetings while also showcasing the area's welcoming, diverse, artistic and sporty atmosphere. In 2024, the event brought together 300 residents.
"The primary mission of Dalton Day is to foster a strong sense of community, build civic pride, and bring residents together through a shared celebration of local culture, music, and food," said Jeannie Ingram, Select Board member and cultural council chair, and Lori Venezia, executive assistant to the town manager.
The event provides an accessible and free platform for "civic education, community bonding, and supporting local businesses, artisans, makers, and culture more broadly," they said.
The festival strengthens the fabric of the town both civically and economically by connecting grassroots organizations with residents, fostering a shared sense of belonging, and providing free, family-friendly entertainment.
It also serves as an opportunity for community members to meet with local officials and a couple of state officials. State Sen. Paul Mark and state Rep. Leigh Davis will be coming from Beacon Hill to speak at the event.
