Kalash of Cultures - Pakistan: http://youtu.be/qEXnEfdvv6s The argument: 1. Watch the video; this Dardic mountain tribe plays polo. They fiercely fought for their independence through the ages, till the British arrived; at which point they adopted some British customs like playing polo on weekends (although they claim they invented the game first). 2. The Kalasha have lived in geographic isolation for so long that their DNA has diverged. But, there are markers to suggest that they come from around the Mediterranean(that is, that they are Dardic). There are 2 theories as to how they got there: a. They were travellers along the silk route who decided to settle in a scenic location and sell spices, apricots and cherries (the latter two do not grow in the subcontinent, only in the Mediterranean; and with no contact with the outside world for centuries, there's no other way they could've gotten these fruits) b. They are descendants of Alexander the Great 's armies; who ref...
https://www.blog.google/technology/safety-security/project-strobe/ - To give people a full opportunity to transition, we will implement this wind-down over a 10-month period, slated for completion by the end of next August. Over the coming months, we will provide consumers with additional information, including ways they can download and migrate their data.
ReplyDeleteHopefully to some online forum (Possibly hosted by Niantic) and someone elected to archive. https://support.google.com/plus/answer/1045788?hl=en
ReplyDeleteOr dare I suggest we move to Google Groups.
Though in all practicalities, I'm going to see what Niantic is going to do, and I may move to the social media platform they adopt in all honesty.
I am worried about Google Groups and Hangouts given the sunsetting of g+
ReplyDeleteKosh TheRipper Agreed - I know they had been trying Facebook and Twitter and I am not fond of either in terms of a community research function capacity
ReplyDeleteShould we look into stuff like diaspora and/or Vero ??
ReplyDeleteeven possibly reddit?
ReplyDeleteJoJo Stratton Rightfully so; Google has made every indication that they are not interested in these consumer-level tools. Hangouts for consumers hasn't received an update in forever, while hangouts for enterprise is getting regular support & updates. I expect Hangouts to be next on the block.
ReplyDeleteGoogle+ is the only social media I really use. Once its done, I'll probably have a bit more time on my hands for you tube. lol
ReplyDeleteWith the migration to anything you always see a loss, hopefully all the compiled data doesn't just go away.
The most secure platform is going to be Facebook who are now guaranteed a social media monopoly
ReplyDeleteJT Sadly I would have to agree. A few of the tools that dropped along the way FB still has. Based on the numbers I see it NIA next larger user base is already located there
ReplyDeleteJT I am not giving Facebook access to my life. I've already signed away everything to the Googles. Facebook doesn't have a better track record by any means.
ReplyDeleteEdgar Allan Wright H. Richard Loeb I want to hear your opinion.

G+ will likely go to an enterprise social media and continue that way.
ReplyDeleteIf so Operation Essex could become an enterprise for archive purposes.
Chris Cogan there is a monthly cost per user for enterprise. FYI.
ReplyDeleteMike Palumbo how much do you value the content?
ReplyDeleteHow much would that subscription be divided by the number of people in the community?
Chris Cogan It's $10 per user, per month.
ReplyDeleteChris Cogan that is the worst suggestion as it locks the average agent completely out. The ideal is that any agent can join the investigation and contribute, not limiting things via the installation of a pay gate.
ReplyDeleteKosh TheRipper Facebook may be the actual only alternative
ReplyDeleteMario Valenzuela II just throwing out the questions.
ReplyDeleteFacebook it is then
