Facebook .. and privacy

The fact that Facebook is the antithesis of PRIVACY is well known, as the purpose is to share the personal information, like pictures, profiles, and what else with own "friends".
Then, it is also true that you can decide what to share and who to share with.

I 'm proud and sorry to say that I found that it is FALSE! In fact, it is possible to view any picture you have uploaded even if the user is not a Facebook's subscriber.

I 'm in doubt if it is a good idea to explain to you all, but you 'll find how if you are interested ;).

That's why I think Facebook is the worst product I 've ever seen in terms of user experience and implementation!!! Then its use and target is debatable.

Zurich ... Opernhaus and lake

Hi
still living in Zurich..and I 'm starting appreciating some Swiss habits.
Moreover, I was at the Opernhaus. It is really nice, and to have a walk along the lake into the park, I like it a lot, together with bicycle ;).

Human beings ...

Uhm, recently I 've met a lot of persons. Different cultures, different ages, a lot of human various beings.
And I 'm learning, at least thinking about world..too big maybe!..about people and public relations is much easier.
Maybe one of mine most common errors is creating an idea in my mind of the person I 'm talking with after few times I 've met him/her. This is called "prejudice" most probably. And this prevents me to understand and live that person.
I 'm learning day by day do not care about people behavior in some specific situations but only live the public relations and learn when some situations give the opportunity to learn, and forget if it doesn't.
I remember when I wrote this post about treasures of life, and now I 'm back to think about people, how much complex they are .. and how much beautiful they are.

Sorry for this maybe stupid but just a personal thought ;).

Zurich ... tram city.

Hi
after a month in Zurich still not breathing Swiss air, but experiencing a multicultural and anonymous city.
As a friend suggested yesterday evening, I have to live the Swiss Zurich joining Swiss locals and Swiss life. I agree it is the best way to be in touch with a city, living as a citizen not as a tourist.
Anyway until now, what I 'll remind thinking on Zurich is the dense network of trams. Efficient and characteristic trams. You can reach all the city areas jumping from one tram to another. If it still not enough, add a bus or a regional train as well :). A lot of possibilities to get a destination. Wonderful, no stress, just a little bit cold waiting at the stations. But trams and buses are well warmed.
