with any big project choices are made. what services or formats to include, what to exclude. you tube has replaced gifs plain and simple. they are a romantic relic of the past. you know, three years ago past, but past. dump-fm can be read as a nostalgic gif ghetto for like minded enthusiasts. how do you expect an "effect" technology from a narrow time span to stay main stream relevant outside of an artificially supported site? i like what you do with gifs and that they exist but i dont expect them to have the same meaning now as when they had "dial-up" use value relevance. using your terms loosely, they now embody their own tragicomic limitations. not a gotcha moment, just trying to keep important road markers in place and terminology consistent.

i could care less if you are on board w/ fb outside of its limitation on your knowledge and assumptions of how it works. i cant see where you have shown that fb is any more dangerous for artists with image handling than the net at large. its freakin' free w/ a caveat. just like the rabbit ears tv ( w/ commercials) that we grew up with.

as for being a fb apologist. ha! im more interested in the weaknesses in your proclamations of good technology and evil technology. i dont have a dog in this one, you do.

*fb is fucked for sharing user info they said was confidential which is a policy matter not a format problem. everyone knows that. see the movie yet?
