Ok so wtf is this sh*t? Are you telling me every thread or post I make will be "analyzed, reviewed" by some internet geek probably working for some data collection agency hell bent on knowing what I'm doing, especially the time when I'm wanking in front of my webcam so they can jerk it to fulfill their homosexual motives?

Wow! Talk about an invasion of privacy. WTF is omigli and are they a part of ISH or are they seperate and merely stalking like a b*tch?

There are many companies that do that. I worked on project for a company called Synthesio. Basically what they do is they monitor social media (e.g. twitter, blogs, news websites, forums) according to the criteria given by their customers, my task was to evaluate the sentiment of given article/forums post/blog/twit if it is positive, neutral, negative. And at the end of the month you make a report of significant data. I can recall several big auto brands working with them.

I believe CIA collects data from FB. Also Google spies heavily through their product, one good reason to ditch Chrome.

[iamgine]

I thought it's automatic no? The robot just detect certain keywords. For example, if there are many repetitions then they'd call it boring. If long discussion without swearing they'd call it positive, etc.

Its not that simple. I dont think that there are algorithms that can detect the contextual meaning of certain phrases and idioms, especially on message boards where people use slang and idioms. Their search engine can detect the words they want to, but usually cant make the cpu understand how different relate to each other. Anyway the job was real headache.

[MetsPackers]

damn dude werent you supposed to leave the forum wtf. how come its always the retards who make an 'im leaving and nobody try and stop me!!" thread only to not miss a single beat as far as spewing nonsense. looking for some validation hoping someone will call you a good poster so you can die happy? :oldlol:

he'll nitpick the part where i call his post nonsense

[IamRAMBO24]

apparently.

on the deleted thread "I'm about to leave this forum; convince me to stay" it says: "The overall tonality around the discussion is neutral. The discussion is quite engaging but isn't controversial. We find the discussion interesting and original. "

but most of the thread were didn't-read-lol gifs

but as usuall OP thinks somebody is stalking him.

this is a public message board which means that the public can read your messages....

You're an idiot if you don't think this data collection crap is relevant. Employers are using it to hire new employees, so don't you think it's stupid I may possibly not get a job because some black employer finds out I don't like rap music over a stupid internet forum? If they are looking at facebook to hire, there is no doubt they will start looking at this collection crap to do the same thing.

We don't know what they are going to do with this material, but the fact every thread is being read and review without our knowledge is creepy enough.

It's the same thing as me creeping on some hot girl's facebook and rate something like, "Ok today she's a 5 with that shirt on and it looks like she had a great time because she went to the mall with her mom and ate a hot dog" every single day on everything she posts.

Just because it's public knowledge doesn't mean someone has to creep the sh*t out of me with every move I make. It's creepy. Period. Who does this sh*t and why do they do it. The advertising excuse is just phony.

since you're obviously not able to use the internet, I've searched the wikipedia article for you: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omgili
you're welcome!

The fact a huge data collection agency rated my thread as "entertaining, fun, engaging" and gave it a 5 star rating shows beyond a shadow of doubt I am a huge asset to this forum despite the vitrol hate I get around here. These guys go through thousands of threads everyday and rate them like they are the internet geek version of rottentomatoes, so I wouldn't be surprise if I'm some internet celebrity in some secret internet society full of armchair nerds and geeks dying to get a sign autograph on a shirtless Rambo picture.

I need an agent.

If they take everything you say at face value (even if it is a joke), you can also post fake sh*t and make yourself look good. Just start making sh*t up like, "Damn so tired from chilling with President Obama. He won't leave me alone even though he's got a million things to do." "Why is Donald Trump blowing up my phone asking me to be his second in command running his entire company?" "Saved 10 kids from a burning fire today. Yup, hard to believe, but I was there, I heard screaming, went in there, and carried all 10 kids out. Got a slight burn on my b*llsack though, so that sucks."

Man if you think that is creepy look up how the USA'S government is spying on you using the Utah Data Center among other means. Here is some basic info from wikipedia:


The Utah Data Center, also known as the Intelligence Community Comprehensive National Cybersecurity Initiative Data Center, [1] is a data storage facility for the United States Intelligence Community that is designed to be a primary storage resource capable of storing data on the scale of yottabytes (1 yottabyte = 1 trillion terabytes, or 1 quadrillion gigabytes).

FTC hands down first fines over social-media data collection

Spokeo fined for improperly collecting and marketing data


The Federal Trade Commission has fined data collector Spokeo $800,000 in the commission's first case relating Internet and social-media data sold for employment screening purposes. In its investigation, the Commission alleged that Spokeo had violated federal law in compiling and selling information gleaned from social networking sites. As The New York Times reports, the $800,000 fine represents a civil settlement Spokeo reached with the Commission, though the company was not required to admit wrongdoing.

The FTC alleged that Spokeo had violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act in marketing consumer profiles without the assurance that its customers would use those profiles for legal purposes. The Commission further charged that Spokeo had failed to ensure the accuracy of its profiles or to inform customers of the company's federal responsibilities with regard to handling consumer data.

Spokeo was also said to have used fake endorsements in its marketing. These endorsements were posted on blogs and other websites by Spokeo employees touting themselves as users of the service.

From 2008 to 2010, Spokeo is said to have sold "coherent people profiles" containing information on individuals' likely income, home worth, marital status, approximate age, hobbies, ethnicity, social media site participation, religion, and many other metrics. Some of this information is available for free on Spokeo's site, but customers that paid for the service were shown more detailed information. Spokeo marketed its data collections to human resources departments, background screening services, and recruiters..

The Commission voted 4-0, with one commissioner not participating, to refer Spokeo to the Justice Department for possible further charges. In a statement on the company blog, Spokeo claims to have made changes to its site and internal business practices to remain in compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Spokeo claims it is not a consumer report company, but instead a technology company focused on organizing people's data for their own benefit.

Bingo! I was right again. What you say on here can affect your future employment, especially if it's a good career.

I also read somewhere your credit is affected by social media too and not just based on your debt (or lack thereof) and job (or lack thereof). Who you add as a friend on facebook (whether or not they have good credit) can either raise or lower your score. Scary sh*t. Well knowledge is power; if they are willing to take everything at face value, might as well lie through your teeth and make your online "credentials" look flawless.

Damn I'm sure as hell in the negative; time to start bullsh*tting my way back up.

[IamRAMBO24]

"The Commission further charged that Spokeo had failed to ensure the accuracy of its profiles ... "

That sh*t scares the hell out of me. Companies were using this background check based on false reporting about the stuff you say online? I wouldn't be surprise if a lot of people were denied good careers over a few jokes not meant literally.

So f*cked up.

They can tie you to your IP and cross check it with your email (or any other online profile like facebook) to identify who you are.

The ability for online ad and data collection companies to track users online can come as a shock to the average Internet user, he told the E-Commerce Times. However, by and large, these companies are rarely able to connect a specific individual with the online surfing habits they so eagerly collect.

That changes when someone visits their social media site, Wills explained. "Ad companies can connect the dots once you go to your site. Now they know not only what sites someone in my demographic category visits -- but, specifically, who is visiting them."

Until recently, in other words, they were able to collect only data that was anonymous and aggregated. The social networking sites provided the missing link -- establishing who is reading what news at CNN, for example, or who's buying what at Amazon.

Advertisers could conceivably track who's surfing which medical sites or who's looking for bankruptcy attorneys. This sort of information could wind up being very valuable to the online advertising industry, which is banking on a growth spurt in local and hyper-local online advertising.

The next step will be to start using friends' data, Wills said, noting that the one-off examples of companies leveraging friends' data for, say, credit scoring, may well be outliers for a wider trend in a few years.

"Certainly, Facebook's recent changes in privacy point to that -- now all of your friends are visible to anyone in the world," he noted.
Legal Issues

Social media data is increasingly finding its way into the courtroom, much to people's surprise and dismay, Misha Kerr, an intellectual property attorney with the law firm of Arnstein & Lehr, told the E-Commerce Times.

She told of a client who attended a house party in Florida during Spring break, only to discover that it was actually a filming party for an adult Web site. She hadn't signed any releases for her images to be used, but they wound up on a porn Web site, nonetheless.

Kerr's client sued for violation of privacy and damage to her reputation. The defendant countered with photos the client had posted to her social network that were risque, with the argument her reputation couldn't have been damaged too severely, given what she voluntarily posted.

"The moral of that story is what you think is a private page is not private, and you never know who has access to it," Kerr said.

The tracking works like this, sites you visit will have a cookie, say if you post on ISH, and then go to facebook, a "persistent" cookie can track you to your facebook page. Voila! You are identified. Emails can also easily link them to you, and of course your IPs, which ISH makes money off of based on the traffic this site gets, so if the company is paying ISH for the data, there is no reason why ISH wouldn't give them the IPs also.

You don't take this sh*t seriously? If my pristine credit score is being affected based on who I friend on facebook, that's some sh*t I would like to know rather than having to dig through the internet and find the fact hidden in some unpopular article.

If that is the case, then I'm going to have to start unfriending some people: my deadbeat uncle, my old friend who got injured and is on disability, which means he's probably jobless .... and oh yea, definitely all the mexican friends because I'm sure they aint got no money.

Sifting through data is very expensive. I remember my friends at TWC rejected Movie company requests based on the fact it was too expensive to search every person for certain things. I doubt a normal job has the ability to see what you posted on facebook to make sure you are not nuts.

Yea if you are applying for a job at Mcdonalds or some low paying job. there are multi-billion dollar companies willing to fork over the cash for this kind of data. I don't have a problem with that; what I do have a problem is the data is not entirely accurate and does not measure the "personality" of a person in real life. I might joke a sh*t ton on this site. It's my free time; I'm in my private home; so I'll joke around and say sh*t I normally would not say in a professional setting.

Your attempt at an insult is pathetic.

Insult 1: well you don't have to worry about that because you won't ever work at one (which I do btw).

Then your dumba*s follows up with:

Insult 2: McDonalds is a multi billion dollar company. There's still hope for him.

If you are going to insult, at least get your sh*t together old man. :facepalm Dude is saying I won't ever have to worry about the multi-billion dollar companies because they won't ever hire me, and you follow up with "Well Mcdonald's is a multi-billion dollar company, so he still has a chance." That doesn't even make sense. If I can't get a job at a multi-billion dollar company, then how the f*ck can I get a job at Mcdonald's dumbsh*t? At least be consistent.

It's all in good fun; it's harmless. I see talking to these guys like talking to my brother. We might crack jokes, put each other down, cuss at each other, but at the end of the day, we still love each other (well actually I love them, but they hate me due to their own sense of insecurity).

Really, it's the immature kids and nerds with no sense of humor who can't see the intent. Highly intelligent posters can see this. They see pass the colors and know it's all sarcasm. In fact, I'm perfectly content with a few posters I respect not sh*tting on my posts. I'm fine with the rest hating on me; they just don't get it and never will.

Their greatest downfall is thinking this is all a competition; thinking they need to PROVE to everyone they are smarter; they do this all the time, getting mad and sh*t, but in the end it's nothing but a waste of time. Sometimes you can't take sh*t so seriously online; sometimes you need to joke around and have a bit of sarcasm. They're just too stupid (with absolutely no life experience) to realize this. This forum is bombarded by little children around the age of 18-21 afterall.

since it looks like some people are believing what op is saying (:facepalm), I just want to add: this site does not store any threads or posts..... it's just a search engine for forums and stuff

it was, once again, some shit op came up with to confuse people





By Lauren Bayne Anderson

It’s the not so “new” thing. Potential employers (or current ones) looking at your Facebook page to glean information about your personal life—and make a decision on whether or not to hire (or fire) you!

Actually, companies have been doing it for a while now. Joe Bontke, outreach manager for the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s (EEOC) office in Houston, said 75 percent of recruiters are required to do online research of candidates and 70 percent have rejected candidates because of what they found, in a recent New York Times article.

But a few things have changed. And if you’re a job candidate, not necessarily for the better.

Some companies are now requiring potential employees to pass a “social media background check” before offering them a job. In fact, that’s all one company, Social Intelligence, does.

Social Intelligence will check a candidate’s Facebook page, Google, LinkedIn—in fact, they scour the Internet to dig up anything they can on job seekers within the past seven years—much like a financial credit check.

While the company’s report offers up accolades you’ve received and professional honors, etc., it will also show potential employers any questionable activity you’ve participated in online.

A recent New York Times article gave some examples of exactly what Social Intelligence has found that lead to job offers not being extended. “…one prospective employee was found using Craigslist to look for OxyContin. A woman posing naked in photos she put up on an image-sharing site didn’t get the job offer she was seeking at a hospital” the article said.

The New York Times article continued, “Other background reports have turned up examples of people making anti-Semitic comments and racist remarks…Then there was the job applicant who belonged to a Facebook group, “This Is America. I Shouldn’t Have to Press 1 for English.”

That last example, while not overtly racist, could raise concerns with potential employers that the candidate doesn’t like immigrants and may have some underlying racial issues. Even gray areas like this could potentially cost a job seeker the job.

Interestingly enough, the company told the New York Times that less than a third of the damaging information they find on candidates comes from social media platforms like Facebook. Instead, much comes from “deep Web searches that find comments on blogs and posts on smaller social sites, like Tumblr, the blogging site, as well as Yahoo user groups, e-commerce sites, bulletin boards and even Craigslist”, the New York Times article reported.

People may not even realize that comment they made on a list serve are public and can be found in a search. The good news is, the company requires the candidate to consent to the background check before it’s started—which could give you a heads up on removing anything you don’t want potential employers to see from your Facebook, Twitter or MySpace pages. But things like Craigslist posts, and anything that shows up when someone searches for you on Google could be tougher to take care of.

And while the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has declared the company is in compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and doesn’t violate privacy laws, the Social Intelligence goes one step further, claiming it actually HELPS potential employees by assuring the inquiring company doesn’t confuse the applicant with someone else they find online.

But while the FTC may not have a problem with what Social Intelligence is doing, the EEOC isn’t so sure. In the same New York Times article Bontke said that employers must be careful in what they find online. He said employers risks of violating federal antidiscrimination employment rules if they base hiring decisions on information found online that answers questions they are not legally allowed to ask in interviews.

“Things that you can’t ask in an interview are the same things you can’t research,” he said in the New York Times article, including information on a person’s age, gender, religion, disability, national origin and race.

However Social Intelligence says it doesn’t present any of that type of information to employers.

It's been going on for a while now.
