Ubuntu MeMenu to Encourage Social Media Broadcasting

“It seems that a huge segment of the world’s population has gone
Twitter and Facebook crazy. People are busy updating their
statuses, sending each other links, and trying to see how many
“friends” and “followers” they can get. We are becoming social
“broadcasters”, constantly bombarding our “friends” with 140
character chunks of information. In reality, these social networks
are all about making “ME” feel good about myself, tricking us into
thinking that people care about what we say … or maybe they
really do care?

“While sociologists are studying the effects of this social
network phenomenon and what it means for society, there’s no doubt
that social networks are big, really big! Not to be left out of the
bit “ME” craze, the upcoming Ubuntu 10.04 release will include the
“MeMenu.” The MeMenu will be your one-stop spot for sending out all
your social media broadcasts right from within Ubuntu.”
