With clock ticking down to launch, UNTHINK in position to recover Facebook fumbles

A new football-themed video released today by UNTHINK illustrates one more way Facebook has dropped the ball by intruding on users.
(PR NewsChannel) / August 25, 2011 / TAMPA, Fla. 

In a new attack video UNTHINK continues to pound Facebook’s illusion of “free” and exploitive business “logic.” In a new attack video, UNTHINK continues to pound Facebook’s illusion of “free” and exploitive business “logic.” Continuing with the virtual housing crisis metaphor, UNTHINK describes the fight with Facebook as one about ownership and freedom, calling people to emancipate themselves from Facebook’s unfair and deceptive business practices.

The video is posted on UNTHINK’s YouTube channel (http://youtu.be/SepXOv4WL30).

UNTHINK (www.unthink.com) asks Facebook users to consider the following:

Think about it.  What was the value of a blank Facebook page when you settled on it? Zero. What was the value of that same page after you deposited your life on it? Huge! In fact, all the value that Facebook commands today is the sum total of these pages that YOU made valuable. And what did Facebook give you in fair value exchange? NOTHING. They are playing us all for fools. They are turning us into indentured servants, using us to make money, constantly subordinating us to their agenda. They are repeatedly dropping the ball by showing no respect to us or the value we brought them and by continually using and abusing us.

Facebook has the whole world convinced that since their service is “free,” users must tolerate intrusive ads – one of the many abuses. After all, is there a better way?

Unthink about it. You deserve to be able to socialize without being exploited or having to put up with intrusive ads. You deserve it, in exchange for the value you bring to any network. And if Facebook had done their job right and thought things through, instead of looking to cash in quickly, they would have found a way to make money while at the same time respecting their users. “And that’s why we at UNTHINK spent over three years building UNTHINK.com; to offer you a real alternative, a CHOICE that is not only FREE, but also allows you to maintain your FREEDOM, “ said Natasha Dedis, UNTHINK founder and CEO.

“So, facing this crossroads, what are we going to do? Are we going to continue building on Facebook’s dictatorial domain? Are we going to continue building our virtual houses on lots we don’t own? Or, are we going to burst Facebook’s bubble and regain our autonomy, ownership and freedom?

“It is up to you. If you believe Facebook is invincible, unthink it. YOU gave Facebook its power and YOU can take it away.”

–Natasha Dedis, founder & CEO, UNTHINK

“It is up to you. If you believe Facebook is invincible, unthink it. YOU gave Facebook its power and YOU can take it away.”

Looking Backward from a User Perspective
Social media until now:
-A popular activity spoiled by a business ‘logic’ that clashed with users
-Compromised their privacy
-Plagued by endless redesigns
-Profile pages turned to commercial junkyards
-Ever-changing terms of use
-Segmented into multiple one-dimensional niche networks
-Unable to live up to its core promise of empowerment
-Lacked a strategy to stimulate collaboration between people and brands
-A non-transparent business, which used people as guinea pigs in its pursuit to exploit the social graph for profit

Looking Backward from a Brand Perspective
Social media until now:
-Consumed by privacy controversies
-Forced brands to build pages and fan bases they didn’t own
-Deleted accounts at will
-Subordinated brands to ever-changing policies and constantly dictated terms of use
-Segmented into multiple on dimensional niche networks
-Kept brands hostage to an unrealized promise of direct engagement
-A ‘business’ without a sustainable business model, which used brands as guinea pigs in its futile pursuit for profit
