Why does the media feel it needs to tell me about social media?

It's like, yeah I know, I have the facebook on my computer, and my phone and my tablet, 40 people have posted it in the last 3 hours.....I know it's popular.

Who the fuck doesn't see this shit? and so what if they don't? it's like the whole fucking country has FOMO.

Imagine what mighty happen 3 months down the track when someone makes a reference to it AND YOU DON'T GET THE JOKE! AAAAAHHHH NOOOOOOOOO!

[Obble]

I don't use social media, so i thought it was a very good idea.

haha yea it's pretty sad how irreverent some of the internet newsites are getting a lot of them are reduced to reposting the top reddit and facebook stories.
I feel like a lot of new journalism grads must be tasked at searching the internet for cool stuff all day, not a bad job for some I guess but I wouldn't call it journalism.

But even you're evening news tell you how many likes a page has, right before it goes through the roof cause everybody who watches the news hops on facebook looks up the page and likes it, and then it'll gain more because it'll pop into the newsfeed of everybody who didn't watch the news and they'll like it too.

Then you sell the page off to a dodgy south american organisation who spam it with links to their websites and make a sweet buck.

[Apostrophe Spacemonkey]

Likes and shares drive more people to the website, which means more money from advertising.


It's may not be journalism, but it's good business.



And Chris Hadfield is awesome.

[Bounty Hunter]

And Chris Hadfield is awesome.

He so is, in this case I'm not so outraged because the world, especially the impressionable socially networktarded youth, need guys like Chris Hadfield to compete for twitter space against the 14 million fuckwits they worship, so the more coverage guys like Chris and the ISS can get the better.
