Reality check: Twitter & Facebook put into context

hey, did you just read my facebook page ?!

There is something I don’t like about all this over-sharing. I’m sure the Zeitgeist guys could say something about it.

Nice to see you posting regularly again Dan!

Credit where it’s due: this was created by Jetpacks (wheresmyjetpack.blogspot.com). Now it’s gone viral without any love for the smart and funny guy who made it in the first place.

And where did you discover this? Facebook or Twitter?

HA! Excellent! At least blogs are still safe…

WWJEHT?

What Would J. Edgar Hoover Tweeted?

Have you ever considered making a blog post that doesn’t make you look like an asshole or offend half your blog readers?

@Derek – if you find this offensive you really need some help.
I use facebook, but if someone says its a waste of time (which it kind-of is), I’m not going to run away crying and feeling hurt.

Intelligent pic.

Very intelligent comments.

And then along came Derek.

Derek, your missing sense of humor has been located in a dumpster behind the Moscone Center. Apparently it’s been there since MacWorld 2004.

The people that will be in control will be the ones who never used social networking sites, used e-mail and IM sparingly or with high encryption or have next to no postings on the internet. At all. Complete cyphers. Think about it.

ok, you’re two for two here – guess I’ll start checking this blog more often again. after all, i only want to laugh….

So, Derek, what did you have for breakfast this morning?

Ripley drags Derek’s slack and unresponsive body towards the airlock.

Once again loser Dan bashing web 2.0 companies like Twitter and Facebook because in real like he’s a failure who can’t make any money online. He also wants to see the US economy & stock market fail.

>>>Complete cyphers. Think about it.

Nah. They’ll be from The Dollhouse.

And mad composites.

You will fear our Composited Overlords.

Couldn’t say it better

The only worthwhile use for Twitter is as a publicity platform. I use it to notify people about my blog posts, and make random idiotic updates to get more followers. As for Facebook, it’s actually starting to replace e-mail among my age group(18-24) and I think that is sad(Since these sites are basically ways for marketing companies to obtain detailed and specific demographic information, and reduce privacy to such a degree that one can expect advertisements that include their name, address and an accurate list of interests.) People used to understand the internet, now we just have people posting useless information whenever the mood strikes them.

How far we have come and how far we have yet to go.

“Grandpappy, you mean you actually spoke into a piece of plastic”

That’s just too funny (I say this as I spend the evening reading blogs instead of a good book.)

Twittering, facebooking and bullshitting is the new distraction for the masses, the new Bread and Games.

Fellas, economy is in the shitter, leadership is all gone (even Obama was shopping for a dog), financial geniuses revealed themselves as fraudsters or incompetents (except when it comes to interior decoration).

While you are being fed to RSS feeds and into the system to pay for bailouts, just keep on fuqing twittering.

It makes a lot of sense.

I thought I might be a twitter guerilla terrorist – I set-up an account called ‘twaggot’ – piss people off.
Too much effort for a joke, I think I might just keep it and share my breakfast with the world.

Gol-dang, I’ve gone viral.

Now, how to monetize these 15 minutes of Internet fame…

Thanks to Vancouver’s own Andy Jukes for the link love above.

Thank you!

I just can’t figure out why people do these things. Sure, I enjoyed watching people like iJustine drink coffee, but why do that, or upload pictures, or “tweet” what you’re doing every 15 minutes. Oooooh, I’m going to bed now, let me update my status on facebook to reflect that. Just today, I was invited to some “online birthday party” on facebook, and promptly ignored it. I was asked why I ignored it, and said because it’s not even a real party. Will there be cake that I can physically eat? Nope. And contrary to popular belief, it’s cake, it’s in my hand, so it becomes my piece of cake, and yes, I can in fact eat it too.

New Words:
Tweetybirds – obsessive Twitter posters who report every mundane detail and thought in their lives.

Sylvesters – people who don’t “get” Tweetybirds. Usually non-using pundits or tech fogeys or snobs.

Cranes – users constantly checking for any Tweetybirds latest tweets, usually “craning” their heads over their mobile devices.

BULLETINBULLETINBULLETIN: MARISSA MEYER,despite constant denials, is preparing to exit Google and go straight to Apple, on or after June 30, 2009.

It’s certainly about this banal stuff, but also about much more. When I look at most tweets I read from the people I chose to follow, they are informative and often save me time finding information myself. Most of social media is about more than what’s on the surface and easily lampooned for a quick sound bite.

Doonesbury joins the Twitter lampoon party late

I love this story, both Facebook and Twitter attempted to blow smoke up each other’s asses, sort of a état gazeux soixante-neuf.

Crap need to repost:

Great! Is Dilbert and Snoopy going to start tweeting, too?

Twitter fails @ SXSW

Nah! Seriously future will be more like these folk dancers from Goa…

The Online CSM creams itself over latest Twitter “innovation”. What’s wrong with CB Radio? IM? Cable television? I’m such a Sylvester ….

After research, I decided Twitter should be used by professionals and performance artists, 99% of celebrities should be banned from ever using it
Oh and here’s a Slate.com link on celebrity Tweets.

Pleeeeeease repost this. It was good enough to be the next Get Your War On.

Hey, thanks Dan. And welcome back!
