I agree with you. But "Social Media is Bullshit" is hyperbolic and is also meant to attract attention as opposed to saying that social media in and of itself it bullshit. It just gives me the impression that you are using the very sales oriented half truth tactics that you are attempting to debunk to market your book.
I wasn't really trying to be rude. I just don't really understand what you are getting at. I suppose I should read your book. But this article does not clarify for me what your thesis is. People game social media + their are a bunch of hucksters out there hence social media is bullshit? What space doesn't have hucksters and gaming? I can't think of one..
@JoeDiNardo Keep in mind that this guy who makes his living debunking people who make their living talking about social media. I think the only business model here is pageview journalism. "Social media" and "dying" is great to have in a headline, but it appears that is as deep as it goes..
just a quick correction, GoPollGo raised $425K - not million.
@bgoldberg @2William Fascinating. That really puts it all in perspective.
Thanks for the insightful and poignet piece.
But has advertising really existed for "thousands of years"?
The colors are to similar to each other and do not create enough contrast.
@paulcarr @Jane_ish Do_ish Ha! This is what the comment section is all about you guys!
@sarahlacy @arrington That makes sense. But I think there are many ways that this will backfire on businesses who favor people with high Klout scores. I don't think the idea of getting different levels of customer service attention based on your Klout scores will ever play well with the average consumer.
To quote @arrington s blog post on Klout: "why?".
@Todd Dunning @richarddjordan @In_themiddle Thanks for the extra bit of hyperbole. Have a good night.
@richarddjordan @In_themiddle Yes. Paid shills are an important part of this. I want someone to find me a single scientists that has no connections to the fossil fuel industry AND disagrees with GW consensus. I am sure there are a couple. But very, very hard to find.
@Todd Dunning I don't understand the profit motives on the Left "argument". There is a multi-trillion $ fossil fuel industry that spends hundreds of millions a year on misinformation on GW (much like Big Tobacco did on health effects). Then there is a clean tech industry that is, at the most, worth 5% of the fossil fuel industry and spend about $20 Million per year on lobbying and PR etc. Maybe scientists get more grants for studying GW? Could amount to the possibly millions? It is really no comparison. The money is in fossil fuels, hands down.
If you don't "follow the money" with the fossil fuels industry and look at were "GW sceptics" get their money, then you are missing a big part of the picture.
{didn't mean to say anyone was not educated earlier. Just saying hearsay arguments ("my friend said") are not the best.}
@KenG @Todd Dunning Welcome to blog comment boards, where truth lives.
Seriously Todd. I think we are better than the anecdotal dismissal of 1000's of scientists publicly stated findings and opinions. This is Pando Daily- we are mostly educated readers here, I think. So leave the hearsay arguments for the hack political sites.
I do this already in a sense by routing a bunch of email accounts through gmail for different purposes. I even have one for Offers that have all the daily deals going to it. I think this idea makes sense because I have already been trying to create GoMail without knowing it.
You don't even need a Facebook or Twitter account.
