Journalists that raid social networks like Facebook and Twitter, not caring about community, will face a backlash. There is a difference between “exposing the truth” and straight out dirt digging by sourcing content from “open” discussions and taking it out of context to sell advertising. These teachers are suing a newspaper for printing private Facebook…
Some statistics around Australian use of social networks such as MySpace Facebook Twitter and other social media sites in June 2009.
I’m always interested in Film and TV – and we had an interesting discussion the other night on the social network, Twitter about EPG (Electronic Program Guide). The sheer – and there’s no other word for it but ‘hatred‘ – people have for EPG abuses by TV stations was obvious. It seems that ALL the…
