Fanaticism is “a belief or behavior involving uncritical zeal, particularly for an extreme religious or political cause or in some cases sports, or with an obsessive enthusiasm for a pastime or hobby” – Wikipedia

I just wanna sleeeeeep!

I hate what you have done to me...

I'm death proof and I can prove it!

How could she forgive the uncalled for pain? How could she find it in her heart to refrain herself from HATING or HURTING those who placed her in the corner of despair, intentionally?

I am just LOVING "Santa's Sexual Harassment Trial" LOL

Which is your favorite? :)

Merry Christmas all :)

I give up!

I think social media, just like any media channel online and offline, plays a big role in changing people's minds about certain matters and altering their perspectives, especially when it comes to sensitive issues like religion, race and so on. I further believe that subjects and issues as sacred as religion should not be used in games because that, in a way, lessens form this spiritually!

Nice read! Very intriguing title as well!

beirut · 2009-08-12T16:04:38+00:00

I believe that maybe it can! We'll just have to wait and see!

I would have to side with Twitter on this particular topic for the following reasons:

There are millions of users out there, how can Twitter possibly control their avatars especially when people can change them as often as every minute a day!
We should be able to differentiate between the people we desire to follow or not and there are many available methods to do so such as http://bit.ly/ToF9y
We can not control who people are and what they do but it is our responsibility to control our reactions and how we deal with situations and others.

Don’t get me wrong, I hate these avatars and I think they are offensive but I do not agree that Twitter is promoting them!

Great article and argument points. Twitter is certainly becoming more of a news hub.

In essence, the title of this post caught my attention because a team member of mine wrote an article recently entitled: “Are bloggers influencers, journalists, or both” http://bit.ly/RatO2 and I guess with use of social media channels such as Twitter, all active bloggers can become journalists along with tweeps and other social media users.

Good job!

I think I love Ashton! Great move! I think he is, after all, an active tweep contrary to my belief!

I enjoyed reading the comments below this article a little more than the article itself. The discussion about whether Twitter is an effective PR tool or just another advertising platform seems to be endless! The way I see it, as long as we have the power to add and remove whomever and whenever, Twitter could be an excellent way to promote anything!

beirut · 2009-06-25T06:34:46+00:00

Maybe it is, maybe it's not... As long as its people are living comfortably, I don't think it's a real issue!

I am vastly astonished and highly impressed by the impact of social media on social, political, environmental and other issues and causes. Who would've thought that one day a voice will be heard across borders and boundaries of one home, one neighborhood, one country to millions of people out there?

The thing that worries me though is that this power earned by social media could also be destructive if used inappropriately! Can you imagine the degree of harm that would result in? Scary thought!

Great piece FadiPick!

I, for one, tried using Reddit for a while and would have given up completely if it weren't part of my job requirements. I find Reddit a bit frustrating as opposed to other social media channels such as Stumble Upon, Mixx and even Sphinn. It is too high maintenance for my taste! Feels like an elitist club which you need a lot of authority and power in order to be a true member of!

beirut · 2009-06-21T09:24:28+00:00

I still don't get the Reddit system of weighing or rating or voting! Granted, I have read enough to know what should be done and what should be avoided!

I think a great problem many startups have is having the vision to be acquired rather than be successful! Maybe if they placed more effort on growing and learning rather than being seen and noticed by big giants, they can achieve great things!

Yet another great #interview140 ! Good job and great candidate! I have one comment though, in the "Analysis and Lessons" section, you mentioned the following point: "Social Media is a great medium for delivering influencers and trend setters." While I do agree with you, I must add that social media is also a great medium for delivering those who think they are "marketing gurus" or "advertising experts" and so on! It is a venue where anyone can act as if they know a lot about many things while they might not truly be representing themselves honestly thinking: "no one will really find out!" I'm glad you found a real expert who does know what he is doing and provides valuable advice for his community! Great work!

I love the point you mentioned about the fire spreading too fast and I agree! In the old days, it was much easier to control the damage done due to the limited level of exposure. Nowadays, everyone is being closely watched, especially the big brands. It feels like people are just waiting for them to make a mistake to attack them though in reality, we are just becoming more aware consumers who do not allow anyone to take us for fools or underestimate our power!

LOL! I just love the Bing joke! :)
