From the Blog herald: The recent issue that involved John Stewart on his unwarranted rap on social media or the new internet is a bit unwarranted for as the post in the Blog Herald says (by : Chris Garett), there are a lot of truths but also misconceptions about the whole social thingy. First, for example blogging, it started out as a medium on the internet where anybody who wanted to write about anything (mostly their pitiful lives and their utter uselessness roles in society), much like newspapers of days past which started out as mere advert pages that were finally congealed into a more compressed form that included advertising as well as some useful stuff to gain the interest of the reader. Get hold of any newspaper (if you can still find one) and what do you see? Headlines, articles, commentary and advertisements, wait a minute, ads. We’re getting warmer! Don’t tell me you haven’t earned a buck from social media(your bosses companies sure have!)
Now head to the couch and turn the TV on to watch a re-run of his performance(John’s), what comes after and in between takes, adverts. Almost alight! I mean we all love a laugh or two from time to time, who doesn’t? At this time in history when people are losing jobs, companies are closing shop and everybody else is saying that life is gonna get worse, a laugh would be nice. All the facts about social media is that it is surely aimed at two of many things, marketing and content. Take away content and you’ll get a glimpse of why blogging has become one of the most prevalent forms of social media, then comes twitter, which took social media to new heights and places on all those tiny devices. There are truly a ton of junk on the new internet, especially from social media sites and applications but all of this stuff are aimed at (ding……ding …..ding) like humanity, the right to expression. Don’t say he doesn’t blog or twitter himself, come on, everybody does. Now whether its for their love life, miserable life, community life, responsible life or whatever purpose they want their lives to become, they have the right to do it just as John has the right to ridicule our art, craft, trade and lives.
More power to you my friend, and may Twitter…. well, Twitter you back! Laughter is still the best medicine.
