NSFW: After Fort Hood, another example of how ‘citizen journalists’ can’t handle the truth

  • Her behaviour had nothing to do with getting the word out; it wasn’t about preventing harm to others, but rather a simple case of – as I said two weeks ago – “look at me looking at this.”

The Way We Live Now - Going Offline in Search of Freedom - NYTimes.com

  • I’m not wishing the Internet away. It has become so integral to my work — to my life — that I honestly can’t recall what I did without it. But it has allowed us to reflexively indulge every passing interest, to expect answers to every fleeting question, to believe that if we search long enough, surf a little further, we can hit the dry land of knowing “everything that happens” and that such knowledge is both possible and desirable. In the end, though, there is just more sea, and as alluring as we can find the perpetual pursuit of little thoughts, the net result may only be to prevent us from forming the big ones.

Can Twitter Be Saved? | The Big Money

  • the volume of material that Twitter unleashes now puts impossible demands on its users' time and attention. The problem, in a nutshell, is information overload. The more Twitter grows and the more feeds Twitterers follow, the harder it gets to mine it for what is truly useful and engaging.
  • he small number of people clicking on that link seemed to me an early sign that we've reached a point of Twitter saturation, in which the result of more people following more feeds adds up not to more communication but more noise.
