Media Twits -- Part IV

My apologies for the tardiness of this, the most important news story each day: Facebook v Twitter. For those who have followed my analysis, this column each day shows how many "news" stories feature Facebook and Twitter on GoogleNews.

Reporting on everything that happens on social networking (SN) sites is an unusual paradox.

Firstly, considering that 90% of the world's population (not an accurate statistic) lives on the bloody thing, you would presume there would be no need to report on SN because we already know what's going on in the SN because we spend all our time on the SN.

It's much like the media reporting on the media, superfluous and lazy.

Anyway the score as at 1.39pm is:

Twitter 118,416

versus

Facebook 96,530

BEST OF THE BEST

TWITTER: US tennis big mouth Andy Roddick has slammed US Open officials for trying to regulate the player's tweeting before or during their matches. US Open officials claim it could contravene anti-corruption regulations. Roddick however twitted on Twitter: "I think it's lame the US Open is trying to regulate our tweeting."
We all think it's lame that you feel people care about your tweeting and the fact is, shouldn't you be concentrating on the game and not tweeting to your "fans"? Don't Twit for me Argentina when you are bundled out in the quarters because you thinking about your next 144 characters.

FACEBOOK: IBM have patented a social networking remote control so "couch potatoes" can Facebook and Tweet without having to get out of their lounge chairs. Did anyone see the movie Wall-E when all those humans were shunted into space only to become obese lard arses unable to lift their own body weight? Art imitating life or art hitting the nail on the head?
