Can we also note that Penn didn't say that the 15-20% of his business that is digital involves teenagers sitting in basements all day blogging? There are successful digital practitioners (note that I didn't say "social media experts") out there who are over the age of 18. Some whom might be worth interviewing here...

Not exactly sure how using a consumer-friendly chat program that has been available since 1995 makes you a "social media expert" given that there's more to digital strategy than just having hours of conversations with a limited circle of friends online, but hey, maybe there's something to it if the "ze biggest [agency] in all ze verld" has decided this is the way to go...

Does anyone else think it's unlikely that AT&T's network will be able to handle all of the additional usage resulting from the MMS update to the iPhone?

Seamus,

Wasn't trying to sound elitist and I apologize if it came across that way. Simply put, when I was applying for graduate school to study Medieval Europe, I had to make clear that I had an understanding of Latin in order to be accepted into the program.

Also, if the online story had to be crowdsourced, then I did miss that part of the article.

They could be if someone you know is religiously reading them and lets you know about it. But honestly, how often does that happen?

Since only people who know you are the ones who'll be tagging you, I don't think it's necessary for bars to ban digital cameras, etc. I'd just simply tell my friends to use their common sense and not worry about the photos I'm in that I'll never see.

Re: Why social media makes things worse than they really are.

I'm just comparing what I saw during the early days of blogging in New York and the still "sort of early" days of Twitter. More people used to blog about more minor things. In fact, one party could be blogged multiple times. Eventually, that gave way to sites that covered parties entirely, GuestofaGuest, Just An Online Minute, etc. I think the same thing could happen to Twitter.

Over time, as social-media tools like Twitter become more established, I think that we'll see fewer people repeating the same small items like Tumblr going down and more of a focus on unique events, thoughts, and comments that give users' friends, fans, followers, etc. something to think about.

Kristin is absolutely right. Unless you're a big fan of Red Bull and making one-hour "cameo" appearances, there's certainly no way to attend everything. Some, however may try. ;-)

They obviously did nothing legally wrong. They did what they always do. Capitalize on a scandal to drive page views and generate ad revenue.
