Under what conditions (if any) should authorities be able to restrict social media/cell phone networks?

  6. This is cool: when you click on someone’s profile, Twitter now shows you which of the people you follow is following that person.

  7. This is how a brand uses social media to be funny, engaging, human, and, above all, useful.

  8. I am an angry man, which is one of the reasons I have resumed therapy and take four different pharmaceuticals. I wake up angry, stay angry during the day except to my dog and children, and go to bed angry at night. Most of my anger amounted to a running dialogue of abuse and self-abuse while working alone at home. But with Twitter, I now had an outlet. I used profanity, because that’s the way I talk, the perfect sentence being one in which the f-bomb appears as adverb, verb, adjective, and noun, as in, “You kind sir, go fuckly fuck yourself, you fuck of a fuckhead.” I also began to routinely apply the term “douche juice” to those I felt were sub-troglodytes. It has become my tweeting imprimatur and many Twitterites congratulated me on coining the phrase. I did not. But fuck it…I now routinely go on Twitter jags. I have indeed become a mini-blogger, somewhat ironic for someone who made an absolute idiot of himself on HBO’s “Costas Now” in 2008 by condemning sports blogs with all the grace of an elephant relieving himself.

    BBH Labs:

Not every activity will add value in the same way. The value may be rational, it may be emotional. A beautiful press ad can enhance my reading experience-no glossy magazine would be the same without them. A witty and provocative poster can enhance my journey to work. A useful piece of software can make my life easier or the things I love more accessible.  But we need to believe once again that our activities can enhance an experience and we need to set that as our benchmark.
