Igor The Troll

Let me clarify myself before you think me as fallen of the Moon or snorting Glue.

Social Media freedom of expression the way we see it now will come to an abrupt stop. There clear signals for that direction already today. The Telecoms Data Caps evolving in the USA The lurking end to Net Neutrality where only selected Internet Websites will be feed to subscribers.

The day is coming mark my words. We are at the throats of Mass Media an Corporations. We are parasites to them! An attacking virus that wants to infiltrate their risk controlled environment. While a few of them are opening up to integrating Social Media with Mass Media, they are just doing it superficially. They cannot and will not open up to the utopianism of free unassailed and unbiased journalism.

They need to control and manipulate the information to the public for their own special interests. That is how Mass Media has always worked through history. Garbage in Garbage out! Mass Media feeds sensationalism and at times reports some Half Backed Truth calling it news!

Hello? Am I getting through to you? Mother Ship calling Mother Earth! We are Social Media Warriors, we attack their existence questioning their every move! We are Social Anarchist,. At certain times of our Free Loving Democratic America, we would be arrested and tried for communism! Remember Douglas Macarthur.

I hope I got you scared as shit and have you thinking about my Rant! How long will it take before Social Media is regulated, controlled and sterilized for the needs of the Mass Media, Corporations, and Governments? Well it is all depends on our ability to engage the False Prophet!

Do not give up. If there is a will there is a way! Use Social Media to advocate changes. Make the news and Mass Media will report it! Do not squabble among each other trying to prove who’s Ego is more inflated or in layman’s terms who is the Bigger Tool. ol

In my opinion what will make this even inevitable is some grave impetuous as a War in Iran. During wars information must be controlled at all costs. Just ask Joseph Stalin. He is the King of Propaganda and Social Engineering.

So good luck, there are no rules in War, and take no prisoners!

Criticism of Society is Not Free Speech

DigiDave: Journalism is a process not a product!

Twitter Robert Scoble aka Scobleizer reports China, Eastern Sichuan earthquake in real time, 3 minutes before USGS NEIC reported it on their Website.

Robert Scoble

Would you Trust this man reporting the Evening News to you, least of all an important event as the Earthquake in China Eastern Sichuan?

China Earthquake Devastation

Yes, anyone can report anything on Twitter, but things need to be verified not taken per say. We do not want someone sending a Twitter message saying that Iran’s President Mahmud Ahmadinejad has attacked Israel with nuclear missiles, and based on this information President George W Bush declares Defcon one and retaliates against Iran with a nuclear missile strike.

So while Twitter is useful to disseminate information, that information needs to be verified through professional journalistic channels before take per authoritative value.

Robert Scoble picked up a Tweet from a Twitter user in China and has reported the even to other Twitters. There is nothing worg with this, and it is admirable. This is what Twitter does. It is an Echo Chamber! “You say, I say, we say!” The message bounces around!

The Truth and validate of the message needs to be verified or it can start World War Three based on some Rumor!

In the China earthquake case USGS NEIC is the verifiable agency! They have reported the Eastern Sichuan earthquake 3 minutes after Robert Scoble did on Twitter. But that is their job to check the integrity of the data before making it public.

Robert Scolbe has bragged about “Reporting the news first on Twitter!” Twittering the earthquake in China on his blog.

Robert Scolbe has bragged about it on WebProNews Twitter To Report Quake In China reporting his own article.

Businessweek.com links to the WebProNews in its own article Why Twitter Matter without one word of constructive criticism to the integrity of Twitter data.

BBC reports on its Website how smart Robert Scoble is. Twitter and the China earthquake. Again no word of criticism about the validity of Twitter data transmitted by anonymous users.

I am sure there tons of Main media Websites and news services that are given great review to Twitter, as if it is a new Panacea - the cure of all malice. Well it is not!

Only one person in social media besides me stood up and criticized Robert Scoble of his exuberance. It is Danny Sullivan the chief editor of Search Engine Land in is his article. Twitter Beats (Wow, By 3 Minutes) The USGS With China Earthquake News

I emailed BBC alerting them of this Spamming and abuse of the devastating suffering of the China earthquake people. But I doubt if they care. In the new age of journalism, it is report first and sell the news, true, false, inflated, has no relevancy.

Remember the recent “Teenagers buying hookers with dad’s credit card!” story? That was a fake propagated by an Internet Marketer for a British newspaper.

News is Integrity, let’s follow the process!
