The Class of 2011

What if social media were a high school? That's the question Ethan Bloch tries to answer by slotting in the "types" of networks into his "yearbook". Where would you fit into this system? http://www.flowtown.com/blog/class-of-2011-if-social-media-were-a-high-school?display=wide -via Monkeyfilter

Flickr should be The Photographer, while DeviantArt should be The Artist. As for me, I would either be the English major or the A/V Geek, so maybe Wordpress/YouTube Hybrid, which I tend to be anyway... wow.

I thought comment pages were there specifically to keep the [WATCH THE LANGUAGE, ALAN!] from causing trouble on the streets.

The one I miss is the Internet Movie DataBase forum (IMDb). It was a goldmine of information, insight, humor, analysis, support and intelligent criticism, with just a bit of crazy. Then, one day, the Powers-That-Be decided to chop it, and life became less fun. I blame the advent of Mr Trump, whose supporters spam-warred with the bashers.

Eliminating comment sections at pretty much all news sites would be an excellent step in fixing society as we know it. Nearly all comments on Fox, CNN, The Washington Post, et. al, are worthless. I don't believe for a minute that those sites use comments to encourage open and constructive dialogue. If it was my site, I'd be embarrassed by what was being posted and would have shut it down.
