Thursday Axillaries
From Alexander:
Who says research can’t be fun?
Adage has a new article based on a Study from Mindset Media, looking at the personality types that gravitate to several popular TV shows, and what sort of products they would likely relate to. The Onion’s AV Club has a much more interesting breakdown of the same study.
From Jacquie:
What’s the most common internet activity? Email. But an eMarketer article reports that despite Social having 26% less users than email worldwide, those who are on social sites are on them for much longer. Are we surprised…not really, but this article definitely leads into the below video: The Social Media Revolution 2. (If you haven’t seen the first one click here.)
From Shannon:
This article isn’t really “news” but it’s something that I’m excited about as someone who uses Skype often.
Here’s a great one worth watching if you have a few minutes. This is about how fast someone can become an online meme. The “guy in the red shirt” is a computer nerd who plays World of Warcraft. He challenges Chris Metzen, who is the big guns at Blizzard (makers of World of Warcraft) about one of the updates in their new expansion. This leads to an explosion of online chatter about how geeky Warcraft players can be, more specifically about Mr. Red Shirt’s inability to be a public speaker. Blizzard’s response was immediate. They not only addressed his question, but added a character based on him to the game.
(Social Media controlled in a positive manner; read some of Blizzards Forum responses here)
