Thursday’s Axillaries
Here is a list of mid-late week items that your DSA Online team found interesting:
From Kathryn:
Did you pop in to check out the live-twitter event? Mashable hosted a live-feed of Twitter’s announcement of their revamp of Twitter.com. Did you know that 78% of Twitter users use Twitter.com as their client (vs. Tweetdeck, Hootsuite, etc). Be sure to check out Twitter.com and the Mashable’s Twitter changes announcement page.
From Jacquie:
More things that you really shouldn’t be doing on Facebook!
As marketers we want people to feel good about the products they’re purchasing; but does that include lying to them about it…..http://www.esquire.com/blogs/mens-fashion/pants-size-chart-090710?click=main_sr
From Alexander:
The internet now totally controls the world:
About a million years ago a brave young pioneer leveraged her online popularity into a Hollywood career, and demonstrated that being popular on the internet is no small thing. Since then, the internet has launched the careers of bands, redefined comedy, and now in the pinnacle of internet achievement, Paul “Bear” Vasquez has become a Microsoft spokesperson for a single reason: A lot of people watched his epic home video “Double Rainbow”. Kudos to Microsoft for quickly turning an internet meme into an advertising campaign.
That capitalization of a meme was light years faster than Honda’s Bangs endorsement. At this rate we’ll soon see meme ads before the meme itself!
San Luis Obispo police are the internet equivalent of an old guy that refers to telephones as “new-fangled technology”:

Seriously, these are the people that protect the citizens of San Luis Obispo? I’d be terrified to encounter someone with a gun that can’t differentiate the difference between satire and pedophiles.
