Social Media

First I want to begin by thanking and
These two are the most consistent watches I've got. They favorite pretty much everything and comment on stuff and it's great. That's what I expect from people on the dA community.

Now this commentary won't really apply to my dA experience because I just don't have the following for a whole lot of interaction with people. (As of this post I've only 39 watchers).

But I will talk about Facebook and how lousy people are at being social. I know people are busy. It's just the way things are. They "don't have time" for Facebook. Well right there I call bs because people make time for that stuff. People are on Facebook all the time, browsing posts and posting dumb things that don't actually mean anything. The posts give me the impression that the hundreds of people I know on Facebook basically do nothing with there time. Yet they seem often incapable of spending any time responding to each other's posts. The difference between social media and regular media is that with social you get instant feedback and communicating with the people who are consuming the media. This is a wonderful thing for feedback and just general strength of growing fanbases and whatnot. But when people either don't care to or refuse to comment on things they see, then this idea falls flat. It turns into traditional media where creators create, and consumers consume and nothing unless happens and it's whatever..

But when people like me, or anyone out there who is trying to create something and make things for other people to enjoy and consume and talk about, puts their stuff out there, we are kind of hoping we will get comments. critiques. anything. commenting spreads posts. and whether it's good or bad out stuff gets out there and maybe someone who hasn't found it yet will and will get a kick out of it.

Ok I should really get back to work. I have a paper to make stuff up for.
