We are proud to bring you some more weird and wonderful news. There’ve been loads of peculiar and quirky rumors and facts in online video and web TV sphere over the last few weeks. So, what events are in the movement and popular?
Presidential elections are gaining in strength. That is an interesting point that the majority of voters enters into conversation (with neighbors, colleagues, family members, passersby, etc.) concerning forthcoming elections just in peak hours.
Ardent casual folks’ speeches and mixed feelings about these elections urge representatives of the “fourth power” on predictions and surveys. Mass media sources want to be the first in the news to report more or less credible prognosis.
An article “Can Google Trends Predict The Election?” by Erick Schonfeld (TechCrunch.com), demonstrates how Google Trends are able to keep an eye on what is going on in the USA. Interesting enough, according to figures, Google can predict the elections better then traditional tracking polls. Unfortunately, the data is true for today, not for the autumn’s outcome.
By the way, “YouTube launches reporter channel, in time for presidential race” (by Eric Eldon), YouTube is launching a new “Reporter” channel, featuring a variety of news related videos submitted by anyone, from amateurs to professionals. The channel is intended to active non-professional “reporters” (students, city-dwellers, etc.) where professional journalists enable to use the “Reporter” page as an additional source.
The most important point, however, is that all of us are allowed to use and create news. Nobody can tell the truth from the lie. Everybody used to trust casual eyewitnesses as well as official viewpoints from the big media.
I’m concordant with the statement “Social Media Still Facing Stigma In Business”. The author emphasizes how social media can help your business to grow and an essential importance to join social media as well. So, old-fashioned employers fear and don’t understand a chance new media offers them to improve their business.
Occasionally news editors make sizeable mistakes being in a hurry. On the one side, in such ways online (and paper) sources of information are deeply eager to make a big stir breaking the rules. On the other side, hardware can also glitch.
Let’s say what curious and hilarious news do strike you? Elections are around the corner. Presidential candidates deserve a place of primary importance to be covered in mass media these days.
As it often happens in such matters, even professional journalists come down to earth and make mistakes. Typical examples are ‘Obama-Osama’ slips. According to Michael Erard, author of ‘Um: Slips, Stumbles and Verbal Blunders, and What They Mean’, ‘Obama-Osama’ is “a classical phonological malapropism”.
As it quoted in “The Science Behind ‘Obama/Osama’ Slips”, “ninety-six percent of the time,” he explains, “the word you intend to say and the word that actually comes out of your mouth start with the same sound, have the same number of syllables and have the same stress pattern.”
Even Microsoft Word underlines ‘Obama’. What does it intend to tell me this way? On the balance, I’d like you to able to think for yourself and don’t take everything for granted.
