What O Write In Wedding Card

Air travel and the decline of mass media

Do not you have Twitter account? I recommend you go to the urgent and open one. Now once I explain why.
Until yesterday my perception about the roles and utilities that could provide tweet were:
1. Appeal Pasat, consistent in celebration of one-liners Retweet liable
2. Appeal Pasat, consisting of read Retweet of @ kk twitterers FerIglesias originated and its surroundings, full of irony and also various types of insults, that move one to laughter but also to the penalty. It seems that not only I caught this functionality: kk prominent blogger sent me the following message: "How do shake Fernando Iglesias. I'm shitting of evil laughter."
To add, say the above not only retweet @ FerIglesias but at the same time promotes dispersed for one kk twitterers incorporates your watchlist. Ergo, a feature derived and fostered by @ FerIglesias is to "know" kakismo addicts.
However, yesterday joined third utility that I think is fundamental: information. That said, not worth much, but the issue was not only perceived by me. While we were in full wave of COUP ATTEMPT the sister republic of Ecuador, I rose from my location on the computer to go to find more information on TV several times. Here there was nothing new that had not read in the tweet. Moreover, before the information appeared on TV I had already heard through the tweet. So I thought: "I go to the compu because television does not say a shit. "mine was in these terms but Maria Esperanza Casullo as defined with certainty in the same tweet: he spoke of" the death of the press and I think also that of television. Since the conflict began even once watched a news portal, it did not take it all in tweet. "The same thing happened to me.
Remember the oft phrase" the maelstrom of information " said and re in television? Well, repeated ad nauseam by Perez Loiseau has ceased to apply solely to television, now the rush is on Tuite. What's more, I think no longer applies to it and now in the tweet primerea . explain why and this is also fundamental information today comes from tweet is not from newspapers, or television or any mass medium than cell phones and the internet channel itself is: comes from ordinary people who does not filter, not edit, or conditions, or panfletea, or lie about what is happening in the scene. This was the case of twitterers @ paulavernimmen, psychiatrist, not a journalist, who was in a hospital in front of the hospital where he was Correa. For hours tweeted everything that happened and she was the first to announce that the Ecuadorian people began to surround the hospital where he was Correa was the first to announce it military trucks approaching but did not know what it means, either, "was she who announced with great distress that the police threw tear gas on his people, and she was the first to say he was in the middle of a war between police and military. No media had its day. Indeed, many media should have read to her and others who were in the same situation.
Thanks to tweet and twitterers, as a judge Mendoza stops me, I could see Telesur Live: fell the image? No matter, the twitterers will provide another 10 pages where Telesur broadcast. They were also the first to send links to twitterers TV viewing public of Ecuador that was taken by the rebels.
The relevance is that the bureaucratic machine and heavy oil but the newspapers and television is unable to compete with a common currency of informing you with a cell phone or a blackberry, without filters, without ulterior motives, not opinions, no drop line. Hence the desperation of journalists and mass media, hence the attack on bloggers from around the world, including Argentina to, promptly refer you to the twitterers. The traditional mass media (newspaper, magazines, radio, tv) have today many fronts competitors that are emptied of its meaning. Why watch TV or read the paper online, or even worse yesterday's paper, if there instantly NOW ALL IN ONE PLACE AND UNIQUE, entirely free of noise and interference, in what is called Twitter? Why pay a reporter if the common populace with only a cell phone (which also gets you out the photo) that look before, and hopefully incorporating processing, is now almost supplanting it with the bonus that you do not edit what happens in reality? Today anyone becomes a "journalist." Since yesterday I fully understand that the reign of the mass media, whether radio, television or newspapers, including online, as creators, managers, holders and exclusive dispersers of a word has begun to wane. Into a tailspin. And I speak a word because words are many. Example: @ psirven (Paul serves editor of The Nation) sends a tweet which said that "Correa is free to leave the hospital but does not." Probably the same is written in The Nation in its online version. However, thanks to links twitterers TeleSur that left I could hear live Correa said that did not leave the hospital because the police had surrounded. Did that in The Nation? I think not.
fuck was completed, kids from the media. Democracy arrived in earnest. The fourth power, some placed him not long ago as the first, is starting to give ground. Media Law and see it today, exaggerating a bit, as outmoded: it seeks to regulate what long ago began to perish. Attempts to defend the deputies disheveled and @ @ PatoBullrich SilGiudici for members of the corporate media in decline and against Metralleta blogueria Carrasco and K are outdated. Even today, in time to be blogging @ Tuite also has almost become somewhat bureaucratic and cumbersome to maintain the analogy. Today, bloggers, and a few months ago, we remain an alternative reading, which match point and was still living, to me until yesterday, the material leido en los diarios o visto en la televisión. Hoy eso se terminó. Para mi, y para unos cuantos que cazaron al vuelo el significado de Twitter: entre ellos la ya mencionada Maria Esperanza, pero también el Conu y Ezequiel Meler, blogueros, que fueron quienes tuitearon cosas parecidas a las que dijo María Esperanza respecto de Twitter y la muerte de los diarios y de la televisión.
Para terminar contar una par de anécdotas de qué hacen los periodistas cuando no les conviene o no les gusta lo que sucede en la realidad. El encumbrado periodista @dariogallo, mientras Correa estaba encarcelado en el hospital, recomendaba a través del Twitter revistas para leer. @PEliashev, por su parte, develaba un descubrimiento que I was pleasantly surprised: a DVD of David Byrne tweeted while everyone else talked frantically on the brothel in Ecuador. How do these two cynical to stop this avalanche of information? Nothing, because they can not, its only strategy is useless, was to attempt some kind of distraction through entertainment. I must be fair and say that @ majulluis also sent a single tweet, but very accurate: "This is a coup attempt disguised wage claim." So some, still, can they save something: dignity.
