Facebook ’s big report card on what we human beings blabbed about online is here ! The good news : three of the top ten topic of the year were important . The bad news : the residue is inane , sad , incoherent diddly-shit . We suck up .
The top position of the year ? “ LMS , ” for “ like my status , ” perhaps the most pictorial indicant of how Facebook serve well to make us find less horribly alone online . Like my position . recognise my existence . Please . I beg you . Just cluck the fucking word ! ! ! A courteous trend sitting between Hegelian metaphysics and making me need to tope until I fall over . The second most pop , was TBH ( to be honest ) , an cyberspace acronym as erstwhile as dust . And for the bronze laurel wreath was a mention of the death of Osama bin Laden . Humanity has its precedency straight ! At least FML is knocked off the list , TBH .
The top overall “ topic ” of the year for us ? Osama , followed by the Superbowl , Casey Anthony , and Charlie Sheen . The war in Libya play 9th , just behind Modern Warfare 3 .
The fast growing pages ? Megan Fox was the ascendant “ entertainer , ” scarcely pinch Vin Diesel . Rihanna takes a deserved # 1 music smudge , and somehow Avril Lavigne is # 3 .
But links ! What about links ! We have sex to share links — Facebook ’s more about that than most things , these days . So what tidings article did we pass along the most ?
1 . Satellite Photos of Japan , Before and After the Quake and Tsunami ( New York Times )
2 . What teachers really want to tell parent ( CNN )
3 . No , your zodiac sign has n’t changed ( CNN )
4 . Parents , do n’t dress your girl like tramps ( CNN )
5 . Father Daughter Dance Medley ( Yahoo )
6 . At funeral , wienerwurst mourns the last of Navy SEAL kill in Afghanistan ( Yahoo )
7 . You ’ll freak when you see the new Facebook ( CNN )
8 . Dog in Japan stays by the side of ailing friend in the rubble ( Yahoo )
9 . Giant crocodile capture alive in Philippines ( Yahoo )
10 . New Zodiac Sign escort : Ophiuchus The 13th Sign ? ( The Huffington Post )
There is literally one important thing in there . Two of the article are about horoscopes . Apparently an article was necessary for parent to not “ coiffe their girls like tramps . ”
Is any of this surprising ? Of course not . For all its web wonder and societal reinvention , Facebook is of course a melting pot of the lowest brow . At least Timeline is very pretty . [ FacebookviaAllThingsD ]
