Anti social media (part 1067) Silkcharm vs Warlach

With respect, I think this is a great site – but what has this got to do with anything? Two people get into an altercation on the ‘net isn’t exactly unheard of.

We don’t even know the basics of the story – what happened, who said what to whom – to make it even worthy of a footnote in a gossip column. If you’re going to roll out the novelty of polemic, it would help if you provided a few details, surely.

The internet is serious business.

As much as it is a throwaway meme, it is also true for a lot of people. It is always interesting watching those who choose to conduct both their personal and professional lives online, especially when you see a personal reaction in a professional space.

Hi Simon,

My hope is that the whole story is amusingly told in the poll featured. I didn’t want to spoil the comedy of the poll by simply retelling it. My apologies if it’s more mysterious than intended.

Cheers,

Tim – Mumbrella

Wow. Annoying person on internets annoyed by different other Annoying person on internets.

quick send in teh roflcopters now!!!

Roflcopters for Kate.. (assuming the HTML works)

Sorry DDsD, Our spam filter is a bit bossy around html…

Cheers,

Tim – Mumbrella

I, for one, chose the eating of a sandwich. Preferably wholemeal with Branston Pickle and (proper, i.e. Carbon unfriendly imported) Red Leicester. I was sad to hear what the real result was. Only @warlach is allowed to call me a noob

I don’t see how this is worthy of a post. Amusing perhaps, but it’s not media OR marketing.

Hi Kalena,

We sometimes (well, actually, quite a lot) write about social media.

Cheers,

Tim – Mumbrella

Ho ho Tim. But it’s not about social media either. It’s just about snark that you found funny.

Check the IP address Tim! Check the IP address and throw it in their face!

Priceless. The game turns, and the snarkers become the snarked. And do they like their time in the snarklight? No they do not.

It seems to me that the median emotional age of many of the self-named social media experts/mavens/gods/goddesses/insert your own douchebag noun, is somewhere around 4.

The more things change, the more they stay the same. Do all try and treat the social media space as something other than a mid-1990s chat room. It’s dull, it’s puerile, and it just makes unnecessary noise in what is already a very loud space.

(Almost) ignoring this, shrugging, and move on… 🙂

It was mildly amusing. Plus, I like sandwiches.

Good use of Twt Poll I thought – there defiantly isn’t enough sandwich eating in today’s society. Personally I’m a fan of the good old peanut butter and banana…. although made a recent discovery – toasted honey and walnut sandwich… yummier than it sounds.

I enjoy nothing more than the defiant eating of sandwiches.

Do you see what I did there? I made a snarky comment about a spelling mistake in a comment about a snarky comment about a snarky comment.

Et voilà! the snake eats its own tail.

“He does it to women in general, no?”

I love this comment on the Twitter page.

Laurel you are a joke. The real tragedy here is some people actually listen to your insane (or is it inane) ramblings.

god don’t you people have anything better to do with your time.

Let’s be clear about what is happening here. Tim Burrowes has some serious issues with Laurel Papworth – I would suspect he sees her as a competitive media threat in the Social Media space which he is desperately trying to own.

So he and his comedic entourage (who are also threatened by her popularity) stalk her and try to dig up ‘anything’ and I mean ‘anything’ as shown by this non-post, to poke fun at her. Really sad for a national blog claiming media & marketing prowess.

There is against whatever he suggests in his preamble & follow-up comments, no humour in Tim’s motivations. As we can see in his poor attempt at explaining social media on Sunrise today, various other heritage media ‘aspirational’ jaunts and here in this blog, he is pretty clueless beyond anything beyond re-publishing old school PR releases – an old school journalist bully, masquerading as someone with vision. Stick to behind the scenes ‘marketing’ editing Tim, I for one would appreciate you keeping away from traditional AND social media and leave it to those who understand it.

Well, I don’t know about the machinations of all sides here to ‘own’ social media. But I do know, the posturing of social media ‘experts’ is comedic, and should be ridiculed.

In the meantime, “follow the gourd!”.

what mumbrella and laurel do is completely different … not remotely in the same space.

i kind of get the feeling tim finds laurel tedious and points it out sometimes. fair game i say.

I reckon if a lot more of the people who get their knickers in a not over things that are said in the social media world went and grabbed a sandwich before making a comment, Australia’s breadmakers would be whooping it up due to the profits and everyone would sit back down at their desks with a full tum and a bit less aggro.

Agree with Juliana, above. Think its kind of ridiculous that this would be posted here – regardless of being ‘social media’. Surely there are a LOT more stories happening under this ‘umbrella’ but instead, you lower yousrelf, and your credibility to point fun at someone, with an ‘amusing’ (not at all) twitpoll. Disappointing.

@Scott
No, follow the sandal!

Wow, both Kimberly and Juliana really are going over the top a little here. I certainly found this interesting… certainly interesting enough to read it, which surely is the entire point of a blog like this.

I do find it interesting that both Kimberly and Juliana here both have no identifying links to their name. Me-thinks they might be the same person? (laurel Papworth?)

Being un-followed isn’t that bad, I always find it amusing at what list name people put you in. I’m still waiting for someone to list me under “Hot guy I met on Twitter”…

More posts like this please Timbles. Seriously.

Google led me here after I searched for sandwiches.
Where are they?
Why would google lie to me?
