Social media remembrances for Memorial Day.
Posted on Sat May 23 2009At the end of each week, Luckie's Whitney Mitchell brings us The Social Pathology Report, a recap of noteworthy occurrences in the world of social media.
I know everyone's jetting out to their respective lakehouses, vacations or graduation ceremony after-parties. But alas, I am here to bring you some interesting linkage that just might be the best thing you read... on Tuesday morning.
- A company named Biz360 claimed it could use social analytics to predict Danny Gokey as the winner of this season's American Idol. How'd that work out for 'em? [Sys-Con]
- A smart phone app called "Copious Inc" allows you to locally pinpoint mobile coupons for stores/restaurants. Too bad it's only available in Lafayette, Indiana. Weird. [Mashable]
- UH OH: Switched helps you find out if your common online habits may be illegal. Behaviors include: "dissing people", insider tweets and surfing for drugs. In no particular order... [Switched]
- His Holiness The Pope gets in on the iPhone & Facebook action. Now we can all boringly superpoke him. [ReadWriteWeb]
- Want to sound like you're hard at work on some super-important project, but really just play some keyboard quiz full of Office Space quotes? You're welcome. [Lemondrop]
- Ever wanted to put Youtube sensational and British songbird Susan Boyle into a room with no doors and watch the magic happen? Me either. But those waiting in anticipation of Sims 3 will get a teaser of that in the franchise's newest promo. [Kotaku]
As always, if you have any tips or links worth mentioning, send me some social aggregation fodder via the e-mail or on the Twitters.
