Comments on a blog or a SNS that not related with content of the post are a good example for showing the “latent function” of online discussions. Even though, the blogger can try for moderating the comments, but when the comments growth quickly by the popularity of an event, the control seems useless. With the boosting of information about this shooting, we know more about what inside the head of people, what people thinking about a matter. We will never know what they don’t agree one another without they written down on these posting.<br /><br />Thank you to all of your comment. These comments have sharpened what I am thinking about. Moreover, these comments are giving me inspiration for thinking what I am going to post later.HansomeAvatarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04797658944706988836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3388175923035718263.post-56565441865757146112011-01-23T13:58:27.554-10:002011-01-23T13:58:27.554-10:00Thanks for that link Guy, it seems crazy but many ...Thanks for that link Guy, it seems crazy but many times is so true, no matter what the discussion is about. People often act so different in social media than in real life, and the mashup of all these different online communities just encourages this I think. With news and opinions coming at us from all sides, sometimes it's hard to keep a cool head, and even the most rational person may end up posting something that offends someone else.<br />On the other hand, as Caloha mentioned, all this information flooding us from all sides, that we see no longer only through regular news media bur that follows us on Facebook, Twitter, and other social networks, may desensitize us in some way to events like this. I personally completely "overlooked" Facebook friends talking about it and it only really got through to me when I saw it mentioned again in a Livejournal post, which I guess says something about the importance I internally assign to different social networks.Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10272475490864461892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3388175923035718263.post-41049251765314023872011-01-23T10:46:01.803-10:002011-01-23T10:46:01.803-10:00It is true that some have used the Arizona shootin...It is true that some have used the Arizona shooting to provoke and attack others on preexisting beliefs, and may have even used the shooting to further causes or individual publicity.<br /><br />How about this, until being assigned by Dr. Gazan to take a look at this incident, other than hearing about it briefly on the news.. I had not bothered finding out any details- it seems I may have become desensitized to such acts of violence that the only thing that really affected me was knowing a nine year old girl died in the shooting..Calohahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14229592495150763314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3388175923035718263.post-5820107700790075222011-01-22T23:14:32.691-10:002011-01-22T23:14:32.691-10:00While reading this, the thing that stuck out most ...While reading this, the thing that stuck out most was what Professor Gazan mentioned, that people seem to be using the shooting as a way to provoke and attack each other on their pre-existing beliefs. While there is some genuine focus on the actual event, there are all sorts of random hate scattered throughout the comments. Towards the end of the comments, that seems to be all that is going on, the actual story long forgotten. It reminds me of a semi-popular internet meme that I see every now and then, of which I found an example <a href="http://ja-jp.facebook.com/group.php?gid=7458414245" rel="nofollow">here</a>. While it doesn't fit the argument here exactly, I feel it's fairly close.Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11144275149088686192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3388175923035718263.post-29900297849078535852011-01-22T22:13:45.183-10:002011-01-22T22:13:45.183-10:00You really dissected a single blog entry on the in...You really dissected a single blog entry on the incident into each of its elements in high detail.<br />It is interesting to see then from there that once an opinion or information [whether factual or not] goes online can be rebroadcasted in so many different channels. Basically, once it is out there on the Internet, it will stay out there just waiting for someone to dig it up for some purposes, good or bad, in the future.<br />With such high level of interaction beyond the story item itself, sometimes the interactive 'noises' can take a life of its own. I recognized this from my own ventures reading the comment section of news article. Sometimes, I completely forgot what was the issue being discussed, getting deep into the banter between the commentators.<br />Thus, like Rich said, the substance only became a platform to launch rather polarized ideological debate that goes nowhere.Erensthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17926706286564834299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3388175923035718263.post-29223085741072402092011-01-22T11:20:15.152-10:002011-01-22T11:20:15.152-10:00Very interesting post; one of the consequences of ...Very interesting post; one of the consequences of your analysis seems to be that the inciting event scarcely matters, and that people use these stories as little more than an arena in which to argue and insult one another. <br /><br />The content of an article, blog or other commentary might therefore be seen as an arsenal of proof for particular interpretations, and the act of mashing up content is designed not to share information, but to ground previously held views.Rich Gazanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03887941823159135594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3388175923035718263.post-88139658355285594392011-01-21T13:35:36.271-10:002011-01-21T13:35:36.271-10:00Can you make the table bigger?
