Science!
Time for an experiment, boys and girls.
Facebook. The social hub of the internet, where everyone, their pet dog and their pet dog’s poo has an account. Status updates are probably the most frequently used aspect of the site, followed closely by becoming fans of utterly pointless things, such as ‘Whenever I’m telling a story I always say “and I was like.”’
And I was like, get a life.
Anyway, my experiment is going to be focussing on the status updates. Within status updating, there is “liking” an update, the idea being that if you like what you read, you “like” it. Thing is, people “like” updates too often, and often they “like” updates that tell of a bad day, or a traumatic experience. Basically, people will “like” seemingly anything, and that’s what I’m going to test. How pointless, how nonsensical can my status updates be before people stop “liking” them?
I shall try out various styles of status update. For example, the emo poet, the pop culture quote and the “omg night out 2night cant w8 lolol”. But to begin with, I think I’ll just fart out a word at random. For this I shall use a random word generator. This one, in fact. http://watchout4snakes.com/CreativityTools/RandomWord/RandomWordPlus.aspx
My word is “dancing”. I shall post again after I retrieve my findings.
