I really dislike the trend of "reporting" via copy/pasting Tweets. I'd love to read an article on this topic. Instead, they showed me a bunch of Tweets...something I could have easily found, if I wanted to, by going to Twitter and searching the hashtag.

This article is basically one person pointing out a trend and then internetting for someone else, as if that person doesn't understand how to internet.

Yes. How to internet.

Yeah, that's the gawker way of reporting. They're douchebags in more ways than one, surprisingly!

I understand that, although for discussing and sharing I like this kind of article because it can be used as an easy link to spark discussion, instead of telling people on here or Facebook to search for a certain Hashtag, which I know they won't do.
