Show of hands, anybody frustrated by Facebook? Me too.
It seems that I keep seeing the same posts by the same people, who happen to be the ones I interact with the most. Same goes for pages - the ones that I click “like” or comment on are the ones that pop up in the newsfeed most frequently.
Even though I am a big user of Facebook lists, even they seem to be failing me right now.
I watched a video this morning that made me smile and simultaneously cry. I hate it when that happens, but at the same time, I want to share what made me feel that way with the world so we can all do the ugly cry together.
The events that happened Monday at the Boston Marathon were shocking, horrific and sad. Moments after the bombs went off, social media was abuzz with questions about it. People nearby who heard the bombs were wondering what had happened. People who had friends and family in the race were wondering where their loved ones were. And then, people who were in the actual area started to tweet and post images of the area.
Kmart has made the news recently for a very clever commercial that has quickly gone viral over the internet. The wordplay in it is quick, clever, and for most people, pretty funny. In this house, because I am a very bad influence on my kids and partake of rude humour more so than some, the video was played constantly over the course of the day. I showed it to pretty much anyone who came within 5 feet of me, Facebooked it, Tweeted it, texted it to family and kept it up on my computer browser all day so I could keep replaying it.
I’m going to cut right to the chase. Watch this entire video:
