Is twitter just another water cooler, where people congregate to hear the latest news or gossip?
Recently, at the twitter water cooler;
It’s been an interesting couple of weeks, and being the observer that I am…I wonder about the truth to these so called gossip, and rumors…
How do you know when it’s a blown out of proportion partial truth or an out right lie?
You don’t!
OR DO YOU?
One thing that I know is this;á somewhere in gossip, rumors or inconsistency of stories, there is some truth to what we hear.
“hey did you hear about______?”
No one just randomly starts a lie, or makes something up out of the blue. OR MAYBE THEY DO???
It comes from somewhere, it comes from a source.
The person, company, politician or celebrity that is being outed will usually say things like “get your facts straight” …and the most commoná “Look at the source it is coming from?”
inquiring minds want to know so, Where DID you hear that?
If you heard it at your hair salon, at your local bar, you can be pretty much bank on it’s truth…
bartender’s hear it all too, get some booze in people and all kinds of juice, comes out of them, when they are “juiced!” people in general tend to agree with the rest of the world, that these above resources would probably be very true…
being in the hairstyling business for well over 30 years…and the ex husband of 18 years was a bartender, then turned hair stylist and salon owner with me, could REALLY confirm both! ……..at least in his experience….
hair salon gossip, the bartender, and the water cooler is where you will find the good stuff…or maybe, I should say “bad stuff”
The truth about it all…? We all like to hear about the “news” and we want to be the first one to share the news…
Now don’t say YOU don’t!!! Its natural, normal, AND its human nature.
DO YOU want to be the FIRST to know something…or the first to announce something? …The first to share something?
Just go on twitter, that water cooler isá a,á who heard what from where, and who… Kinda place…
however, the investigators of truth use a thing called “search” you can find out exactly what and who people are talking about with alerts and #Hashtags you can keep up on anything, and any topic or person..
There is “google” search…have you ever wanted to do a name search on someone on google just for the heck of it? or even searched YOUR own name? Then you took it a step further, and did a background check?
Or YOU wanted to do that? Maybe you have or haven’t…Maybe you care, or none of it matters...to YOU…bet your bottom dollars (no twitter pun intended : : spam : : scam= money) others do care, and want to know!
So have you done a back ground check on someone? maybe someone is applying for a job, you just wanna see “if” this person has a “past”á ; -)
RIGHT…
Curiosity, again, human nature! Wanting to hear the news, yet at times not wanting to… its in our face everyday, in many ways…
Twitter news is instant, its live, its liver than live! It is live unfolding open, very open conversations in real time…yup… “the as its happening kinda news!”
inevitably WE hear about bad news,á nasty gossip, the opinions of others, and maybe good news…
get your up to the minute news first… at “the water cooler…!”
