As we all know, the supposed “Rapture” didn’t happen as believed by the self-proclaimed prophet, 89-year old Bible scholar Harold Cam. Now he has predicted the end of the world for October 21, 2011. Although the doomsday “event” never occured, Twitter users and other social media sites reacted in various ways and then studied. Which category did you fall into?
According to Mashable.com, “Social media analytics company Crimson Hexagon analyzed tweets related to the rapture and determined that most people (67%) were joking about the “event,” some (10%) were criticizing Camping for his prophesies, and some (9%) even preparing an end-of-the-world party.” This company was able to study the reactions of people according to their 140 character Twitter messages.
I spent my Rapture time with my mom shopping. Needless to say no one really cared, but I really would have liked to been invited to a End Of The World party!
I think people use ideas like this to have fun. i have noticed lately on the radio, internet, and even history channel, people are talking even more and more about 2012, the end of the world, and possibly zombies. people are sharing ideas about what they have in their preparedness kit, and giving tips on how to survive such catastrophes. it seems people use many social media sites to talk about these things, but it seems blogs are the most popular medium for discussing the end of the world.
ReplyDeleteHaving your own house is the dream of every person. For a middle class person, it is considered as a lifetime achievement as it requires quite a huge amount of money. Banks play a pivotal role in fulfilling this basic need. The products they offer and the services they provide are of immense use to people who intend to have their own house. For a safe and beneficial home loan, proper awareness over the products, policies, terms and conditions of the bank is most important as ignorance may result in more payments to the bank in terms of principal and interest components.
