danah boyd | apophenia » “for the lolz”: 4chan is hacking the attention economy

Moneyquote: "(Newbie note: If you have never heard of 4chan, start with the Wikipedia entry and not the website itself. The site tends to offend many adults sensibilities. As one of my friends put it, loving LOLcats or rickrolling as outputs is like loving a tasty hamburger; visiting 4chan is like visiting the meat factory. At some point, it'd probably help to visit the meat factory, but that might make you go vegetarian.)"
Such a good analogy.
4chan
Such a good analogy.
