See, doing things against your will can be fun! I always was the kid who got everyone in trouble. Kudos for diving in with us!

Thanks so much for participating! I'm not a meme-girl myself, either, but the viewpoints have been so interesting! And you have completely turned me around in terms of the social media news sites, so it's great to hear your opinion.

BTW - I've really been interacting with the Digg community more and more. It really is about being a part of the community.

Hi Tamar

I will respond but I still have to finish a positive post about PayPerPost and Blogrush for you to snack on ;) - I know you will appreciate the differing point of view.

I hate memes too.

I would call myself a media gypsy than a media snacker. The toobs of the web are littered with accounts I have started, had a mooch around and then left. Distracted like a child on seeing Cadburys chocolate buttons within chomping distance.

Respect isn't the word I would use, sympathise is what comes to mind. But also the acknowledgement that we are blessed with such wealth of information, of course the problem is sorting it into useful, graded, boxes.

Even wasting time is useful.

OK, this is sparking off a few things I can use, I am going to continue these thoughts back at my blog, with a backlink of course ;)

You might be interested in some of the latest Forrester research that shows the skyrocketing adaptation by seniors to technology. Media snackers may be young people (I disagree!) but it would be a mistake to stop designing or marketing to older people. :)

I hear you, Kim! :)

I love how people always say they have been tagged against their will but then tag others! I guess I shouldn't be surprised though, misery loves company right? ;)

Seriously though, I'll participate. I was looking for an idea for tomorrow anyway. Cheers! :D

I almost didn't tag anyone, Ben, but then I realized I should keep some of you lazy people busy. ;)

" we are blessed with such wealth of information, of course the problem is sorting it into useful, graded, boxes.

Thought semantic web would help for information organization, but, in the meantime, it's so against human nature to do 'things' - put bits into 'boxes', contraction we're made of...

The comments are all refreshing...

Love the "media gypsy" reference by one of your commenters...

Just adding your voice to the many:

Hey! I'm a media snacker and I'm not young. That video is a bit ageist don't you think? :)

Tamar Weinberg · 1 year ago

Agreed, Tomboys. I think that's the only problem most people have with that video. :)

I wouldn't take it personally Tomboys - check our post where we explain our focus on young people :-)

I suspect we have always been media snackers. Consider billboards. They can send out strong visual and text messages in a few seconds similar to what web sites do now.

Even TV and radio listeners are media snackers. Just because a TV or radio is turned on doesn't mean anyone is listening.

My 16 year old son can play an online game, listen to music on his iPod, watch television, eat and read a novel all at the same time.

His focus on various contents can multiplex at an amazing rate. His friends are just the same. It scares me.
