Thu, 02 Jul 2009 22:46:40 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8 en hourly 1 CNN keeps failing http://blog.cnnfail.com/2009/06/16/cnn-keeps-failing/ http://blog.cnnfail.com/2009/06/16/cnn-keeps-failing/#comments Tue, 16 Jun 2009 20:44:33 +0000 Social WEdia http://blog.cnnfail.com/?p=15 Ok so it’s day 4 of the #CNNfail fiasco and the #CNNfail hashtag on twitter is still going strong. Social WEdia rules.

CNN has recognized the importance of Twitter & other social networks but has still failed to mention the #CNNfail tag. Isnt the #CNNfail tag and people’s demand for more Iran coverage news in itself?

Also today, CNN anchors were supposedly mentioning the twitter usernames of people in Iran that were informing the world of what was going on… not a good idea when the Iranian government would love to quieten their tweets. That kicked off a fresh round of #CNNfail tags.

Seems like a lot of people are realizing #CNNFail is a news revolution. I like to call it The Rise of Social WEdia.

No longer do WE have to wait until the mainstream media decides to air a piece of news.

Twitter brings us real-time news reporting where WE are in control.

As @smithadam put it: “CNN no longer decides what is news. We do.”

Welcome to the rise of Social WEdia.

We all have been hearing alot about Social MEdia…. Social MEdia this, Social MEdia that.

Well, Social WEdia is all about WE instead of ME. Its all of us coming together to create media using the internet. Whether it’s news media, entertainment media or social media.

What do you think of #CNNfail and how twitter is changing the way we get our news?
