I am still baffled by the whole social media thing, something just doesn’t quiet seem to be right but can’t quiet get my finger on it.

At this moment in time I am inclined to agree with Girish and believe there is some kinda of mismatching in the system of rating and ranking.

@Anand I have just discovered your blog and am liking what you put out, thanks for sharing and keep up the good work.

may be.. but my point was that they shouldn’t be mentioning “cheap air ticket” when it is obviously not the cheapest

@anand I need to agree with you that there is some unhealthy politics going on within Digg

@shrinidhi, I guess thats their revenue model or something.

@girish, social media is all about socializing and interacting with the crowd. the more reach you have there, more eyes will fall on your content. Its not exactly about quality. For example, digg has a lot of internal politics going on which determines who gets exposure and who does not.

While talking about social media,

I am always surprised that for some set of users they use to get very good response regardless the quality of posts .

Take the example of diggs getting for particular users, I had examined the quality and many of them are sub standard. still they get 100s of diggs, where as a normal user may get 2 or 3 or a max of 50 diggs if posts are excellent ..

any one disagree with it ??

Also I asked a question on twitter to Cleartrip asking them why their rates are 5-10% expensive than rates quoted by airline websites… They didn’t care to respond.

Politics is a important part of our life…them coming to the internet is a move towards transparency and in our domain of expertise.

There is one group of people who kind of gets the importance of social media – unfortunately, its the politicians. I can see campaigning everywhere.
