Social Media Linkbaiting: A Visual Representation
Social Media

It's Friday, so here's a little noise to keep you all amused. After Rand's presentation on Linkbait in this week's Whiteboard Friday, I got an image in my head that I felt compelled to draw. Here ya go.
LOL - that's a very accurate drawing Scott! Now you just need to label the apple as "AWESOME!", make the fishing pole a Wii controller, and have Stephen Colbert driving the fishing boat and it will be perfect.
haha great art!! where can i buy the canvas? haha
Whoei nice laugh !!
hehe, nice doodle. it's so true!
but where's the social shopping sites? ie. thisnext, stylehive etc.
Well, the apple is almost shiny enough but not nearly sparkly or useless enought to appeal to the stylehive crowd...
:P
You mean like a Zune?
I meant more like a disco ball that dispenses margaritas and plays Dave Matthews music and also comes equipped with a ballpoint pen and a bottle opener. Because that's the sort of stuff I saw on Stylehive.
Actually, scratch that. I could use that!
Disco ball, eh? :P
Trust you to pipe up right now! I did see a disco-ball-esque thing on there once...
Social Shopping doodle needs bees, not fish. StyleHive, What's Buzzing, and Crowdstorm's bee in the logo. I smell a trend...
nice drawing... digg has to have sharper teeth...
Scott,
How many of you Mozzers work on Macintosh computers?
We're pretty much all PC all the time around here...except for our developers, who both have Mac laptops. Developers with Macs? Shocking, I know :)
Spot on Scott. I had just about the same mental picture in my head as well.
Came across this for the first time today and can't agree more. Great artwork!
Awesomeness haha, shouldn't digg be a shark?
Digg, shark.
MySpace, whale.
Was the fisherman purposely left outside the image?
Yeah, probably, but I'm not that artistic.
CUTE!
And the one labled "Darwin" swam off in disgust ages ago
*winks**smiles*
I was thinking the same thing. If ever I see someone driving around with a Digg fish on their car, I'll probably cry.
Reddit stickers FTW!
I always wonder if anybody in the seething masses of Seattle drivers knows what my little alien means?
The reddit alien handily kicks the collective asses of all other social media icons.
