Social Media Experiment: Crowd Sourcing Blog Post

Taken at the Piscataway/HP zoo

Yesterday, complained about how social media has stopped people from blogging.  Blogging became secondary, and I want to say no, it should be primary.  I decided to see how I could crowd source a blog post using social media.  I took a “lolcat” picture at the local zoo, and asked everyone to caption it.  I got amazing results.  Turns out after a retweet, I got a lot more results than I ever expected.

Here are the results:

From Twitter: (In no particular order)
@jhaka: “Edna’s husband flies her south for winter; Larry here says its more economical if we stay north.”
@chrispoteet: “You think I look stupid?”
@superiorshoes: If you say Aflac one more time I’m gunna bust through this fence and kick your ass!
@playboyoncampus: – Got locked up for looking at chick porn
@Kungfucarlo: This is my good side, bitch
@Suaveinc: “Yeah, I’m lookin at you James Toney!

From Facebook:
Avrom: DUCK!
Mike: ‎”I’d really appreciate it if you wore pants more often.”
Nick: “You got the goods?”

While you may say, “That is all,” referring to the number of comments, that is a lot for me.  I don’t have that many followers, but 9 responses in less than 24 hours is not bad, for something completely random from my usual musings.
