Is there a war on between content and the social connectiveness illusion we call social networking? My experience tells me that there is a friction between reporting facts and creating a fictional society in relation to news media. Fictional society? Magazines are well familiar with "fictional society" making up stories that keep up hooked usually about the king and queen of the celebrity planet, where-ever that is.
Frankly, socialising with the kinds of people who contribute to the newspaper is not my idea of fun. The idea of doing it behind a non-de-plume, to me, is plain dishonest.
Creating a fiction or a character to interact with the likes of Twitter lends itself to a business application in the same way as being a Facebook artist or a myspace artist, but which is best? All are. But should an artist be spending all their time creating social networks or creating art?
