Thing 11 Reddit, Digg etc.

OK, I've reached my limit. Call me an elitist, call me a media snob, but I see absolutely no reason to get my news mediated by the inadequate attention spans of a bunch of witless, post-adolescent cyber-commentators. The so-called social media sites can carry on without me.

When I want to find out what's going on in the world, I want the New York Times straight up. Why on earth would I care to have my news "voted on" by a bunch of underemployed slackers who happen to have some time on their hands in cyberspace? Sorry, but whatever "community" they belong to, count me out.
