I like Big Data and I cannot lie. Designer of expensive systems that run in the cloud I keep your TV running, or at least the ads that subsidized it

I have a 6 year old with less than average impulse control and a 3 year old who copies everything the 6 year old does.

I'd argue that it was for a brief window before people realized it might be the case. But just like how a metric it stops being a useful metric once you start using it to gague performance, as soon as the media started reporting on microblogging trends they stopped reflecting reality.
