Comments on: CNN and Facebook Inauguration Coverage: A Mashup Made in Social Media Heaven http://www.thedailyanchor.com/2009/01/21/cnn-and-facebook-inauguration-coverage-a-mashup-made-in-social-media-heaven/ Online Marketing Blog Tue, 13 Jul 2010 17:35:54 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: Tristan http://www.thedailyanchor.com/2009/01/21/cnn-and-facebook-inauguration-coverage-a-mashup-made-in-social-media-heaven/comment-page-1/#comment-324 Tristan Thu, 22 Jan 2009 21:33:50 +0000 http://www.thedailyanchor.com/?p=2966#comment-324 While I agree that it was an interesting mash-up, I hope you realize that not everyone was impressed with CNN.com's coverage or presentation of what they labeled as "news." The use of iReport was stupid. I don't care what a family in New Mexico care. In fact their opinion matters even less than some of the regular pundits they have commenting on news stories. It was a cool gimmick, but it wasn't quality. And that's from the mouth of a hard to reach, Y generation-er.
