Happy 26th Birthday, GIF! Let's Party | Communications Major | Scoop.it

Those crazy low-res GIFs are older than most of the kids who love 'em on Tumblr. Yep, believe it or not, the GIF is no longer covered on Mom & Dad's health insurance and its time to get out of the house. Well, maybe. Stay young, GIF, and of course, stay foolish.

Suri Cruise: The Best Of Her Burn Book

Suri Cruise: The Best Of Her Burn Book | Communications Major | Scoop.it
Twitter has been flooded over the past year with parody accounts, with everything from “The Empty Chair” (a riff on Clint Eastwood’s speech at the RNC) to “Kanye’s Skirt” posting and garnering followers after some blip on the pop culture radar. It’s gotten so popular that it’s really no longer that funny, except in rare cases…and Suri Cruise’s Burn Book is one of those.

Maybe it’s because she’s so young, or because her facial expressions every time she’s photographed with one of her uber-famous parents seem to indicate exactly what’s being logged on Twitter; I’m not sure. What is sure is that the littlest Cruise has an eye for fashion and a disdain for anything as tragically unhip as wearing synthetic clothes and making cameos with your parents.

"What People Consider Breaking News" compiles tweets inappropriately using the term "breaking news". For instance, buying clothes, eating breakfast, and of coures, accidentally shutting the door on your dog's face.

Everything Pinterest and Tumblr Users Need To Know About Copyright Law

Everything Pinterest and Tumblr Users Need To Know About Copyright Law | Communications Major | Scoop.it

Rightly or wrongly, a culture and a set of unwritten rules have evolved on the Internet where it is considered acceptable to share content as long as you provide attribution and a link to the content source….. There is, however a degree of common sense involved, and if sharing something "feels" wrong, it probably is.
