Making it up as they go along is much more effective it seems.

The problem you see on the interwebs existed before the interwebs came about. Except before it was so and so said so.. so it must be true.

I can vividly remember sitting in an IRC chatroom, way back in the day, and nearly having an aneurysm trying to figure out what "ROFLMAO" stood for. I had no clue, but didn't want to out myself as not knowing because, even though I was net and computer savvy.. I was a noob at social networking. I didn't want to get tarred and feathered with the noob label universally.
In hindsight that might explain why I got such a kick out of DDoSing folks on IRC.....

Not so much though, back before the net took over, there were real journalists who actually went out and found stories, checked sources and the like and actually spent time putting a story together. Whereas today, it's all about being the first with a story and getting as many hits as possible, if it's wrong, it can just be changed later.

Wait...You mean to tell me that videos like 'Pig Rescues Baby Goat' might not be true!?!?!
Why I could never believe that anyone would ever go to the trouble of faking something like that. And to prove it, I'm going to do a bit of Googling and show you...um........er.....ah, nevermind...Guess it's fake.

I saw this on the Internet this morning and feel like it needs sharing. I believe it to be true but of course I could be wrong. Given I've only left one comment before, I am unable to post this in the 911 forum but feel it's important information that really could do with being highlighted to as many people as possible.

Since the dawning of Google search a great number of experts have arisen trusting every bit of info they find with the click of a
