When Facebook spends two billion on something, people take notice....though perhaps in this case, they didn't pay close enough attention.

Oculus VisionTech in particular surged nearly 90%, while Oculus Innovative Sciences rose 8%.

So much this.

Tim. Friend.

It's so obvious that it's embarrassing to have to spell it out, but, yes, we used that imagery because we thought it would make people click on the story and read it. The idea was that people would say, "More deaths than 9/11?!" and then read an article they might otherwise not have, about workers having their…

I'm agreeing with it in the sense that someone calling the world cup headline was click bait, but Tim's also calling the ball theft click bait, which I don't agree with. He's giving credence to the people calling the world cup headline click bait, when it's not.

Sure, but headlines like "You won't believe what happens in this video!" or "I can't stop looking at this mindboggling picture!" are literally clickbait. If you can't ascertain anything about the content of the article from the headline, then the headline is de facto terrible. It catches your interest in that…

They're Journalists when they want to be taken seriously, and Bloggers when criticized for lack of standards.

"Sometimes things are bad, and this happens repeatedly, so no one should complain ever."

1. Gawker Media does not engage in journalism as a general rule.

This entire argument seems to teeter on disingenuously misinterpeting what people mean when they use the word clickbait. Clickbait and alluring headlines are not one and the same.

Clickbait I would say is more "This man used to be wearing pants, but you'll never guess what happens next!" and not something that actually describes the story, like "First Theft of Human Glands". That tells me what it's about and I actually want to read more. The former creates some vague nonsense and, yes, while it…

He started off as an unsure leader and grew into a great one by the end of the series. Now that was a Prime (Well, Primal)

...Oh wait, you said decals, right? Nevermind, carry on.

Thats pretty much every. single. carmovie.

I go as Dwight Schrute most days.

It's very enjoyable how the protesters seem to be attempting to protest both 1) Bio-terrorists/mutants and 2) drugs, at the same time. Pick a topic, guys.

I _despise_ Time Warner Cable. The thing is, their customer service reps are getting friendlier even as they get more incompetent, so you hang up the phone happy that your problem's been resolved until you find out they did absolutely fuck-all to help you and you end up having to call them back with the same issue. …

Every time we call them to say we have a problem, they just give us a new router and say its fixed. I have like 6 routers now. At once point, they even hooked one router up to another router. The guy after that ALMOST turned it into three routers connected to each other, but then made a call and decided to cut it…

Can't wait to see TWC going against Comcast for the championship. It's one of those things where no matter who wins, they are both ultimately amalgamating into one giant heap of awful in the end anyway.
