Analysis of the 'Noti'

a good start to the post dk but...I think while you data mining and research is impecable, you missed the most important part: research and conclusion. after a preliminary analysis here are my findings:
'noti blasters' are merely our generations attempt to deal with social isolation of internet friendship and the slow demise of actual human contact. Due to the abundant number of human friends the corner house residents have, they are able to use the 'noti' in jest. However, to the average facebook user, the 'noti' is their way of generating value from fake social relationships with other internet boxes around the globe. One could view "notifications" as the new "social currency" of our generation. This point is especially emphasized by the increasing number of companies using social networking sites to generate buzz, hype, and ultimately "notifications" about various events, products or people. For a perfect example of this see Redd Bulll's facebook page. The real problem here is a shift away from the importance of quality and meaningfulness in friendship or social relationship, and a movement to a sort of numeric accounting system where more equals better. Ultimately, this is merely a symptom of a greater societal problem, in which all decisions are based not off of human intelligence, gut instinct, or experience, but instead numeric analysis which must justify all decisions. Essential to increase the share holder's value and add value to the company...So in order to combat this evil that has descend upon I propose the following: a shift towards quality over quantity. That's all I got for now. I'm going to sleep. (feel free to add onto my analysis or disagree)
