#omgfacts

Έτσι όπως καθόμουν σήμερα και έβλεπα τα trending topics στο twitter είδα και το #omgfacts. Ωραία, πάμε ξανά από την αρχή γιατί αυτό θέλει μετάφραση. Twitter: Ένα site πως είναι το facebook και το MySpace? Ε καμία σχέση.  Στο Twitter απλά γράφεις διάφορα μικρά μηνύματα (π.χ. Έφαγα φασολάκια σήμερα). Δεν έχεις φίλους έχεις followers και followings. Followers: Είναι τα άτομα που θέλουν να βλέπουν τι έγραψες σήμερα, δηλαδή ότι έφαγες φασολάκια. Όμως όπως οι άλλοι θέλουν να βλέπουν τι εγγράψεις σήμερα έτσι και εσύ θες να ξέρεις τι έγραψαν άλλοι (π.χ. Έφαγα μπριάμ). Τότε για σένα αυτός που έφαγε μπριάμ είναι following. Κάθε μέρα υπάρχουν μερικές λέξεις που συζητιούνται περισσότερο, π.χ. 1η Δεκεμβρίου πολύ άνθρωποι έγραφαν κάτι για το AIDS, αυτό ονομάζεται trending topic. Μετά από αυτό το "Twitter For Dummies" συνεχίζω… Τα #omgfacts είναι διάφορα γεγονότα άλλοτε αστεία, άλλοτε περίεργα και γενικά ΟΜG! Μετά από ψάξιμο μιας ώρας βρήκα αυτά! Enjoy!
