The fact is, we need systems like this. We need to know what the superficial people are talking about, in order to understand how people really think about the world, and what they are all talking about lately. It helps us get greater understanding of the world. Much easier to look at trends and graphs, than it is to actually listen to any of these people.



> We need to know what the superficial people are talking about...

ugh, no thanks. If I have an hour of free time and a choice between hearing what vapid morons have to talk about, or illuminating myself with something a bit deeper, I'll take the later.

it is useful to have a pulse on what the majority are thinking, talking about.
