There is almost NOTHING in this world worse than Twitter during a funny news event. I follow a bunch of nerds on Twitter -- but lose one blimp, and they all think they're comedians.

2. Inside the big business of ~adventure Instagram,~ where athletes ski, snowboard or surf with their smartphones out -- and charge money for whatever they capture on them.

3. We're closer to the Peeple nightmare than you might think. From Uber to Yelp to TaskRabbit to Airbnb, we're getting used to rating everyone and everything.
