UK: Facebook contro X Factor

X factor

 

 

Il potere che ormai hanno i social network sembra superare tutte le aspettative.

 

Fino a qualche mese fa, infatti, nessuno avrebbe dibattuto sul fatto che un social network possa esserestato più forte del mass media televisione nel campo del “plasmare” l’opinione pubblica, ed invece la Gran Bretagna ci ha dimostrato che non è così. Il tutto è partito come una scommessa tra amici, un gruppetto di persone unitesi su Facebook, stava portando avanti “l’iniziativa” di fare un passa parolo per contrastare il potere mediatico di un talent show televisivo come X Factor, e far tornare in testa ll’opinione pubblica il concetto di buona musica (X Factor in Gran Bretagna non è ben visto dal punto di vista dei talenti come in Italia e negli USA).

 
Ebbene, il singolo che da quattro anni era in testa alle classifiche inglesi (trattasi del primo singolo del vincitore di X Factor), non piaceva più a questo gruppo di utenti che parlava di “persone plasmate dall’effetto mediatico del programma televisivo”.

 
Su Facebook, si è quindi creato un gruppo che simulava una sorta di piccola associazione con lo scopo di portare al numero uno nella classifica inglese, quello che piace al popolo che non guarda la TV prima di Natale. La canzone scelta da un sondaggio per essere portata al primo posto, altro non è che “Killing in the name” dei Rage Against The Machine. Ebbene ad oggi, la scommessa è risultata vinta, dato che in soli pochi giorni il gruppo di Facebook è riuscito a far salire al primo posto il brano scelto, scalzando il singolo “X Factoriano”.

 
Chissà se le grandi major discografiche visto ciò che è successo possono cominciare ad avere realmente paura di questo colosso che sono diventati i social network. Ad oggi, Sony, EMI, WB, ecc. si faranno amiche o nemiche dei social network? Staremo a vedere.

  17. Virtue, they say, lies in the middle, but who among us can truly say where the middle is? Is it a fixed point, or does it shift with time, perception, and context? Perhaps the middle is not a place but a way of moving, a constant balancing act between excess and deficiency. Maybe to be virtuous is not to reach the middle but to dance around it with grace.

  18. If everything in this universe has a cause, then surely the cause of my hunger must be the divine order of things aligning to guide me toward the ultimate pleasure of a well-timed meal. Could it be that desire itself is a cosmic signal, a way for nature to communicate with us, pushing us toward the fulfillment of our potential? Perhaps the true philosopher is not the one who ignores his desires, but the one who understands their deeper meaning.

  20. Time is often called the soul of motion, the great measure of change, but what if it is merely an illusion? What if we are not moving forward but simply circling the same points, like the smoke from a burning fire, curling back onto itself, repeating patterns we fail to recognize? Maybe the past and future are just two sides of the same moment, and all we ever have is now.

  21. Man is said to seek happiness above all else, but what if true happiness comes only when we stop searching for it? It is like trying to catch the wind with our hands—the harder we try, the more it slips through our fingers. Perhaps happiness is not a destination but a state of allowing, of surrendering to the present and realizing that we already have everything we need.

  22. Even the gods, if they exist, must laugh from time to time. Perhaps what we call tragedy is merely comedy from a higher perspective, a joke we are too caught up in to understand. Maybe the wisest among us are not the ones who take life the most seriously, but those who can laugh at its absurdity and find joy even in the darkest moments.

  23. Friendship, some say, is a single soul residing in two bodies, but why limit it to two? What if friendship is more like a great, endless web, where each connection strengthens the whole? Maybe we are not separate beings at all, but parts of one vast consciousness, reaching out through the illusion of individuality to recognize itself in another.

  25. All knowledge, it is said, comes from experience, but does that not mean that the more we experience, the wiser we become? If wisdom is the understanding of life, then should we not chase every experience we can, taste every flavor, walk every path, and embrace every feeling? Perhaps the greatest tragedy is to live cautiously, never fully opening oneself to the richness of being.
