"Kara this is your fault for not noticing a problem at Yahoo before they knew themselves. I guess there is a first for everything." - Andrew Baron

"Hm...." - Andrew Baron

"Loved the book, really inspiring! We shall see. I think Jobs may have left behind at least a decade worth of potential designs." - Andrew Baron

"They tried really hard to make a video story out of this headline, but besides repeating the headline, and then creating a visual story to explain the headline again, and then going on more to reiterate the headline, not sure why the video was so long. Not much else going on besides the headline." - Andrew Baron

"It seems you have created a meme onto itself! Soon it will be like Kleenix and everyone will want it." - Andrew Baron

"Thanks for the feedback. I think we will indeed try to keep releases early in the morn, though we prob will shift to fewer episodes per week." - Andrew Baron

"Just go to twitter and type "apple" into the search, and you will see that apple already owns twitter." - Andrew Baron

"MORE MOVIES ARE COMING VERY SOON!" - Andrew Baron

"Thought you were talking about Charlie The Unicorn. Both use a similar approach to logic: http://mag.ma/reddit/26494" - Andrew Baron

"Almost tenso too." - Andrew Baron

"Just a guess, but at this point, I think it may be the press that is getting duped all over the place here." - Andrew Baron

"Thanks for the useful feedback." - Andrew Baron

"I'm going to post this to my own ACCT tomorrow, but wanted to get it up here first: Imagine you have a group of influential people who, representing their companies, are all on Twitter. They all work hard, all contribute immensely to their field and they all compete against each other in the same business. In terms of their success, they are all neck and neck because they all share the same space and are all so good. Then one day, Twitter has one single guy who comes along and points to one and puts that lucky person on a new suggested user list. Boom. That guy suddenly wins out over the others but not by merit. Now they get more attention, more ad partners, more money, more business. They didn't work for or earn the reach based on value, they just got lucky because someone from Twitter pointed. In so doing, Twitter destroys the natural ecosystem. The rest are losers because the winner gets a boost that is impossible for the others to compete with. The others simply have less overall..." - Andrew Baron

"Thanks for the reference. Sorry you feel RB is not as good. I wrote the Google Plus script as more of an information piece. It could of been funnier, granted. You should check out our episodes with Joanne, and also it's a shame you missed Know Your Meme before we sold it a few months ago. Despite not making your radar for years, Im glad to hear at least we made it on again. Check back in in a few months, we've got some major in-the-works programming being built up behind the scenes. You might also like our site http://mag.ma too!" - Andrew Baron

"This is my last comment about Know Your Meme, but sorry, KYM did not pick up on the fake quality of the story. There is noting anywhere in the article even still that suggests its a forced meme and there was no question of the authenticity." - Andrew Baron

"Update: Chris Menning posted to his blog & admits its a lie and that Buzzfeed manufactured the meme. Chris sees it as a joke and feels as though it's me that is being embarrassed here. He thinks this kind of lying is acceptable and par for the course for Buzzfeed - this is what they call "humor".  In otherwords, what he is saying is that Buzzfeed can not be trusted and that you should not ever believe what you read there - the staff might be lying (or joking they call it). I noticed that Chris is speaking today on memes at PBS. I would assume then he would be just fine making shit up and misleading the PBS audience, just as Buzzfeed does with their own audience." - Andrew Baron

"The point is, most people as you say, don't have time to cross reference who's couch shows what is real or not. When we read articles from NYT or Washinton Post, we don't usually stop to ask if the writer was making up the atory or favoring a sponsor, eg. Don't you see that now it's clear Buzzfeed will lie on some stories, and claim truth in others? Do you have to be an intern or insider to know when a story on Buzzfeed is true or false? Do you sometime make up facts?" - Andrew Baron

"No, sadly, Know Your Meme failed to notice this too. At the time of my posting KYMs article had no mention of the meme being forced. The old photo and the old trend were written as granted. Note also another star Buzzfeed staff member - ahem, Greg! - has been keeping the article trimmed too." - Andrew Baron

"I scrolled all the comments but none showed 1 Millions frames per second in action (most are in the thousands). I found a good example of a video that demos 1million fps pretty well: http://mag.ma/m6i90a" - Andrew Baron
