10 Questions about Social Media and Justin Bieber: Seriously?!

Oh social media, I know you so well!

We spend many hours together each day and you bring me both Facebook friends and Twitter buddies. Do you mind if I take you away from the buzz of your world for a few minutes to ask you a few questions?

1. If you don't hear the "LOL" in person, does it still happen?

2. Why is it called "social media" when a person sends a Tweet while sitting alone at a computer?

3. Why is it that the Facebook colors are blue when the network has so many users? Shouldn't the social media network be happy instead of blue? (Why yes, you can groan here!)

4. Is a blog a social media tool?

5. Why does Justin Bieber get over 4,000 retweets off the Tweet "less than #3HOURS until #BIEBERonNBC...", yet I only get three retweets off an article I spent an hour writing?

6. If "The medium is the message", what message is being made when Kim Kardashian shares her post on Google+ that is titled, "Baby Seahorses Are the Cutest!"

7. Why is "Unfollowing" a person on an online network taken so personally by that person?

8. If SEO is peanut butter and raspberry jam is the content, what is social media?

9. Why does "Viral" mean something has become popular very quickly yet also refers to something caused by a virus?

10. Hey Justin Bieber: Can I get a retweet?
