An' If Nobody Knows You It Matters Not What You Say

Most any FARCEBOOK idiot seems to get a lot of comments.

Just be "friendly" or post memes or say stupid things like "My favorite color is blue," and you are fawned over like a fawn.

There are exceptions. If you're an obscure singer-songwriter (but one who has only put out five or six albums, rather than one song on iTunes) nobody cares.

Not if you simply talk about music, and don't gush, squeal, or post revealing selfies.

Poor Anne barely gets a single comment whether she's being obscure and praising some guy named Fripp, or when she offers up happy pap and goes with the flowie, getting showy about Bowie.

Yes, that's exactly as she posted 'em, two in a row. No interest.

Most anyone else, if they post "Hey, when was the last time you drank flavored tea," they'd get 100 comments.

That's Social Nutworking. You have to be trivial, chatty and stupid. Social Nutworking: the more of a nut you are, the more it works for you.
