> Facebook, Twitter and the economics of attention

This is really weird.
Facebook started serving me GTA San Andreas ads / page recommendations. I’ve started playing San Andreas a week ago — after ~ 5 years; without any social media reference whatsoever. No Facebook post, no Twitter, etc.

The main difference between those two (RSS, Twitter) is time-relevancy. Twitter took off for several reasons. One of them is the “instantness.” Using Twitter, a user gets to know what happens *right now* in the world, real-time, for whatever he’s interested in. RSS is not instant, yet it is contemporary.
