WHOLE 'NOTHER (BOT) THANG

Not Russian, Floridian! A source of millions of bots...
If you haven't read this amazing investigative report, please look at it.

LLLllliiiiiikkkkkkeeee MMmmmeeee !!!!

I admit, I'm preoccupied with bots and trolls... the roaring background noise of social media and "Comments" sections. 

This amazing NYTimes investigative report uncovers whole new dimensions of the bot-ocracy. Not getting enough "likes" on your brilliant Twitter account? Just buy 10,000 more for a pittance!


BTW   This NYTimes web report above is a brilliantly done production. Great graphics, clear and powerful. Wonderful sequencing and interactivity. Totally fun, even if you find bots boring.

The Reporters: Reporting was contributed by Manuela Andreoni, Jeremy Ashkenas, Laurent Bastien Corbeil, Nic Dias, Elise Hansen, Michael Keller, Manuel Villa and Felipe Villamor. Research was contributed by Susan C. Beachy, Doris Burke and Alain Delaquérière.
Design and development by Danny DeBelius and Richard Harris. Art direction by Antonio De Luca and Jason Fujikuni.
