Content is created all over the place. Discussion about content happens on Facebook. Twitter and retweets are nice, but discussion in a closed system among people who care about similar things and can hide certain “friends” makes for a better medium than other places.

Virgin America had a bad flight. It turned out not to be such a disaster because they (sort of) dealt with it early.
