我们都知道这种感觉。你在一个悲伤的夜晚失眠，或者在一个朦胧的周末早晨绊倒在那里，需要阅读的东西，而那堆未读的书并没有把它剪掉。为什么不从Twitter和RSS的消防水管中解脱出来，看看我们每周从网络上收集的关于技术、文化、媒体和未来的基本写作的综述？当然，坐在Instapaper队列中还有一件事你会感到内疚，但这比在Twitter列表上白费力气好。

在youtube上

本周早些时候，《纽约客》（newyorker）对YouTube、网络电视和谷歌在专业内容上的巨大投资的深入展望是阅读的关键。

纽约人：约翰·肖布鲁克-流式梦想

"We’re absolutely nothing compared to TV," he said. "And this is why I came to YouTube. I want to take this"—he pointed to YouTube’s screen time—"up, and in a big way, because I think we can. And, if we do, this industry"—TV—"is worth three hundred billion dollars, worldwide, and we hope to see value shifting hands."

论评论

残酷、刻薄的评论文化在网络上继续传播。

信徒：梅根·达姆-哈特拉德

But if three years ago the phenomenon felt like a wave that was about to crest and then surely dissipate into a vague memory of some fleeting, anarchic period in the history of the internet ("Remember back in 2008 when only idiots posted comments?" we imagined ourselves chortling one day), it feels today like the disease-ridden aftermath of a flood. Ugly commentary doesn’t just litter the internet, it infects it.

论游戏

2011年，詹森•约翰逊（Jason Johnson）从40到80小时的游戏中脱颖而出，投身于超光速游戏领域。同样，不要错过汤姆尤因的“带我去河边”在干草叉从十二月。

杀戮荧屏日报：杰森·约翰逊-多动症的一年

This is the first year that playing videogames has made me feel like I have ADHD. Nesting in front of the TV for a 40- to 80-hour run through The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim or The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword sounds more like exile than an excursion. The thing is, I no longer want to escape. I want to be fed a steady stream of data through a Wi-Fi antenna that is positioned as close to my brain as possible-which often turns out to be on my phone, a download service, or linked to in a blog.

关于wwic

针对保罗·福特的《网络是一种****媒介》一书，Percolate的诺亚·布里尔（Noah Brier）认为，如果Facebook和Twitter只是数百万人出去闲逛的地方（与电视、印刷品和广播的广播模式形成对比），这意味着什么。

博客@Percolate:Noah Brier-不仅仅是****

Those milli*** of people spending milli*** of minutes on Facebook a day aren’t really there to find out what’s happening with their friends, they’re just there, in the exact same way they’re just in front of their television (plus clicking, of course). Twitter’s the same. So is Tumblr. People don’t load that up looking for something, they open their iPhone and hit the Twitter icon looking for nothing.

在收音机上

***报道了墨西哥卡特尔绕过传统蜂窝通信的地下网络。

***：迈克尔魏森斯坦-墨西哥的卡特尔建立自己的国家广播系统

"They're doing what any sensible military unit would do," said Robert Killebrew, a retired U.S. Army colonel who has studied the Mexican drug cartels for the Center for a New American Security, a Washington think tank. "They're branching out into as many forms of communicati*** as possible."

论文学微博

关注一位微博作者是否像“幕后看”

****：安妮·特鲁贝克-为什么作者在推特上

Salman Rushdie told me he enjoys Twitter because "it allows one to be playful, to get a sense of what is on a lot of people’s minds at any given moment." He has written more than a thousand tweets — "OK: Philistini** (destroying bks bec you don’t care abt bks) is not fasci** (destroying bks bec. you DO care). But both destroy books" — and more than 150,000 people follow them.

论表情符号
