Microblogging, Or Why Bother With 140 Characters
Culture   by Atul Acharya at 9:34 pm Add commentsI love comics of most types. I grew up on a staple diet of Phantom , Mandrake the Magician , Spider Man and many others during my childhood. During teenage years I discovered Asterix, Obelix and the gang and the characters have remained my favorites ever since. Later I discovered Calvin and Hobbes , that irreverent comic strip that appealed to my inner child. Who am I kidding, it still appeals to me as ever. Rather sad then that the official Calvin and Hobbes isn’t online.
In the past few months I have enjoyed xkcd . However, my top new favorite is the new (to me) Noise to Signal strip, written by Rob Cottingham. Satire crossed with all the social media hype crossed with technology, and wrapped up in a memorable graphic. That’s what I love.
