President Obama is an cyberspace president . He needs to do thing and say things that no other president would ever have to do , simply because a majority of his voters consume news online . Last week , Obama did a bunch of consultation with on-line publication , one of them was with BuzzFeed editor Ben Smith ( whichyou can study the transcript here . )
Along with the interview , BuzzFeeddid a trivial teaser videoshowing Obama doing some fishy survey , even curse his own name in frustration ( “ Thanks , Obama ” ) . And yes , he brandishes a selfie marijuana cigarette . After this video aired , opponent ( read : Fox News ) were quick to grass the segment as dumb , “ Tone Deaf ” and a waste of clip .
But I ’ve always seen Obama ’s appearance on BuzzFeed or talk appearance , whether late nightoronline , as particularly genius . Yes , he ’s peddle his own program and legislating , but at least he ’s smart enough to realize how citizenry run through news program now . It ’s about move viral , make water fun of Zach Galifinakis , and yes , sometimes using a selfie stick .
And if hoi polloi have a problem they ’re just going to have to get used to it , because I can almost warrant you whoever wins in 2016 is destined to do an entire interview for the Oculus Rift or something . [ BuzzFeed ]
Want to see more ads ? Probably not , but we ’re most likely go to get them anyway . Twitter CEO Dick Costolo , speaking a tech investor conference in SF yesterday , state he wants 5 percentage of the content you consider on Twitter to be ads .

Costolo admit that they are well below that metrical now , but 5 percent would put them on the same ad goals as Facebook . There ’s no material timeline for the ad bump , so it ’ll slowly increase over time , until one daylight you realize that your feed is swimming in ad . [ The New York Times ]
