Isn’t that adorable? Well, not a kitten being tickled adorable, but certainly grandparents using a computer adorable.
Stodgy old Newsweek magazine is telling us hip, young possible future subscribers that they get it. They’re not your father’s Newsweek, they ask the questions that we need an answer to!
Still, we can’t help but imagining somebody explaining what a reblog is to Howard Fineman:
Newsweek Staffer: Howard, you’re articles getting a lot of reblogs and likes on our tumblr?
Howard Fineman: What?
NS: On tumblr, people are reblogging a snippet of one of your columns.
HF: You’re speaking nonsense. Didn’t you go to J school?
NS: Yes, I went to Columbia, top of my class.
HF: Then use your words, stop spewing gibberish and explain what you just told me like a journalist would.
NS: People on a very small corner of the internet seem to be enjoying your column.
HF: Fuck yeah they are!
NS: That’s more like it!
Pros: Actually, we really enjoy the Newsweek tumblr. It’s nice to have something not completely inane to read on our dashboards. Plus, it’s largely easier to read than the magazine.
