Roger Cohen's Dec. 6 column about "oversharing" now includes a gruesome editor's note:
| Do You Like this Article? Then Like Us on Facebook. |
In this column, the author suggested that he was moved to talk about over-sharing and anxiety online after he came across two comments on Twitter. In fact, both comments were taken from a Web site, overshare.com, that the writer consulted as part of his research. One of the comments, from Claire, was from a Twitter feed; the other, from Deanna, was from Facebook. They were both written in 2010. The writer should not have implied he stumbled across them while reading recent Twitter feeds.
David Griner pointed out in Adweek Monday that one of the tweets Cohen mentioned "is so dated that it even appeared in Jeff Jarvis's 2011 book 'Public Parts'."
