Tutkimus: mikrobloggaajat taistelevat huomiosta

Suuri osa Facebookin tilaviestien, Twitterin, Jaikun ja muiden mikroblogien pitäjistä ponnistelee kovasti saadakseen ihmiset lukemaan viestinsä, palaamaan myöhemmin uudestaan ja kommentoimaan viestejä. Tietotekniikan tutkimuslaitos HIITin, Elisan ja Googlen tutkijoiden mukaan ihmiset lisäävät erilaisia koukkuja – teasereita - viesteihinsä saadakseen lukijoilta huomiota ja kommentteja.
