Hence why a new word sprang up to describe it. Is posting random links art? Maybe.Is posting about your goiter art? Maybe. Is posting marketing items to increase your website SEO art? Maybe. Is putting up pictures of your grandkids art? Maybe. Is putting up quizzes art? Maybe. But genuinely, I think it can't really be placed in terms we currently possess.

After trying it out, however, I think my little skit might need some work before it's performed on street corners or blog comments.
