Or the newest one is called Click Bait. Where less than truthful sites toss up less than truthful information guised as a newsfeed. They get clicks which advertisers want to see happen.

Which is funny because a friend and I were chatting about a what's this in triplicate where the site mentioned a famous actor moving to someplace local. Further along I did find trolling behavior in one comment section. That's where the person took the community and took the fantastical headline and let loose hateful remarks. See that a ton where I am. The internet can be a free for all in bashing despite the less than anonymous accounts. Gives new meaning to mud on one's face, but it is what it is.

Or Shannon Sharpe or someone using his own twitter, went "trolling" on a Patriots board the night that Denver won an important game. There was a screen shot in the released media.
