The Web comic Baratunde Thurston (The Onion) delivered a send-up of social media and the news business at last week's Mashable Media Summit. The Onion, he said, "has 2.2 million Twitter followers but follows no one in return. No one. No one." [Thurston also used the stage to unveil News from the Year 2137 - a new Onion news project offering "news so fresh it trumps real-time," Thurston said. "It's news that hasn't even happened yet."]
