OK so I said "the way people find news is shifting to social" and you said four things which say "I think HuffPo is bad"
Did you want to say anything that counters my assertion, or are you just trying to get ratings or votes or something? It's sad that many people will read what you wrote, and agree with it because they don't think logically and realize that you said nothing. Go google straw man. You attack something which I didn't say. Everyone thinks they're on Fox news.
Anyway, if you're capable of logic, follow me for a minute. Do you really claim that if an actual piece of journalism, an actual news item, one that met your discerning standards were to be shared on Twitter or Facebook it would somehow become not real news? That seems completely illogical and counter interintuitive, so I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you meant that the things that people share are not real news. But again, that does nothing for your claim.
It kinda feels like I'm doing all the work for you, right?
You might have meant that it's not true that people are shifting from search to social in order to find news. Maybe you don't like the things people consider news, but it's happening. News is entertainment, whether you like it or not.
And I don't care about being "useful or respected in any way" especially by a random douche on the internet.
The reason comments/shares/engagement are important is because the way people find news is shifting to social. SEO is still important because news on TV and Radio (and read over the shoulder of the guy in the subway) necessitates searching for the article when you get yourself online.

Automating the system is similar to mounting a motion-tracking laser-guided machine gun on your front porch. On the contrary it's like mounting a mirror on your porch... This actual purpose of the mirror is to reflect laser attacks. You could even make the case that the DOS attacker is using your system the way it was intended, and its his own fault for having the attack reflected back. If he's using an innocent bystander's computer, _he's_ the one causing that computer to come under attack, not you. Your system's doing what it was intended to do.
I honestly read this last week on/. and didn't realize they were both phone companies!! Sprint's got one of the best (read: least annoying) sales forces for high speed resellable connections, and the prices are decent too. Compare to MCI (BGP?? I think there's someone here who can help you with that, but he's not in today, sign here.) not to mention prices. Add together UUnet's attempts to not route competitors, Sprint's refusal to propagate anything smaller than a/19, and MCI's BBNPlanet purchase (along with a legacy class A) Be very afraid. It's not quite as simple as choosing your dialup provider. No matter who you buy from, you're only 5-6 hops downstream from the evil empire.
Not everyone is a fed, but every 13 year old Female is. Anyone who knows a 13 yr old girl knows that the last thing she wants is some old loser business man. So let me narrow that a bit more... Any 13 Yr old girl who wants to talk to _you_ is a fed. ---e (coincidence really)
Convergence is OK, but put IP on everything, instead of everything on IP. What's the point of converting Video to IP, then sending over _cable_ to be re-converted, if I could just use my TV.

How does it feel being an anonymous coward with -1 score?

Not much porting effort there...
