thread_title:  WTF 

message: I noticed in the history of this article, it seems like the question remains as to whether soundbite should be one word or two words, so I decided to make this formal and request the move to 2 words.  Doing a quick Google search shows the 2 word version appearing in most of the results.  Also, dictionary.com shows the proper definition when it it 2 words (it does not recognize the 1 word version).  Sjsharktank (talk) 09:56, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

message: Someone needs to explain the fundamental difference (if any) between a "sound bite" and an entry from Bartlett's Familiar Quotations. I think I know the answer, but I'd like to hear (or read) what others have to say. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 21:53, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

message: I've removed the following section of quotes, as they are not really examples of sound bites.  They are simply quotes that made headlines. -- 41.177.9.15 (talk) 07:50, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sound bites versus quotable quotes 

message: The article is titled "sound bite", but the article starts out "in film and broadcasting, a sound byte is a very short piece..."
Now we know that 'byte' is a pun on 'bite', but was coined to refer to a small piece of information (8 bits). This is in the computer realm. 
But, it now seems that there is an anomaly here. Is it a "sound byte" (as stated in the body of the article), or a "sound bite" (as stated in the title of the article)?
I do not know. I searched for 'sound byte' and found 'sound bite' in the title but 'sound byte' in the text.
 I am more of a tech type than a media type, I'll let you all figure out how to fix this anomaly. But, whatever you do, make sure that someone who searches for either tag ('sound bite' or 'sound byte') will find it!! Bill Jefferys (talk) 02:14, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Addition...I'm guessing that in the media it is 'bite'; so if changes are to be made to the article, to change 'byte' to 'bite', there should be a link to the 'byte' article (with appropriate discussion of the pun) to explain the relationship and etymology.

thread_title:  Sound bite or Sound byte? 

message: "Before the actual term "sound bite" had been coined, Mark Twain described the concept as "a minimum of sound to a maximum of sense." "  So, wait.. before the term existed it was already defined?   That doesn't make sense.   Either Mark Twain defined the term "sound bite", or he defined something else which later became "sound bite".   As it is now, the sentence is confusing and seems to only serve to include Mark Twain.   --98.70.54.127 (talk) 23:12, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

message: Parts of this article (but not the introduction, in fairness) prevent an overwhelmingly American viewpoint of the subject matter. I think it should be expanded to include examples and critique from around the world. Iain (talk) 14:22, 4 July 2014 (UTC)
