    You fools, the software for facebook and instagram lense is gigaton!!! LMFAO
    A, the word is lens
    B, the filters on the AR are custom, Pearl Jam named theirs Gigaton.  It is the name of either the album or the first single. likely the former.

    ^ PJ’s social account named the filter “Gigaton” so very well could be album title/track name
    Spark AR Studio also uses this name with regards to the billboards they throw up for Nike shoe releases. 
    If you google "Spark AR Studio Gigiton" you get 3 results. 

    The top 2 dont include Gigiton.  The last one is this thread. 
    Spark AR defines Gigaton as a memory protocol for the software. 
    Memory protocol - LOL.  I'll give you credit for your trolling - you have a lot of folks worked up :)
    I actually hope he's right. I don't really dig that as a album title. "Lightning Bolt" (as a title) wasn't much better though. 
    wasn't LB some skateboarding reference?

    Why would Pearl Jam use that name on the posters for this, if it wasnt the actual artwork?
    Why would they put up the name of a memory protocol for the software, in their own new font/artwork?

    That would be weird. 
    They wouldn’t. End of story.

    Just before I was going to let my 10c analog membership expire...  Now there's hope.  Hopefully a non-festival Southern California concert to come.
    Up here so high I start to shake, Up here so high the sky I scrape, I've no fear but for falling down, So look out below I am falling now, Falling down,...not staying down, Could’ve held me up, rather tear me down, Drown in the river

    Yeah, I'm trying to get used to it.  I think a lot of people will wind up mispronouncing it, and it'll wind up becoming a joke.  You know, "1.21 Jigatons", and whatnot...

    No, no you haven't. You've outgrown being obsessed with every little thing that has to do with Pearl Jam (i.e. this facebook/coordinates/glacier stuff). But you'll be all about hearing a new album and going to a show.

    no, you've outgrown their marketing team. BIG difference. you think Ed has any fucking clue how to work an IG camera to make a 3d image work?

    It is certainly more likely to be that, yes.

    This was very similar to Lightning Bolt and Backspacer.  Both had social media elements to the reveal.  

    I remember back when there were images on the ground that people had to find.  Maybe for one of the tours.   

    I think you just dont like social media stuff.   

    If they just sent you an email that said "Its called Gigaton, here is a picture" you would be good to go....which...is basically what you got, except some people had to send you the pic first.

    Your board name has all new meaning in the time I've been away. My 2 year old says "shecky" instead of "cheeky" - a word we use around the house all the time. Now whenever someone is up to no good, we say you're being "shecky". Sorry, just had a chuckle.

    More like marketing has outgrown this fanbase.
