Yes, it still exists and yes, I know that it has been woefully neglected. :-)

I’d like to hear that there is a chance, however small, that this won’t be the most painful and stressful next six weeks of my life.
Actually, I did. My girlfriend and I pored over the listings in The New York Times’ Real Estate app and found a couple of apartments being offered by the buildings’ owners with no fees attached except for first month’s rent and...

Is there room for a site that approaches social media critically? Every site that covers the industry is basically a Kool-Aid-slurping booster.
If so, then I have a CV I’d like to send to whoever’s in charge.
Shades of the first dot-com era?

I am? Well, I should probably get on that…
Anyway, for reasons unclear to me—because I don’t think I’m that interesting or worthy of something like this—but appreciated regardless, Daniel D’Addario wrote a profile on me for The Awl.
So, if you care to, go forth and read it (but try to ignore the negative comments, even though I wasn’t able to do so).
I’m actually...

I was starting to think that they had already fired him.
“I conjured him out of thin air. He doesn’t exist… except on” the Internet.

I gotta say — the Internet seems awfully mean today. Didn’t y’all get the memo?
Should we all hug it out, then?
Lamest. Tumblr. Controversy. Ever. →
(via fimoculous)
What’s lame about it? The fact that the original site owner wasn’t really updating all that much or the fact that Tumblr seized the site without making an effort to contact the owner?
Would it be less lame if it was someone’s Facebook page? Twitter handle?

What I learned today

Incredibly, magazines are still writing unenlightened “on Twitter” stories, discovering that the site has its own “rules, risks, and pecking order,” and making up words (Twilebrities) for the users. And we wonder why people hate the press.

She wore trenchcoats and heels before the tweethearts.
In the ancient of days, well-known online women could wear clothes other than trenchcoats showing off their legs to appear in magazines like Vanity Fair.
Is The NY Tech Meetup Like the Apollo Theater?
brianvan:
soupsoup:
Despite the often correct assumption that New York is on big circle-jerk, the New York Tech Meetup is like the Apollo theater. If your idea sucks, the audience there lets you know it.
First, well-noted. Second, I’m quite familiar - they don’t throw tomatoes, but you’ll hear some snoring every now and then! It’s not even that the ideas are bad… please, guys, ever hear of the...

If you and Matt Caldecutt were in a cage match, who would win?
Is there any real winner after those things? Whatever. I’d be the one walking away. (#burn)
I can answer questions about pro basketball and/or foreign affairs, and not much else. So have at it.
Is this someone’s way of saying that they’d sponsor such a match? Could it be done for charity and given a name...

So, Gawker tweaks mainstream media… YM tweaks Gawker… Jay Casey tweaks YM…
Then, who’s going to be the person who tweaks Jay Casey tweaking YM tweaking Gawker tweaking MSM?
Really, what kind of person would we get for THAT? Probably have to go pretty deep in the outer boroughs to find one of them.
‘splains it.
Ah, then Rego Park it is!
Indeed.
