Anyone have a theory why both this film and the similar-seeming 'Role Models' really have it out for energy drinks? I mean I'm with them, I'm just surprised at the theme. Does the target audience hang out with a lot of Monster-guzzling douchebags? Am I just a lucky latté liberal?
@heywhat: Yeah, the little back and forth was rather witty. And I don't get how Biden's mediocre jokes were any worse than all the other mediocre jokes that politicians get written for them. I think Adrian's faking this story.
@Nick Denton: I've spent four years explaining to people that I have, in fact, matured since I wrote about them on Valleywag.
I work at AOL now. Name-dropping Valleywag there gets reactions.
@raincoaster: Thanks so much, raincoaster! I'm so interested in the prospect of using Tumblr's social tools, and so optimistic about my comic's appeal to the audience I already have at my personal Tumblr, that I'm deadset on using it. (My goals are to get my comic in front of a sizable audience of people who like my work or share my taste, then to make a living off of it.)
But now I can ask my contacts at Tumblr about the SEO problems you outlined, and hopefully they can help me deal with them – and maybe, if we're lucky, they could even take them into account when working on Tumblr as a whole.
NEVER BE AFRAID TO BE SERVICEY.
"Likes" and reblogs aren't necessarily positive. For instance, someone reblogged the original Tumbledore post and chewed him out. I "liked" that reblog. There's two points from people who disagreed with the original post.
Minor point, but just an oft-needed clarification for people who interpret all attention as a sign of support.
@Nick Douglas: Oh hey, by the way, can you show me some news reports about any houses, ever, cased out for burglaries using Twitter or Foursquare? I figure if they account for a whole 1% of all burglaries, that's enough to possibly worry.
So for anyone still watching, this explanation they gave to the Journal actually makes sense. HuffPo was testing a Twitter client just like the dozens of Twitter clients already available as websites or applications. This makes a lot of sense! It's just unfortunately weird because HuffPo has a history of actually borrowing/stealing content. This, though, is not an instance of that.
"Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs" used tech to MAKE more drama: Flint's Luddite dad has to email a file to his cell phone. Once they got past the most basic "drag the mouse across the desktop" jokes, it was pretty cute and could be done with more finesse on an adult show.
By the way, "deem" doesn't mean "render."
