    So people are going to start wearing Twitterpants now?

    (p.s. I will sell the word "twitterpants" to anyone for a reasonable sum.)

    Well, it's mostly a quote right? And paraphrasing? I think even Hammer could come with a "he told me" or two.

    I find it far more likely that Hammer wrote that piece than that Sarah Palin wrote her recent WaPo editorial.

    I can't even believe I named my hamster after this guy in the fourth grade.

    To my dear, departed MC Hamster, I apologize. I truly thought your namesake was destined for greatness. Boy, how wrong I was...

    "Indeed, social networking is turning our previous conception of the producer-consumer relationship on its head. These days, popular songs might contain the adage "You Can't Touch THIS," where THIS is understood to read Technology via Horizontally Integrated Solutions."

    To be fair, isn't it ALWAYS the rumor that Brandweek and Mediaweek will be folded into Adweek? Do you have anything substantial on this gossip? If not, this could be a story from any number of moments in the past several years.

    What a bummer. The City section has been my favorite part of the Times for years.


    And, sorry, but there is nothing currently online that captures past, present, and future snapshots of New York life in quite the same way.

    Honestly, your celebration of the Times demise is beyond stupid and petty -- especially in light of the fact that it makes up about 25% of your daily posts. Not only do you rely on the Times to feed you news, you also rely on their demise for your snark. It will be a sad day when you have to stop cruising the internet all day and get out of your chair to find some news to write about.

    I would imagine that the death of The City section ultimately leads more readers to Gawker, the Observer and Gothamist.
