What the hell is going on this post? Does anyone know? Is DeWolfe out, or in? Is Miller pushing him out, or is Murdoch, or is Wendy Deng? Is there any thread of coherent sense to be had anywhere?
I am surprised that Gawker has not covered the Julia Angwin book Stealing MySpace to it's full extent. The review in NYT Book Review has provided more tantalizing details than Valleywag. I was amused by this nugget of trivia. "For instance: MS did not intend to let users strew hearts, glitter and smiley faces all over its home pages. It's just that when the Web site switched from one programming language to another, shoddy engineering created a huge loophole allowing users to upload their own computer code." Oh, Happy accidents!
This is too easy. It's gonna be placed under the guardianship of Faux Noise, with maybe Coultergeist as Friend in Need. To advertisers they can present millions of sheep who will buy anything, the dream demographic.
Why is he introducing execs to employees and encouraging the rank and file to get to know them? This is so ... odd. Um, they work there. He doesn't think the front line staff are aware of the exec staff?
@cellardoor: Some people are clueless. I've been in an elevator with the CEO of a company with 30k employees. An employee in the same elevator said to a co-worker "I do nothing. My job is not busy". Seriously.
@Queen of the Passive Aggressives: Someone at my employer passed our President getting on the elevator, turned to the security guard and asked "Who's the old guy?"
