    @sarrible: Have you watched the show based on that site? It's a hair-gelled Harvey Levin Fellatio Festival for the Hollywood parasites who work in that office. Makes shows like Inside Edition look classy.

    A move to display ads signals that they have no idea how to make money and that this ship is sinking fast. In fact, only a couple of months ago they denounced display ads. These guys are desperate. I will be so pissed when they flip this thing, because it is worth negative dollars.

    At first glance I thought the headline said "taskmasters" and thus thought it would a more interesting story. Oh well.

    @FaceMelter: It's kind of sad how what was once was part of my required reading is now a shadow of itself. But I still get a kick out of how VW datelines read "San Francisco," but with Eastern time, so it's not all bad.

    Was the broken "less/fewer" grammar a clever concession toward reducing the obviously countable characters?

    Oh God, that is the worst cover ever.
    It looks like a college guide or SAT prep book.

    I was afraid when I saw this that it would be either overly-fawning or overly-damning as the author is ex-Gawker, but I think this review seems to be really balanced.
    As a person that would never ever allow himself to be confined to only 140 characters, I don't tweet, but as a person that recognizes that I need to get my name out there (for god knows why) I keep a Twitter (and a Tumblr) that just posts my blog stream. And for some reason, people follow this rehashing Twitter.
    I look forward to seeing this book filed with all of the books on MySpace. And Friendster. And AOL.

    @Alaska Miller: I won't! TIWYF isn't new or groundbreaking in its curated-from-Tumblr process (like Postcards From Yo Momma, LATFHipster, Boner Party - does Boner Party have a book deal, yet? - and whatever else is out there/going to be out there). If they want a Weekend Plug, they're gonna have to make and consequently eat a bunch of the book's featured dishes on a live streaming camera, and at the end of my shift, I get to resuscitate one of them from Cardiac Arrest with crash cart paddles. Don't worry, I've already thought about this.

    Since you've got the galley and all, you think we could see an actual excerpt, and *then* talk a bunch of shit about it?

    David Pouge? Does that rhyme with "rouge" or is it the American pronunciation, "Poog" (like "Noter Dame"?)

    Call me when the Books On Tape version comes out.
    I know you're reading this Nick, and if it's not 'fleshed-out' by Ed Asner and Bernadette Peters I'm not buying it.

    A few years back, my dad and I were driving in the car when "Toxic" by Britney Spears came on. The song had just come out and had proven to be a big hit, reaffirming Britney's status as a definite pop celebrity of my generation.
    I asked my dad what he thought of Britney; he gave it a few minutes' thought, and then predicted that she'd be a Trivial Pursuit answer within a couple years. I laughed off his claim at the time, but then, ya know, a couple years later she went umbrella-wielding nutso on us, and it looked like Dad was right.
    The feeling my Dad got about Britney in the car that night is the feeling I get whenever Twitter becomes profiled as a Thing Of Our Generation. I mean, it is, but ya know, so was Myspace.
