Make magazine's Mark Frauenfelder didn't appreciate Eater founder Ben Leventhal's advice on how to ingratiate yourself to a restaurant.



Alex Balk didn't appreciate being the forgotten co-founder, except insofar as it allowed him to taunt Kurt Andersen.



Cablevision, the company, trolled Jeff Jarvis, the internet pundit. Successfully.



Time magazine's Karen Tumulty was in the White House, as an actual reporter, and immediately launched an investigation into the plants at the press conference. When Time Inc CEO Ann Moore said "trustworthy.... fact-based reporting" would save her company, this must have been what she was talking about.



Air America's Ana Marie Cox, meanwhile, spent her White House time responsibly looking for guy she makes great fun of every week.

<![CDATA[Of Mogul Hookups and Yoga Farts]]> Two executives enjoyed an intimate moment by the pond at Sun Valley; Scott Rosenberg made peace with Mediaite's Power Grid and Courtney Reimer wished she could relax slightly less in yoga. The Twitterati remained calm.





Writer Courtney Reimer's overshare left us highly uncentered.





Scott Rosenberg, formerly of Salon, called Mediaite's Power Grid "idiocy," but took three tweets to do it. So if he's right, he lost to the troll. HAND?





Twitter did not allow the Wall Street Journal's Julia Angwin the space to define what she meant by "hookup" in this context.





Time's Karen Tumulty found she was denied even her maternal martyrdom.





Vlogger Veronica Belmont got a fond reminder of the days before she ever learned who "Jason Calacanis" was.
