The Twitterati were stepping to 'em.

Touré's forthcoming listicle "The Five Absolute Best Times to Cheat on Your Wife" will be published in the February 2010 edition of Esquire, along with a companion internet video, "Listen, I Didn't Really Write That, Honey, I Swear, There Must Have Been, Like, a Production Error, Or Something."

After shaming Google's CEO, Twitter's self-appointed mogul bully, Anil Dash, set his sights on IAC's Barry Diller.

You've heard of "'Fuck Me' boots?" Geek TV godess Olivia Munn has, "fuck you, rain, I'm bearing skin" boots.

Between the unwelcome headwinds and frigid homecoming, flitty Silicon Valley flack Brooke Hammerling discovered it's hard being bicoastal.

Milo Yiannopoulos gave newly-reformed teetotaler (and fellow Brit tech writer) Paul Carr some chaos for his birthday. Hopefully not that variety that stains the carpet and passes out on the couch.

<![CDATA[Naked Calendar Nerds Push Limits of Geek Chic]]> If a Googler can pose in Vogue and Glamour, and if Justin Timberlake's playing a Facebook exec, surely London tech geeks can strip off their clothes for a sexy calendar. It'll sell furiously. Or at least, uh, get tweeted furiously.

Milo Yiannopoulos hopes it's the former; the tech writer and Cambridge University student is coordinating the Nude London Tech Calendar 2010 project to raise money for Take Heart India, a charity that raises money to help bring information technology to blind and disabled students. There's been some chatter that the female participants might be undermining their careers, but they are balanced out by plenty of male participants — mostly startup founders, like the women — and follow in the footsteps of other British women who posed naked for leukemia research

Yiannopoulos said the calendar will go on sale in the next day or two, with a launch party slated for Monday. No word yet on the dress code, but you should probably leave your jokes about "USB dongles" and "back-end systems" at home. Or at least keep them in your pocket until after the second drink.

<![CDATA[Twitterati Get Nasty Pictures After Seeking Free Liquor]]> Free booze was sought for Gothamist; freaky flasher pics were sent to Gizmodo; and Busy Philipps' day was ruined. The Twitterati asked for one thing and got something else entirely.

Gothamist's Jake Dobkin apparently thought better of asking liquor companies for free product, as he's deleted the tweet in question. But you still know where to send the bottles, flacks.

Actress Busy Philipps was forced to admit that she does look a bit like Perez Hilton in drag. It was not a happy process.

Try to digitally flash Gizmodo's Rosa Golijan, and she will remember your distinguishing marks.

London-born MIT Technology Review editor Jason Pontin asked Economist veteran Chris Anderson, now of Wired, to agree that Americans generally have terrible design taste. It must be nice to edit for such an undiscerning audience.

Tech writer Milo Yiannopoulos's conversation partner probably didn't see it coming.

<![CDATA['Do You Know Who I Am??' Ask The Twitterati]]> Sarah Lacy was severely inconvenienced by a visa snafu; Mark Glaser was dissed by a conference and a writer danced on Oasis' grave. The Twitterati were feeling huffy.


TechCrunch's Sarah Lacy is having a huge geopolitical passport issue and WTF, NATION OF BRAZIL? YOU MESSED WITH THE SARAHCUDA ONE TOO MANY TIMES and seriously she's been learning Portuguese and you just WAIT until she gets to the swears.


And also? People who run mind-numbing conferences about the future of media and whether newspapers are dying or maybe they're just turning into blogs or maybe we should just let cyborgs write everything? MARK GLASER'S INVITATION GOT LOST IN THE MAIL. AGAIN. He writes for PBS and dies for these endlessly boring things and besides can you really even call it a media conference if he's not there?


John Aboud just pitched a movie, and doesn't even know it. Someone option this thing.


Oh, so here's something positive that came out of the Great Health Care Panic of '09: Otherwise non-foodie conservative pundits like Amanda Carpenter are finally eating non-poisoned vegetables and non-tortured cows! At Whole Foods! Probably because Whole Foods opposes Obama's health care plan! Delicious!


TechCrunch's Milo Yiannopoulos was made sick by the breakup of Oasis. Or at least made plans to be made sick.

<![CDATA[Twittering a Bodily Collapse — and a Rescue]]> A tech marketer saved his nephew; a tech writer was rescued by an ambulance. The Twitterati saw the whole thing.





Tech writer Milo Yiannopoulos tweeted his medical collapse, until the mean old ambulance man insisted he stop. Compassion is truly dead.









Former Tesla exec Darryl Siry waited until after his medical crisis had passed to microblog it.





The Washington Post's Ezra Klein was treated with basic human decency by one of his subjects. Very sneaky, that.





NBC's Dan Abrams, whose new company pays journalists for advice, wants to see our ponies. No. (Not without a consulting fee, at least.)





Jason Pontin of MIT Technology Review couldn't find a press contact at Google. If only the operating system company would develop some sort of effective internet finding-things technology for this kind of problem!
