    If they want to churn the Suggested Users List, which they should, they should just automatically include everyone the elite who are already on the list recommend on #FollowFriday. #twitter

    The sequence of events behind the Twitter-Bing deal isn't working in an expected order. Twitter users are already (re)tweeting news about Twitter signing a deal with Bing. Of course, they are in a panic. "I don't want my tweets appearing in search results!"

    The internet: making things fun to watch! #twitter

    I know I am a FAIL because I don't get how blogs make money. Ad networks and Google AdSense? I don't even know what that means.

    @BxgrlJeri: I assume that it adheres to the South Park method of money-making:
    Step 1: Pictures of cute animals
    Step 2: AdSense
    Step 3: ???????
    Step 4: Profits!

    Facebook employees are not satisfied that their site wastes millions of man-hours a year on nonsense. So they are now proactively and surreptitiously wasting people's time with nonsense. Good going, guys!

    I'm thinking somewhere in NY, in a "teeny tiny," yet intricately designed apartment, a "gay" "rapper" who is a "beauty product ho" and just a bit "prom and book club obsessed"found the next phase of his "happiness project."

    Essentially, they want to build a blog and mimic sites like The Frisky, but they have no skills in management, publishing, or technology, and their vision is muddled. Sorry girls, it's not going to happen.

    Also, they need to stop confusing "lifecasting" with "blogging". The term "lifecasting" was well defined before they started misappropriating it, and their continual misuse, especially within the context of some mysterious "platform" involving "innovative information architecture" and "inventive discovery models", is not only absolutely ridiculous, but makes them look clueless and desperate.

    Also, did they really define "art" in that post? Really? This shit is the lolz.
