The Web at 20: Not Quite Old Enough to Drink, Yet Drives Us to It
Dear important scientist Tim Berners-Lee: Thank you for inventing the World Wide Web 20 years ago. It's really great and stuff! But were you aware of the crimes committed in your name? More »

Let's Go Over the Rules of Internet Microfeuds Again
Dr. Doom—the economist and playboy NYU professor Nouriel Roubini—called our publisher an "anti-Semite with a Nazi mind" via a series of insane Facebook messages early this morning. That's fine. But we thought it might be a good time to recap some of the rules of Internet arguing, yeah? After all, this type of behavior is quite beneath a college professor, particularly one who is interviewed by Barron's, profiled in the New York Times Magazine, and predicting financial doom on Charlie Rose. Roubini, here's how to win an argument on the Internet—or at least not look like a total fool! More »

Keith Gessen Did Everything Wrong on the Internet, Someone Besides Us Concludes
The spectacle of a slighted novelist going on a gossip blog and defending themselves in the comments—then starting a nutty Tumblr and throwing a "Take Back the Internet" party—is now referred to as the "Gessen Method" by a Texas publication. They're referring to n+1 editor and first-time novelist Keith Gessen. He has now been branded—much to his chagrin, we're sure—not as the next young literary man but "is an icon—a symbol—a cautionary tale about Internet conflict and the way we deal with it." More »

Google Will Curb Your Drunk E-Mails
"Stop sending e-mail you later regret," the Official Gmail Blog intones ominously. The new Mail Goggles has been compared to a Breathalyzer: "When you enable... it will check that you're really sure you want to send that late-night Friday email. And what better way to check than by making you solve a few simple math problems after you click send to verify you're in the right state of mind?" But how would people know how you feel if you didn't accidentally tell them? (If you're a daytime drinker, you might want to adjust the settings.) Having a digital babysitter sounds soothing, though. Sometimes, we just want to be told what to do. [Wired]

How to Date a Web Celebrity
When your quotidian indiscretions can be photographed, Twittered, and uploaded before you've stumbled out of a cab and up the steps at the end of the night, extra precautions must be taken. Especially you're dating extreme lifestreaming oversharer Julia Allison. Yes, one brave gent has stepped up to the plate. Crazy we didn't hear about it sooner, because she usually shares all her important life decisions with us via her blog—and most men are therefore afraid to date her. "She realized this recently after three promising first dates abruptly called it quits," as her recent NYT profile put it. "In an e-mail message, Ms. Allison acknowledged that her chosen profession may have permanently ruined her social life." But not entirely. Eater's darkly handsome blogger-about-town Ben Leventhal has taken her on. More »

Fake Prince William's Facebook Fools A-List "Friends"
Someone has created a very well-executed Facebook page for Prince William, a.k.a. William Arthur Philip Louis.

That Lion YouTube Hit to Become Movie
Asking if you've seen the "Christian the Lion" YouTube hit is like asking if you've ever been to the Internet. By now, everyone has seen the story of a lion, purchased in a London department store and raised by humans, who greets them after a year in the wild by jumping on them with enthusiastic hugs. Just like he's a person! (8 million views.) Now negotiations for it to be turned into a movie are underway, says Reuters.

"Baghdad Diarist" Agrees: Internet War As Dehumanizing As Real War!
Remember Scott Thomas Beauchamp, that soldier who wrote candidly about the dehumanizing effects of the war for The New Republic while pursuing a passionate affair with the TNR intern fact-checking his pieces until the conservablogosphere began campaigning to get him shitcanned? Former TNR staffer Spencer "Attackerman" Ackerman tracked him down in Germany for a fascinating profile in next month's Radar. The story contains a lot of chilling details about Beauchamp's experiences at war, like mass graves and running over dogs in Bradley Fighting Vehicles and how a mob of soldiers in a mess hall mock a woman whose face has been gruesomely disfigured by an improvised explosive device, but probably the most nauseating passage describes what it was like for the 24-year-old Army private to be the target of evildoers and insurgents and such while simultaneously being the target of an internet struggle session: "I began to make mistakes. Once I nearly forgot my eye protection before a mission. I was thinking about bloggers as much as I was thinking about my buddies," he tells the magazine. "That scared me." Tell us about it.

"What If Nothing Was Ever Lost?"
Remember that chill-inducing E-bay commercial from a couple years back? A boy loses his toy boat while playing seaside; it turns up in a fisherman's net, and years later the grown man finds it on the online auction house. "What if nothing was ever lost?" asks the voiceover, expertly tugging at our heartstrings. "What if nothing was ever forgotten?" The vignette has come to life: a British man has been reunited with a message in a bottle he threw into the sea when he was 11 years old. More »

FBI to Internet: "Hey, Do Any of These Priceless Stolen Paintings Look Familiar To You Guys?"

Tragic Disaster, or Chance for Youtube Fame?
When a giant fireball from a propane explosion lit up Toronto last week, killing two, a couple hundred gawkers dutifully recorded the disaster and uploaded it to YouTube. The impulse is sort of a weird one—the apocalypse will be liveblogged!—but whatever. As Alley Insider reports, two Youtube partners made Cloverfield-type scenes from the explosion—using footage of the actual blast shot by others, they didn't actually witness it. They probably didn't mean to trick anyone, but it created a skewed version of reality that was watched hundreds of thousands of times. (They're YouTube partners and stand to profit off their creations.) What can you do, though—the Internet is just a giant game of telephone. The revolution will be crowdsourced.

We Have Seen the Future of Internet Microfame, and It Looks Anonymous
Microcelebrity: how long does it last? Will there be a retrospective blog roundup in early 2009 called "2008's Fameballs: Where are they now?" We suspect that the half-life of Internet fame is even shorter than that of regular fame. Continuing today's Warholian fifteen-minutes-fame theme—hey, we exist just to accelerate the man's predictions—Young Manhattanite writes that "the Gawker orbit in 2003-04 was a weird one, full of sparkling transient miscreants who you befriended, respected and were disgusted by all at the same time... [Matt Harvey] was a fixture, as much as one could be in Denton’s then sparsely furnished loft, on the scene and got his share of linkage." Wait, who? The only photo they were able to dig up of the supertan former Anonymous Outsider blogger in the wild is this one, taken years ago in said loft. Maybe he got eaten by the Internet! No, actually—as an article by Harvey himself explains in the New York Press's sex column this week, what he's been up to is kicking heroin: More » -

Oh, Rexie! The Internet micro-fame expert and boyfriend of the Huffpo's Rachel Sklar seems a bit shook up by our post about him yesterday—which honestly, by our standards, was fairly mild. "I wish I could remember my internet safe word," he Twittered. We'll congratulate him on the S&M reference, but Internet "friends" are irresponsible playmates that don't always stop when you're writhing on the floor, simultaneously begging for more and crying, "Red!"

Blog War in Georgia, or Commenter Trend Piece Again?

Don't get so excited, guys; nothing new here. Old-timey journalists talked in-person to actual people fleeing wars at train stations and the like, instead of trolling websites for the ramblings of people who, for all we know, are the digital equivalent of the wackjob coots who write polemical letters to the local paper.

"You Will": Workers Wary About Working from Home
Remember those "You Will" commercials when a narrator said that one day we'd all be able to check our laptops on the beach or whatever? (A friend of mine would always intone this whenever I took out my cellphone.) Now, we will and we do. However, a new study says that most workers don't choose to telecommute, worrying the lack of face time in the office will hurt their career and not get them noticed by the boss. (They may be right—unless they're bloggers measured by pageviews!) "Nearly half of office workers are able to telecommute, but less than a third actually do," says U.S. News. Seriously, though, I've never stopped laughing about those 1993 AT&T ads: More »

Wall Street Jerkblogger Fired for His Jerky Blog
The jerkblogger behind the festival of misogyny and general frattishness that is Take a Report was found out by his employer, Citigroup, where he was a vice president. Due to its misogynist and generally idiotic overtones, "Large," a.k.a. Michael J. McCarthy, was fired for his blog's violation of code-of-conduct policies. Perhaps they objected to posts such as, "Although I’m pretty sure you don’t condone the drugging and subsequent raping of female bar inhabitants, haven’t you at one time or another considered what would happen with the right girl and the right mix of vodka and chloroform?" But for every job lost, a doucheblogger gets his wings: "I have been asked to be the keynote speaker at the Saturday Banquet of this year’s Dallas Trading Convention... it’s BY FAR the best of all the trading conventions." Woo! Some excerpts from Large's musings after the jump: how he once managed to get thrown out of an Eric Clapton concert by screaming insults about Clapton's dead son.

I Finally Figured Nonsociety Out
Well, we had a staff drinks party on Friday night and more than a few of us, who cover dating columnist Julia Allison for no small part of our living—she's become to bloggers what Britney Spears was to the Los Angeles paparazzi, twenty percent of their business—found it difficult to tear ourselves away from the topic of the baffling new website Allison has started with her two friends, Nonsociety. "What is the product?" I asked. Obviously reality TV and the Internet have conflated to make fame completely post-product, no singing or dancing required. I don't even know why I spend time thinking about this—it's like a disease. And I think I figured it out. More »

A Troll Responds To The Times Magazine
"The more I study mathematics, physics, history and the natural world, the more I know that this reality is a construct created to test us." So you'll find in the LiveJournal lament of "weev," one of the top trolls Mattathias Schwartz investigated in this Sunday's NYTM (see previous post). Weev says his quotes on "philosophy" were taken out of context in the piece and that he only agreed to be interviewed to discuss his deep thoughts on chivvying people on the Internet; his personal life was out of bounds. Sigh. Even the trolls can't trust journalists any more. Something about the Seven Ages of Man, the mass murder of Egyptians and fishing nets follows.

Beware The Cyber Trolls
Now here's an instructive feature in the New York Times Magazine about the cultural and mass psychological ruin being wrought by the Internet. Mattathias Schwartz becomes a Jane Goodall among the "trolls," those anarchic misfits of the binary world who live to toy with other people's emotions (sorry, they elicit "lulz") by making bedlam of comment threads, and tossing up fake MySpace pages of their enemies. The more pretentious fancy themselves philosopher-revolutionaries; they believe they're actually improving society by committing identity fraud and issuing violent threats because these and other mean acts force the easily duped to wise up. Posting animated color fields designed to cause seizures in an epilepsy forum? “Demonstrating these kinds of exploits is usually the only way to get them fixed,” says "Fortuny." More »

Letter from an AOL Blogger on Writing for Free
"I read your post on how some of the AOL/Weblogs bloggers are blogging for free. I don't know who the bloggers are or which blogs within the portfolio this applies to either. I was recently hired (signed a contract) to write for one of the blogs. Last week, the blog I'm with sent out a note to all the members of the team that everyone except for lead bloggers and paid staff should refrain from posting until August because of a budget shortfall. On the blog I was hired to write for, we receive just $X [redacted] per post, features (slideshows and such) are paid at a higher rate. I think some bloggers continue because they feel a sense of mission and duty and are really into it. [Emphasis added] I will not write for free." More » -

Volunteer Bloggers: Stop Subsidizing the Entire Internet
This is getting ridiculous. Today, Alley Insider reported that some bloggers at AOL have chosen to keep posting for free after cutbacks that would only pay them for five posts per day.

And don't even get me started on the Huffington Post, that repository of crackpot rants built by an army of many free-bloggers writing in the name of "exposure." (CEO Betsey Morgan said in a recent interview that paying the HuffPo's bloggers might possibly be part of the picture someday; in the meantime, "It feels very 1993 to say, ‘Hey, it’s all about the check that I get at the end of the month.’") After the jump: Econ 2.0, or why bloggers should stop writing for free.

Move To The U.K. And Sue The Internet
For the wealthy and famous, suing people on the Internet is like the new Kabbalah, not just in terms of trendiness but also geographical focus. Britain is the hot destination if you want to take a blogger's house away because our cousins across the way have got the same draconian libel laws that did in Oscar Wilde. People don't like to read unpleasant things about themselves on the Internet (and where would the NYT Magazine be if they did?). But even where the targets of bloggy exposure or lampoon do have a legitimate grievance, must they head straight to the courts to settle it? Below, two recent libel cases involving the Internet, and one bonus intellectual property dispute involving a moppet and a Christian fantasist.
