Plaxo Bogarts the Twitter Fail Whale

I just discovered two things about Plaxo: 1) Plaxo is down or broken quite a lot these days 2) Plaxo has stolen the Twitter Fail Whale from Twitter in a lame attempt to be even remotely as cool as Twitter — a long line of lame attempts at making Plaxo cool, including the irrelevant Plaxo […]

Do Social Media Solutions Stagnate After Acquisition?

While very many media outlets support del.icio.us in their bookmarking and social media strategies, there has been very little innovation in the del.icio.us social bookmarking platform — this has been a major problem with properties that have been acquired by big firms such as AOL, Google, and Yahoo!, in the case of del.icio.us.

People as a Whole are Indeed Stupid

I try to follow Anthony Citrano’s blog, Cosmic Tap, but had fallen behind. I have to reblog his article, Reminder: People Are Stupid.

I am still trying to sort out my thoughts on this — please excuse the disjointed […]

I Hope a Whale Beaches Itself On You

My friend Momotaro, the fellow who created the banner for Memes.org, was so amused by the first comment that someone posted onto my blog post, Don’t Save the Whales and Don’t Save the Rainforest Either, that he created the following anthology of really intelligent put-downs, I Hope a Whale Beaches Itself On You — it […]

Cook the Whale Eat the Whale

Well, I give up. So many people think I am an evil whale-killer that I will stop fighting. What do you think I am after you read Don’t Save the Whales? Should I be “harpooned and flayed alive?” Well, for those of you who think I kill whales, here are my favorite […]

Whale-Qaeda

I wrote an article called Don’t Save the Whales and the results have been unanimously negative, hostile — even murderous. I call these 14-year-olds who consider me worthy of being harpooned, flayed, and killed, the Whale-Qaeda! Don’t you love that?

Save Yourself then Save the Whales

There is no cause so noble that you should sacrifice your children to its altar. Shame on you.
