why your social media guru is an asshole & a liar OR how to succeed (or not) with your internet presence

By Giania • Jun 30th, 2009 • Category: Internet Tools

Hot:

Author’s Note: Some editing may apply to the article below. This article was originally 2 hours worth of unedited vitriol, inspired by the inordinate amount of time it takes me to remove spammers from my follower list on Twitter. (I block because I care about the health of the network.) I would like to state [...]



Firefox Pimps for the Everyman (like me!)

By AmHm • Sep 17th, 2008 • Category: Browsers

Hot:

Admittedly, I’m an Internet n00b (does anyone even say that anymore?) Sure, I was chatting away with the best of ‘em on AOL in 1995, but it’s only within the last year (since I began work at an internet marketing company) that I’ve thought to embrace any browser other than Internet Explorer, any email client [...]



URLtea Bites It Again

By Giania • Jun 9th, 2008 • Category: Internet Toys

Hot:

Looks like I had spoken too soon about URLtea being back in it to win it.
An astute commenter on my previous “URLTea Dead” post just tipped me off to the site being dead, again.
Below is the text I got when visting the main site.
Site Temporarily Unavailable
We apologize for the inconvenience. Please contact the webmaster/ tech [...]



NH Media Makers Follow-up: Awesome!

By Giania • May 11th, 2008 • Category: Fnord

Hot:

Well, I’m just back from the first ever NH Media Makers get together. What a terrific idea, and what a great turn out. I honestly didn’t know what to expect, both in people or content, despite the post at the actual NH Media Makers site detailing who would be there and what to expect!
We had [...]



Listen to Good Hip-Hop: The Poetic Prophet

By Giania • Apr 20th, 2008 • Category: Audio

Hot:

This guy is AWESOME! Amy might not agree (and my apologies for ganking your series title for this) but I have to say that this is some of the most amusing and amazing nerd rap I’ve heard in a while. Why is it nerd rap? Well, watch for yourself.

Ignoring his awkward posing, this is by [...]



Sometimes, Your Being Offended Offends Me 1

By Giania • Apr 11th, 2008 • Category: Articles of Interest

Hot:

Case in point: People getting all up in arms about an Absolut print ad campaign depicting a large chunk of the southwest United States as being part of Mexico “In an Absolut World”.
Give me a break, people. What are you offended by, exactly? History? The fact of the matter is, the land depicted in the [...]



I love comments, I hate spam

By Giania • Mar 25th, 2008 • Category: Recursion

Hot:

Ordinarily, I get really excited when there’s mail sitting in my inbox saying that I’ve gotten a comment! While a lot of times it’s just an approval request for some spammer than actually bypassed Akismet, there are the periodic genuine comments which are always a joy. (And I thank you, commenters, for taking the time [...]



Tay Zonday: Dollar Dollar Bills, Y’all

By Giania • Nov 29th, 2007 • Category: Memes

Hot:

Tay Zonday’s managed to snag an endorsement deal. I’m sure you’ve all heard about it already. From the heartlands of Ectomo to Wired’s hipster hovel blog The Underwire and beyond, it’s being talked about non-stop.
Chocolate Rain, that agitatingly infectious little ditty from a little while back, caught the attention of the Dr. Pepper marketing [...]



Forbes.com can kiss my butt

By Giania • Nov 21st, 2006 • Category: Fnord

Hot:

I was poking around in my google mail, when the news crawl, ticker, whatever you want to call it, came across with the blurb mentioned here. It sounded relatively interesting, so I clicked. Go ahead, check it out. I’ll wait.

As those of you who followed that link can see, I sat through no less than [...]



Words to Know Vol 3

By Giania • Oct 7th, 2006 • Category: Fnord

Hot:

We had “greek day” here at the office. Several people brought in greek dishes. DEEEEEE-lish. Ian makes fan-freaking-tastic moussaka.
So I read this article here: http://www.seobythesea.com/?p=324
And I was inspired to read up on the “Lonelygirl15″ phenomena. I’d heard of it, but figured it was just some marketing tripe and ignored it.

They reference the Temple of Hathor [...]
