My HuffPo column on the month’s most viral Webstuffs.

“Why talk about wine when you can talk about talking about wine? New media “culture” is bullshit, ALT TECH BROS. Just because you ride your Vespa around in your lofftice and show up to work in day-glo shirts at 11 doesn’t mean you’re progressive. It means you’re a jackass. Shut the fuck up and actually monetize, cockwaffles. Your life-changing product helping people procrastinate and identify their “personal brand” is gonna suck eventually, no matter what you do.”

“Mainstream outlets who gag social media efforts are unilaterally disarming in the ongoing war for reader attention. Reporters and editors would all like to mouth off at will and transgress as we wish, but our online identities are inexorably wrapped up with our professional ones. Every time a reporter hits send, he or she might do the following exercise: How would I feel if my mother and/or my boss read this? Because they well might, along with the legions of folks who sit, like crows on a wire, looking for any wiggle or wobble from media outlets they regard with suspicion in the first place. There will be stumbles and missteps on the way to a hybrid future, but if you can’t trust the women and men who put out your newspaper to use their keyboards wisely regardless of platform, what are they doing working for you?”

Couldn't AOL steal Twitter's lunch if it wanted to?
Maybe I am overestimating the number of people who use AOL Instant Messenger but I feel like it has been underutilized as a device to do more than just send instant messages.
I’ve likely used it more than any other application since 1997.
It seems like a no brainer for it to be a hybrid instant messenger / microblogging app, not unlike tweetdeck.
I wonder why they haven’t done this already.
They’re doing this now.
Yes, this has been in the works for a while….

YESSSS. Two tix for Pavement Night 2, order complete.
Oh yeah, we got a book deal.
For Villard Trade Paperbacks, Jill Schwartzman has acquired OLD JEWS TELLING JOKES by Sam Hoffman with Eric Spiegelman, based on the very popular online video series and website of the same name (created by Sam Hoffman and produced by Jetpack Media, Tim Williams and Eric Spiegelman). The book will feature hilarious, irreverent, and sometimes bawdy jokes told by “old Jews” (both men and women, all over 60, including Ed Koch, Daniel Okrent, and Harry Macklowe), and the fascinating stories behind both the jokes and the tellers. A DVD of their first season was released 9/15 by First Run Features. The North American Rights book deal was negotiated by Kate Lee at ICM.
Congrats Eric! :)
