2008-04-01 23:24:00
I wrote about blog commenting today over on Read Write Web, which Mathew Ingram picked up on in this post, "Blog s and the ‘phone-in’ show effect." He also refers to what MG Siegler calls "bitchmemes," which are the "blog fights" that often get exposure on tech blog aggregator, Tech meme.

In January, MG Siegler set up the Elite Tech News Reddit as an experiment with Reddit’s new "Create Your Own Reddit" feature to be sort of an "elite digg" type of site. The experiment paid off, and other bloggers including Steven Hodson, Frederic Lardinois, Louis Gray, Mark ‘Rizzn’ Hopkins, Jason Kaneshiro, and Tony Hung ...SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "A New Tech Podcast You Should Be Downloading", url: "http://www.sarahintampa.com/sarah/2008/0 4/01/a-new-tech-podcast-you-should-be-dow nloading.html" });

Facebook Friends Aren?t Real?
2008-03-29 00:02:00
I just saw this story hit Techmeme: it’s entitled "Facebook Friends Not Real Friends." They’re not? Well, at least not in the UK. Not anymore. Apparently, the story arises from a case where a British judge cleared an ex-boyfriend of a harassment charge after he repeatedly sent his ex a "friend request."
