There was an example of narcissistic New Media Douchebag fuckwittery this week that actually forced me to pause, take a break to record this weeks Angry Mac Bastards podcast, and come back to the festering pit of stupid just so that my blood pressure didn’t spike so high that my eyeballs popped out of their sockets. And what, you might ask, was the dim-witted doltishness that caused such a reaction? Well, ’twas the infuriatingly self-absorbed response by Anil Dash to Malcom Gladwell’s recent article in The New Yorker titled “Small Change: Why the Revolution Will Not Be Tweeted.” Continue reading Revolutions in New Media Douchebaggery

I love Matt Taibbi. Seriously, I would host his man-larvae in my birthing pouch. Vast forests have already been sacrificed to the public debate about the Tea Party: what it is, what it means, where it’s going. But after lengthy study of the phenomenon, I’ve concluded that the whole miserable narrative boils down to one stark fact: They’re full of shit. All of them.

…collectively couldn’t fill a thimble. Witness a recent dose of insipidity from Seth Grodin, who is some sort of marketing guru or some such twaddle. Seth makes the argument that we are currently experiencing two recessions. One, the cyclical economic one that all sane people mean when they say “recession,” and one that is nothing less than the death of the Industrial Era. Continue reading What New Media Douchebags Know About Economics…

Yeah, it’s a Dave Winer festival around here lately. What can I say, the crazy old fucker keeps handing me easy material. Today’s gem is Ol’ Man Winer’s first ever post on net neutrality, coincidentally titled: My first piece on “net neutrality” Continue reading Winer Doesn’t Get It: Net Neutrality Edition

Cross posted from Dave Winer’s Crazy Train. For someone who claims to have invented one of the core messaging protocols of the modern web, Dave sure is consistently horrible at understanding the difference between the network and the messages that travel over the network. Dave seems to think that Twitter is some sort of model of The News Network of the Future! (insert reverb here). I, on the other hand, think that Twitter is the world’s greatest collection of dick jokes, porn-star tweets, and pictures of Adrienne Curry. On the other hand, maybe we’re both wrong and Twitter is just a network that allows people to asynchronously subscribe to other peoples’ streams of 140 character limited content.

If there is one thing that New Media Douchebags love to do more than everything else it’s rebooting shit. Why should government and industry leaders pay attention to actual experts when they have the never ending cesspool of wisdom from the likes of Anil Dash, Robert Scoble and Dave Winer to pull from? And if you’re Dave “get off my lawn, and by lawn I mean RSS” Winer, then you absolutely want to “reboot” RSS. Thus we have a post from last Monday on Scripting News titled How to reboot RSS.
