pita's and userland.. hrmm. Some authority :)

You forgot to say "cool pitas" and "cool userland", ruzz. Bad boy. And since I'm using uncool Movable Type, I think I'll go eat a plate of dirt and see if flowers sprout out of my ears.

If they are pretty take a picture for me ;)

you forgot to mention the exclamation points. we bloggers love those as much as Josh talking about blogs! Don't ask a woman blogger though. NOOOO way. ah shit. I was hoping it would stay our little secret anyhow.

*What* a completely and utterly useless article that is...do you think that they actually paid him for it?

*shakes head*

I think I might eat a plate of flowers, in hope that I might then be able to shoot bees out of my mouth.

Which isn't germane, perhaps. I'm still gonna, though.

hands down the worst 'mainstream' piece about weblogs to date. what's this new site called Slash.com Mr. Quittner seems so enamored of? Ahh, dot-com, dot-org, whatever...it's all cool. and, if i may quote, "totally democratic." totally, dude.

one day i hope to be cool, too.

I think someone should email him and tell him to come here and explain himself - and then we can all laugh as he grovels and aquirms his way out of here. :-)

Pitas? What? Hehehe...

Heh! I just re-read the 'Slash' comments thing. *How* Clueless can somebody possibly be?

Jeez. *snigger*

Don't you just love content-free writing?

From the article:

"people can have at the story, and almost debug it... What this does is takes information and it puts it out before a community of users who will, in effect, crash test it. Hold every single fact up to the light and make sure that it all works."

Poor Josh now gets to experience the "debugging" of his interview. The magic of it all.

BTW, Shelley, does the new O'Reilly weblogging book cover tools other than MT and Blogger? What does this imply about O'Reilly's view of the blogging tool market?

Golly, that article was making me feel, like, totally affirmed and cool, and now you're making fun of him. *sniffle*. How can I have any self-respect if I don't have permission from CNN?

On a more serious note, I know from experience that interview reports can make one sound a whole lot more stupid than one's own words--by which I don't mean to imply that my own words set too high a bar, but that interviewers consistently ooze under whatever low standard my own responses set.
