I’m Cancelling My Subscription to Wired Pronto
By Beth in Smut Advertising, Tech, relationships, pop culture, Web 2.0, Wired, Julia Allison, Chris Anderson on July 23 2008First, the rag that doubled as every pseudo geek’s wet dream, whored itself out this month to the highest bidder for the mere promise of tail by shamelessly promoting the tech world’s very own Paris Hilton. The only takeaway from Wired’s cover feature being if you’re greedy enough and cocktease make eyes at the right people, there are places you can go online and offline, btw.
Next, MediaBistro jumped aboard the Anderson lovebug by giving us a cheap imitation (you have to pay $15 to preview the whole clip of Chris) of a marketing man’s bible to Web 2.0 social communities in the form of a video clip.
While most of the content on the video is pretty vague marko-babbly, (we are talking about the guy that launched the long tail phenomenon) Anderson is a source for all things innovative by sheer virtue that he works for “the most tolerant site out there.” If only he had been groomed in an elitist French boarding school that taught him proper elocution maybe I could stand to hear about his or anyone else’s “raison d’etre.”
