Finally made ValleyWag
I feel honored to have finally been soiled by the rantings of the latest cynical blog around.
Indeed I felt obligated to liven up Steve Gillmor’s presentation - as I think what he’s talking about is important. He just leaves a LOT open for imagination and I wanted to make sure folks understood him.
I didn’t fly into NYC for Steve’s panel, rather I was there to make sure the StructuredBlogging panel - rocked - which it did. AOL and Yahoo both spoke of their efforts in the area - and sure ‘nuf some nerd starts going off on Microformats and bringing the conversation down into the geeky last .0001% format wars - again.
So I had to shout him down and make sure everyone in the room understood that we’re not stooping to those lows, we’re transcending the petty techie battles and we’re getting on with focusing on end-user benefits of structured content. Period.
Meanwhile re-posting this photo of me from Les Blogs is coolio, as I refused to let the petty panderings of folks trying to goad me with a shot of a sleeping Marc get in the way of the message I was trying to convey - after schleping all the way there and dealing with jet lag.
Finally I just wanna say that its not that I want to make everyone my Friendster - as I would NEVER help propagate that horrible brand and anything to do with Jonathan Abrams or Kleiner, Perkins - but I would be PROUD to help facilitate the inter-connection of entire social networks together.
By empowering end-users to establish relationships, send messages, create or join groups or post content - BETWEEN social networks and to IMPORT/EXPORT between social networks - well that’s what the PeopleAggreagtor is all about.
5 weeks to go.
Did I tell yah we’re shipping at Gnomedex?
And as far as being included in a mighty trio of Uncles - with BigDave Winer and Steve - I’m honored to be associated with those dudes and Mr. Valley Wag and whole bunch of others just WISH they had the brains, balls and compunction to be the kind of leaders - as we have in Dave and Steve.
A couple of things about the Valleywag guy. His name is Nick Denton, founder of Moreover, former American reporter for Reuters or BBC, some place like that.
He’s following the standard model for a gossip publication.
His stories are totally lame. At least he could make up some stuff about aliens abducting babies. Where are the horrorscopes?
The people he’s trying to trash are more interesting than he’s figuring out.
The other thing that might be different is that these days many of the people he writes about have weblogs, so they might be able to fight back. Let’s hope old Nick doesn’t have any skeletons in his closet he doesn’t want revealed.
The advantage that the assholes used to have, that they buy ink by the barrell, may not be there anymore.

Marc: For the record, you are awesome. Valleywag does snark. That’s its job.
Pinky: Awesome run-down! Now I’m gonna check with the courts, ’cause I could have sworn my last name was Douglas!
Also: I got kicked out of the National Honor Society at 18 for making out with a girl who was 14, then lying about it! I also have several ex-girlfriends frustrated with my desire of sex without commitment! And I’ve partaken of several illegal substances — but Marc can back me up in saying that illegal substances are FUN.
