Mathew's comments: Techmeme and Google Shared Stuff: WTF?

  • Gabe · 2 years ago
    That's Techmeme's mischievous side in action. Recognizing weekends are slow, it synthesized a puzzling headline to confuse and amuse. It's THAT clever.

    Or...maybe Techmeme was fooled into believing that the page was a news article. It's THAT dumb.

    Thanks, Gabe -- as I think someone in Spinal Tap said: "It's a fine line between clever and stupid." :-)

    I hadn't heard about Google Shared Stuff til the other day and when I went there, I saw a link from you and Rubel for some reason. I then added my own page. Not sure about the ukraine thing...

    ... next weekend, if Techmeme gets bored, let's send it outside to cut the lawn.... ;-)

    Techmeme was acquired by GOOG secretly in January. Gabe had to cover his Las Vegas CES "expenses."
