Quickies: Hurricane not Jason

WSJ covers Aaron Wall, whom Traffic-Power.com sued for comments on Wall’s SEO blog.

StartSeeingThings.org bewilders Malatron. He cries fake. Is he right? The site looks too well done, too coherent, for its conspiracy-theory theme. The whois anonymization is sketchy too.

Lately, Blogcruiser’s all about Hurricane Katrina. BoingBoing has a massively updated post for hurricane relief, and a first-hand account. Matt Haughey’s donation post asks no questions. Jeff Jarvis does. Gawker even makes the requisite gay joke. Every blogebrity you and I read has a donation page up. Maybe that’s a hint. But don’t get scammed.

Unlikely future blogebrities: Westchester personal bloggers.

Data Mining finds the blog search engine du jour. More analysis when Yodelsearch.com has more than a “coming soon”.

The Onion was down earlier, just a blip before a redesign noted by Fimoculous. Looks more…texty. And more updat…ed…y. And Googly. Must have bought some jokes from their blogging softball opponents.

Incidentally, Gawker played softball with the New Yorker. Photos confirm that Jesse Oxfeld is hawt, no matter what Radar’s PR man says.

A writing class at Texas Christian University discovers blogging in their collaborative Frog Blog. Turns out all our stupid lists are pointing them to good stuff. Kinda cute to watch.

When celeb weeklies cover publicists, Blogebrity will nearly feel legitimate. But we will not blog for hope, because we’re hopeless cynical bastards.

Oh snap, Gizmodo. If ReadyMade didn’t seem like Make warmed over, I’d feel pity.
