Liners: The important thing is that King Kong rocks

Gothamist interviews Ron Hogan, author and Galleycat co-editor. Hogan says he got the Galleycat gig when Elizabeth Spiers noticed him bitching in someone’s blog comments. We hope this is not the start of a very painful trend.

Blog-hobo Christopher Coulter, previously BE’d for his semi-anonymous parodies, is fighting off a comment troll, Justin, who thinks he’s doing Scoble a favor. Word on the street (Ha! Ha! Bloggers do not go onto the street!) is that someone’s suing someone for libel. We’ve been asked to delete some comments, which doesn’t seem fair to all you folks digging in our dirt. But let this be a reminder: opinions posted on Blogebrity, in entries and in comments, are those of their respective authors and no one else.

For instance, this opinion: King Kong rocks. Well, that’s Ryan Stewart’s opinion too, and my sources at the Ontology Institute say it’s a fact approaching “axiomatic principle” status.

I’m clicking around on WOW Insider and I hit a pop-up ad from Tribalfusion. It even got past Firefox’s blocks. AOL must be giving WIN the clever marketing strategies that made it such a boon for Time Warner.

  1. Note: We don’t do popups… never have, never will.

    It was probably an error on TF’s side, or a bad advertising tag on our side. Sometime they let advertisements slip in that do bad things and we have to let them know, etc.

    Also, I think AOL has a no-popup rule too, but I’m not sure on this. If AOL doesn’t I’ll certainly start one when I become CEO.

  2. My bad. Must be an evil advertiser. I’d blame it on spyware, but my machine’s running clean.

    When you become CEO, eh? Is that before or after AOL’s biggest asset is WIN?

Have your say
