Actually, the creator added Metafilter after he saw all the traffic it was bringing in. :) He's adding more sites and businesses all the time... in fact, now, after a few rounds, the message "Want more than blues?" shows up at the bottom and if you click on it, you get to guess between reds, greens, oranges or purples (it's true, Yahoo isn't the only one) between the blues...
I tend to take New York Times Style Section article about ANYTHING online with a grain of salt... no, with a teaspoon of salt... no, with enough salt to raise my blood pressure so I usually don't take them at all...
That said, on my current Twitter account @someothercraig (which I have not updated since the "ask Berkeley Breathed" Twitter event), my bio says "a non-prophet fun-raiser and I-think icon, alleged in his spare time", which was something I put on a joke business card in the 1980s. Twitter Bio Lines ARE the Joke Business Cards of the 21st Century.
I'm disappointed that California belongs to TechCrunch; considering moving to Oregon where they love The Onion. Now THAT's news. Still, one "media property" oddly excluded (and it IS a media property, owned by Conde Nast for 5 years) is Reddit.
Of course, we all wish we could see Neatorama (or MetaFilter or BoingBoing) grabbing at least one state somewhere... maybe if you started focusing on Rhode Island local news...
And one other oddity: TMZ, which is so Hollywood its name is an acronym for "Thirty-Mile Zone", the area in LA where all the studios are, is tops in TEXAS, ARIZONA, GEORGIA and NEW JERSEY? Serious Hollywood Envy, dudes.
I'm very lyrics-oriented and had less trouble with the 'lyric banality', which did well fit in with a long, uneventful-but-pleasant journey, than the two-note repetitive pattern of the main verse... da DA DA da DA DA da DA DA da DA... a little TOO dry, considering they are pointing out the "plants and birds and rocks and things"
aaaannnnd... "Coolness Graphed", one of the better 'graph/chart style' webcomics has chimed in with ratings of possible endings... http://coolnessgraphed.com/post/62645878300
one more off-the-wall prediction: if the final episode includes a raid by the Feds, I would hope two of them are cameo appearances by David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson, because Vince Gilligan should give some props to the show that gave him his first big break...
I commented there with some predictions of my own that are, well, based on precedent... Walter White catches up to a one-armed man who clears him of all charges. Walter White suddenly awakens next to Suzanne Pleshette. It’s discovered the whole thing happened in a snow globe held by Walter Jr. Jesse wins a car on The Price Is Right. The entire cast is reunited in the Afterlife, and Hurley and Linus come to open a resort at To’hajiilee. (They already have a chain that include Lost Island, Gilligan’s Island, Dillon, Texas and Cicely, Alaska) Walter finishes Tony’s order of onion rings. The ghost of Oliver Hardy appears to simply say ‘That’s another fine meth you got us into’.
