No Cursing At Yahoo Corporate, Except For Carol Bartz

By Ryan Tate on May 30, 2009 at 10:35 AM

The Twitterati went on vacation: Kevin Rose visited his exclusive happy place; Xeni Jardin was in Gautemala; and an AFP reporter set off for Paris.

Digg founder Kevin Rose is sorry he forgot you don’t have a magical VIP Web browser like he does.

Chris O’Brien of the San Jose Mercury News noticed a Yahoo profanity policy was kind of fucking hypocritical!

Oliver Knox’s vacation to Paris began with some quality American customer service. Being an AFP man, he reported it.

Boing Boing’s Xeni Jardin found the Ugly American, in Guatemala.

Writer Tricia Romano quietly cursed the blogger who revealed her happy secret.

    @katekate is squared: Twitter is the new Julia Allison.

    @El Matardillo: Since you're commenting so we don't have to, would you mind commenting to just yourself?

    Or, you know, don't read shit if you aren't interested.

    Since you're reading Twitter so that we don't have to, would you mind terribly reading it to just yourself?

    "Writer Tricia Romano quietly cursed the blogger who revealed her happy secret." -- *sigh* -- The Twitterati's my most favorite feature. O Gawker, I love you. Marry me! (I'm a little drunk).

    I guess I find this feature a combination of annoying and dispiriting. Don't read it? Just knowing that it's here bothers me.

    It's basically the same concept as "Reader's Digest Condensed Versions." There's the twitter feeds of these people...and there's the twitter feeds I subscribe to. They are different from each other. And there's a reason for that.

    But no - here comes Gawker, all busy, weakly trying to capitalize on the phenom (and have a platform by which to later promote/tie to Nick's book), shoving these random tweets all up in my grill. Gawker is trying to hard with this one. Like I said, dispiriting.
