Twitter Legal Battle Heats Up, As Love Gives Fashion Designer A Bad Name

There is no doubt these days that what’s said on the internet is just as valid as anything said aloud in a public forum. Jobs have been lost over Facebook, and Myspace posts. Blogs have made, and broken careers, and it looks like Twitter is the latest to hit the news in social networking scandal. Twitter now rests at the center of a heated libel lawsuit between singer Courtney Love, and clothing designer Dawn Simorangkir. Dawn recently filed a lawsuit against Love, claiming that the celebrity... Read More

Time to take the shovel out. I’ve been a member of the popular social bookmarking site ‘Digg‘ since late 2006, and I’d like to take a moment to discuss an emerging and unsettling trend I’ve noticed: Digg Elitism and the rise of the Digg Snob.
