stupid internet joke day
While I might occasionally notice interesting inconsistencies
in the structure of the world and phrase them into semi-witty banter, I know in my
bones that I am not a funny person.
So when I realized that tomorrow's imminent arrival of
Stupid Internet Joke Day
(was: April Fool's Day) would require the avoidance of all unnecessary internet
contact, it also occurred to me that I may as well point out some common
Funny Anti-Patterns. But that's been done to death - thank you,
internet hipsters.
I merely wish to remind you all that elaborate hoaxes (press releases involving
small company acquiring a large one, switching stylesheets with someone, etc) are
immediately and transparently stupid. Instead, try to actually do something
surprising. The ha you save might just be your own.

Internet hipster! There's no need to be insulting, sir. :)

Perhaps you are funnier than you realize.

Totaly off-topic:
Don't you feel that having a protected twitter feed goes against what you pioneered on the Internet? I don't mean to be a wise-ass, but it really did confuse me.
Anyway, what I really wanted to ask you about was - why is there no del.icio.us for groups? Del.icio.us would be a kick-ass lightweight group tool just by allowing me to define a set group of connected accounts and allowing them to post collaboratively. With an rss feed that would probably make me drop google groups entirely.
Kind regards,
John Sjölander
