Chatting with Joe Grossberg today I mentioned that I really don’t understand why so many people read Scripting News. I tried reading it many times, and it always bored me to death. Joe gave me a perfectly good analogy:
it’s like trying to figure out why German people listen to David Hasselhoff
Also, I came upon a nice quote in Mike Meginnis’ interview with Jeffrey Rowland:
You mentioned viral marketing, and that’s something interesting about the ‘net. It really promotes artists who are skilled at making things that people will basically shout at each other over AIM.
Now I think I understand why my own blog is not particularly popular :) Also, I could not help, but remember a Futurama episode:
“Farnsworth: Look, it started out as a calculated plot to rummage through your underwear. But once I got in there, I found more — much more. And now I want to shout our love from the rooftops. Perhaps I’ll breed some sort of albino shouting gorilla.”
