Eff the AM: Kanye West is an All-Star Blogger Comments

Posted on November 25, 2008 by OfficialChrisDuncan

Kanye is being complimented for his blog by GQ (according to Jossip). Apparently, they’re calling him out in the “Men of the Year” section for his blog Kanye Univercity. Mr. West is a super-blogger — some days he posts over 10 times. He even managed to post 20 times on the day that he was arrested in the UK. Is that really possible? Probably not. Hip Hop’s Newest Vocoder Fan oozes narcissism in his new Fader interview. Gross. He also attributes his sour grapes outbreak during the MTV Europe VMAs to him being an “independent champion” (the outburst is at 1:10 and quite ridiculous). Right. He also said recently that he wanted to be Elvis. Will his next album’s (likely) mediocre sales temper his attitude? We’ll see… he’s compared himself to Michael Jackson and Elvis in the past week. Please also do not give him credit for the Lego heart he wore on Conan… it’s from the guys in Jackson Swinton.

You didn’t know?  Kanye made underbites hot.

OCD Late Edition: RIP Jimbo Wales Comments

Posted on November 21, 2008 by OfficialChrisDuncan

Jimbo Wales is an innovator. He’s also a big time Google hater and has said that the world’s #1 search engine is severely flawed and lacks openness. Jimmy “Jimbo” Wales is the mind behind Bomis, Wikipedia and Wikia Search. Everybody knows Wikipedia… but people know less about his first project, Bomis, and his most recent project, Wikia Search. You might think he’s a squeaky clean, Silicon Valley nerd… but Bomis was a “babe search engine” and it was discovered that he’s EDITED HIS OWN WIKIPEDIA ENTRY multiple times. The newest project, Wikia Search, was supposed to compete with Google by providing an community-powered search experience. Users could essentially grade the results that they received. Most recently, they added an app platform called WiseAPPS. None of that matters now. Google released “Search Wiki” yesterday and logged in users can do literally the same thing … but with Google. Considering the clout that Google already has by running Blogger, YouTube, and Gmail, it won’t be long until this outstrips Wikia Search. See you later, Jimbo Wales and Wikia Search. Also, has anybody ever noticed how SHITTY the search is within Wikipedia? Unless somebody has created a redirect, you get completely irrelevant results if you mispell anything. Maybe he should focus on that.

Jimbo Wales, we hardly knew ye
