Morrie the Toupee Salesman

Today I got a letter from digg complaining about my recent comments on various blogs, and the actual potential I have to tell the truth about my experiences there (apparently it scares Kevin and Jay, and threatens their ability to harvest money from digg‘s investors). Never mind that the two of them loudly proclaim that [...]

One of the things I dislike rather intensely about the “blogosphere,” especially as evidenced by what appears on the front page of techmeme, is the “echo chamber” effect.
