Guess I'd better stop ReTweeting and Reblogging content if I wanna be unique! ;D

Re: uber lame even for an LJ toy

[lolmac]

Yup. I did an eyeroll once I found out just how shallow it was, though. Really, if you're able to make an online toy like that, at least make it interesting.

Did you follow any of the relevant threads on Making Light during IWriteLike-Gate? After they had outed the hacker's plans to sell his cute little app to the self-publishing exploitation gang (they tracked down his hacker board posts about 'monetizing' the app), the little sh*t turned up in the thread himself and tried to bluster and deny and threaten.

Then the toy went offline, and then came back online without the affiliation to the vanity publisher. The whole thing was a scheme to set up hopeful noobs for getting fleeced. Thus did he suffer the wrath of Yog (yes, the Yog; Jim MacDonald was one of the people who outed him).

BTW, apparently it's mostly keyword driven.

Yes, I vaguely remember the related e-publishing kerfluffle! I think the programmer also caught some flack for not including enough women and PoC in his db, too. It's sad that aspiring authors are so victimized; someone on my F-List sold a novel to an e-publisher, but hasn't received her edits on it for over 6 weeks. :(

BTW, I ran my sock account through the Personality Test: http://sockyy.livejournal.com/2958.html

Well, once the hacker had been outed as a greedy online gangster, accusing him of not being PC is a bit lame. He's a Russian hacker, for heaven's sake.

I adore the analysis of Socky. Especially since the 'analysis' showed that an orphan interest such as 'grudge wank' triggers a special bit of boilerplate all its own. Awww.

I'm now fighting the temptation to leave abusive anonymous trolling comments in your sock puppet account, just 'cause it's so cute. *g*
