I appreciate that you keep this blog going and allow comments. To me feedback is an interesting part of a blog.

So, are you currently in the market for quantity or quality? I may just be a lowly Flippery Fish in the Blogosphere Ecosystem but I might be able to offer both.
Your acquisition of Oliver Willis does give you brownie points for diversity, but so far I notice no female-owned blogs in your stable of talent. I’m sure that’s an oversight, but one I can correct.
What do you say?

Adam, you also seem geographically concentrated in the northeastern quadrant of the nation. Sure, Doc’s in California, but he’s really so amorphous and so de-emphasizes his location that he hardly counts. You need to diversify into every corner of the great land that Michael Powell now offers to your greedy, oligopolistic, grubby little fingers.

Like Lis, I’ve reached the level of Flippery Fish in the Ecosystem … small, but not completely insignificant.

You know the great thing about Murdock, Disney, GE, Westinghouse, Gannett, and Time Warner taking over all of the media? No one cares. A half dozen corporations can lull the willfully ignorant masses into thinking that more power for them is good for us. Corporations that benefit from the current administration, which benefits from the corporations. Now if they were having sex in the oval office, that we could get excited over.

Good point re: female-owned blogs. Adam, why aren’t you going after quality concerns like Dooce, Que Sera Sera, Fussy or Mimi Smartypants? They all get big traffic, and unless I’m very much mistaken, big traffic = commercial potential.

If you’re in the market for a truly bland, PC correct, and totally wimpy site, why I think mine fits the bill. We’re talking poor writing, totally biased views, oh and I promise I can insult with the best of them, unless, of course, they pay my salary.

Look, I’ve been waiting on an offer for my web blog. But I’ve not got one word from you. If you’re going to be the next big monopoly, you’re sure going about it all wrong. Fine, I’ve got better things to do………besides, I got all painted up and don’t want to waste it.

How can I buy shares in Fanapco(tm)??? Sounds like a sure thing to me.

Um, if you haven’t bought shares in FANAPCO yet, you’d better hurry.

And as majority stakeholder in “Fanatical Apathy,” I’d just like to say that Adam hasn’t cleared any of these buyouts with the Board.

Ahem.

Hey, I’ll take overinflated stock options as payment for my blog. Come on, I’m going to be the next big thing. Well, maybe not the NEXT big thing, but I’ll definitely be in the top 10,000.
Ok, how about in the top 100,000,000?
