WeFollow: Kevin Rose's Twitter people directory

If there's anything bigger than Kevin Rose among the Internet geek community, it's Twitter. A combination of the two, as is the case with Rose's new start-up WeFollow (a people-powered directory of Twitter users), could no doubt bring down the Web and disrupt space and time.

No wormholes yet, but I'm still hiding under my desk — just in case.

P.S. Anyone remember Pownce? Rose's start-up from way back that was supposed to compete with Twitter? No? Wait, one guy did.

whoreable says

It is funny cause of pownce.

sockpuppets replies

I'm waiting for the pownce.com domain to expire so I can buy it and build a social networking site for cats.

OMG. I went to an internet website a few minutes ago, and there were DICKS EVERYWHERE.

Masturbate isn't on there?

fguanlao replies

No need for a reminder

At least he is an honest scammer

Usually when daring and frustrated Internet users, try to mess with a phisher, they'll use the ol' bait 'n switch. Mike Nash took a different approach, as you can see in the screen shot to the right. To be honest, Mr. Robert Dutu sounds like a downright nice guy.

id be tempted to let him scam me......seems like such a nice chap!

Joe the Plumber's lonely book signing

Joe the Plumber's book signing in Washington DC was a bit of wash. The event was scheduled to last three hours, but ended after 55 minutes, with our friend Joe having only sold a total of five books.

To be fair, who would have thought his 15 minutes of fame would last 40 minutes longer than it should have. And to think, I could have gone to this, and watched him squirm.

12-hour Viagra-fueled orgy ends in death

Happy Friday!

A 28-year-old Russian man died after taking a bottle of Viagra pills for an apparent 12-hour sex romp. Two women told Moscow police they bet Tuganov $US4300 that he wouldn't be able to satisfy them during a non-stop half day sex marathon. The mechanic died of a heart attack minutes after winning the bet.

No accompanying photo necessary for this one, I think.

alapoet says

Maybe that's how I wanna go out...

fuck AND get money? it normally works the other way around.

New pennies issued by the US Mint

The fine folks at the super coin-making factory emporium (read: the U.S. Mint) have crafted four new pennies for your spending enjoyment. Bonus: the actual coins are worth less than what it costs to make them (1.4 cents a piece). It's a good investment for no one!

ZZOTH says

cool, i'll take 4 of the new ones and buy 4 shares of GM stock.

DirtyBinLV says

Every time I throw pennies in the trash, I think of my Jewish ancestors spinning in their graves.

GB570 replies

You throw pennies in the trash? Why not melt them down..they're worth 1.4 pennies a piece.

Weirdest soccer goal-scoring celebration ever

AFC Bournemouth's Lee Bradbury celebrates his first goal against Grimsby with the new routine, while his teammates played along.

OK, I admit it. I took that description from Digg. I have no idea what any of it means. But some people know what's going on with soccer, right? After all, they call it "football" in some places, you know.

MrBlanks says

No, not the weirdest. This is the weirdest

DarrenFreemont says

I just don't think it was very nice of him to punch all of his own teammates.

ThatGeek says

that was terrible defense.

Christian Bale freak out

By now, you've no doubt heard the audio clip of Christian Bale flipping a shit on the set of Terminator Salvation. So, why not listen to it again? It's fun, and a welcome reminder that Bale is kind of a douche. Damn lighting guy.

KnifeStorm says

Bale's gonna be pissed at the sound guys for recording this.

PixelMagic says

One might say that Bale goes batshit crazy.

How to find new women in your everyday life

I have this terrible habit of giving publicity to things that I think are retarded. They say there's no such thing as bad press. I don't know who "they" are, but damn if they aren't right.

But for the purpose of this blog, the point is to find funny comments. And since stupid-ass articles tend to attract the funniest reactions, here's one for the record books.

It's a miserably stupid piece about meeting girls. (I like to link insulting phrases to these stupid pages to boost their SEO rank for those keywords. Passive aggressive geekery at its finest.) It doesn't even give all that good of information for such a simple task. They're half the population, dude. Just look around and talk to some of them.

ThatGeek sums it up

so... in conclusion, to meet women, go to places where there are women...

daonlyfreez says

OMG, they are everywhere!

mreade says

May sound funny, but I've had really good luck at the zoo... yeah ok, waiting for all the jokes now...

Biggest swimming pool in the world

Take a look at these photos of the largest swimming pool in the world. Located at San Alfonso del Mar resort in Algarrobo, Chile, it's basically really fucking big. Plus, it's like right on the ocean, which makes me wonder why they would spend all this time and money making a big-ass pool when they could've walked an extra 20 feet into a much bigger, less man-made body of water.

OK, so quick story. I'm blogging this one at the library, 5 in the morning when I should be studying. I scroll through the comments to find this jewel by m3mn0n, and lose it. It's either sleep deprivation or the wittiest comment ever. For the sake of you guys, let's hope it's the latter.

MMusick says

It would be nice to swim one lap and be done.

RiceNCurry says

I heard Phelps was born in this pool.

xtonypiercex says

you could pee in it and no one would know

OUSooner replies

What pool can't you do that in?

Ultra nerd in paradise

This geek looks like he's having a great vacation in his living room.

I find this photo especially suiting because I, too, am on vacation right now. Well, not right now, while I write this. But when this post actually goes up. Or is going up. Bah, I suck at tenses. Anyway, I'm on the Pacific beach, so ha!

Hot Super Bowl fans paint bodies

Everybody excited for the Super Bowl matchup?! Look, I'm sorry again for taking so much time away from my golden nuggets. But I can make it up to you with this month-old, but still super awesome clip of girls painting themselves in a sort of Rebecca Romijn (not Stamos!) from X-Men thing.

You might need to login to view the above video. Because it's just that awesome.

tj111 says

Not that I don't love the Superbowl, but I'd rather watch 3 hours of this instead.

feezus says

I liked the part with the boobies.

nils says

Works much better with the sound turned off.

FAKE! no one is actually a Cardinals fan

They met at a bar

I enjoyed this little comic: an exercise in honesty and of how pathetic online dating is. I think. Either that or it's glorifying prostitution. Glorify. That kind of sounds like glory hole. OK, this is just dirty.

By the way, I know this is an old image. ("Older than the Internet!" Man, you are so funny and original.) But that's what happens when I stop updating for nearly a month. Things get stale. My sincerest apologies to Susan, a fan and lone reader of this blog. I have let you and the rest of Texas down.
