Having a person coming out of Google would be great not only because you know they have some skills, but that they are completely committed and determined to get it done. What a great coworker they would be!.

For some reason I just cant agree with you. While motivating yourself to accomplish your goals is pretty much the entire purpose of life, what makes a degree automatically one of those goals?

If college is needed to accomplish your future then by all means run headlong into it, and make the decision to enjoy every minute of it. But I think it is a mistake to confuse a college degree with the ability to motivate yourself to do what you decide you want.

Wow. Just wow. That is heartrending, I really don't even know what to say.

Interesting, but my eyes!

Hilarious! While it is obvious for a company to keep tabs on how to act around certain news fiends it is amazing that someone would send those notes to the person.

This is truly a laugh riot.

Well Alex makes an interesting point, that you would need more skill to get a big return on the little hands, but I still think that if you had a large sum of capital and you were especially good at the poking, that small investments would pay off exceptionally well.

Well I do enjoy you using the "Viral=Good" thing. I think a lot of people and advertisers who try to make something viral forget that the entire reason something becomes viral is because people like the content, not because you have some sort of voodoo.

If you want to make something viral, make something good. :D

This is plain genius.

As an infrequent blogger I do know that one of the hardest things is coming up with good and relevant content, and a post about some new web business that is starting up is not only pretty easy and interesting, but a serious cool factor as well.

I can see this really taking off, and people even fighting to cover stories first!

It's visibly a joke, but I don't see why it has to be. Most bloggers that are overlooked "beg" somehow. This is usually done by submitting their site to tagging sites or they simply become active in commenting on social sites.

Wow, that makes "Not just the owner, but also a client" mean a lot more!

Well personally I find that keeping secrets hurts any relationship, company or personal.

People are bloody minded bastards when they think you are not on their side, but when you clean up your messes and make them feel included they will take a bullet for you.
