Pippit, the 'social media app' developed by Mr. Love Taza, his wife, and Oh Joy!, has quietly died. An email sent out to users announced they have 'discontinued support for the app'. When we first came together in 2012 to brainstorm ways to bridge the worlds of blogging and social media, we laid the foundation of a new app, Pippit. Our vision for Pippit has always been to create a beautiful social media platform that highlighted strong blog content with tools for discovering and sharing helpful information as a new framework for social commerce.  We shared the prototype of that vision last summer....

An uplifting new blog, The Skinny City, is pissing off everyone (but probably only you fatties!) With inspirational photos of thin girls paired with healthy observations such as "if you keep this up guys will finally like you" and "the only time people notice a fat person is when they get in the way of the beautiful thin girl walking by", this blog is sure to help the self-esteem of millions of teen girls. It's so great that someone is finally helping girls develop healthy body image and self-worth!

Alina Gonzalez, does not care about your opinion, spent hours yesterday spewing her opinions about every race on the planet. Basically she likes everyone except white women, and thinks the Jewish people have always spoken to her soul.   Oh, did you think that was it? Because A-Goz went on for another 10 breathtaking watermelon text hours, working out her mommy issues in a spectacular, circular, racist stereotype-filled fashion. She begins by telling us that white women suck in bed. (more…)

Young House Love, house lovers, announced this morning that they are moving to a new spray paint project container: Yes, this is a seven-years-in-the-making house coup of ours. We would have loved to take you guys on the house hunting adventure with us like last time, but it all happened so fast and before we knew it we were closing on it. They also made the point - yet again - that their book deal has not made them rich: This is not “the house the book bought” (we still haven’t hit our royalty point), it’s the house that seven years...

Violet Clair posted within hours of Matthew Perry's death claiming he told her she was 'pretty on raya once', so his passing 'feels like a personal loss'. She then immediately began using the death to push her newsletter.

Eric Hites, known as 'Fat Guy Across America' for his failed attempt to bicycle across the continent, has reportedly died.

Sarah Lacy has a twitter, and it is slowly becoming the repository of all her whinging. What does she complain about? HER CHOSEN CAREER. To be fair, she hasn't been too annoying about it this week (maybe because she finally went to the doctor and got herself some dang drugs) but there are still the random wah wah writing is hard work moments: bad news: chapter sucks. good news: i think i know how to fix it. #authorpain 4:34 PM Jan 22nd from web techcrunch post i'm working on is making my head hurt. :( 3:56 PM Jan 23rd from...

I received a lovely gift today - a copy of 'Hey Natalie Jean', the world tour worthy freshman book effort by the blogger formerly known as Nat the Fat Rat. Because I so enjoy drinking and falling on grenades for my GOMIBLOG hamily, I will now proceed to use my day off to read this with a bottle or five of prosecco and update this post in real time with my thoughts, including pictures. Just keep on hitting refresh - I'll get the first part up and then continue updating as I read. Off we go! (more…)
