Remember when young ladies, at an appropriate age, would be launched into society via tasteful and civilized cotillion balls? Emily Brill changed all that. Now debs just start a blog and hope that Gawker picks it up. Well, our little Emily learned the hard way that trying to be a fancy society lady by exposing your every banal thought and youtube video to the internets is not a good idea. She packed it in, keeps her Crap to herself, and consequently has less grief in her life. She figured it out - if you want privacy and respect, the internet...

Have you always wanted to hang out with Kevin Rose? (Sit down, Julia Allison.) Are you in Phoenix? Right this very minute Kevin is somewhere downtown having a good time, and hopes you will join him: Anyone want to meetup for a beer with @glennmc and I tonight in Phoenix? 9'ish? good bar near downtown? about 4 hours ago from Tweetie Oopps.. correction, tweetup address: 122 N. 2nd St. Phoenix, AZ 85004 - see you there 5 minutes ago from Tweetie Why are you still reading this?

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9uAj1b9X9Is] When not busy turning into some kind of Madonna look-alike, Mary Rambin likes to practice being a time travelling Delorean. Yesterday I got tasered. Yikes! I could barely watch the video this morning without getting a little nauseous…. (If this doesn’t work, I’ll upload again later. Off to the airport.) Somewhere Ben Franklin is laughing his ass off. EDIT: Yeah, this is just a teaser video. She doesn't get tas0r'd. You just get to watch her go omg omg omg omg omg. I know, disappointing.

After all that hard work at CES, Michael Arrington, gently used tampon, likes to kick back with a little lingerie: I'm at Victoria's Secret (Stanford Shopping Center, Palo Alto). http://4sq.com/8Lh2Ls about 12 hours ago from foursquare Yes ladies, now you can envision Michael Arrington touching the thongs you later put next to your crotch. Is he buying for  himself? Perhaps picking up some little diddles for a lucky lady? I can't decide which scenario is more interesting.

Shira Laza, trendsetter, has joined the illustrious ranks of Julia Allison and Cary Randolph - she is posting pics of her luggage. http://twitpic.com/xhth2 - This is what happens when your bag explodes from 3 weeks of back and forth traveling! 12:00 AM Jan 10th from TwitPic I still fail to see the point of these posts. Why do we all need to know that you got home from traveling, were too tired to deal with your bags, and just emptied them on your floor? I don't understand how this is endearing, or engaging, or interesting. It's pretty much what everyone...

As you know, we here at GOMIBLOG have one of those stupid formspring things. It's handy for a website like this, were people have questions about things we can't do full posts about. I don't have one for myself, though. Personally I wouldn't enjoy it because I think it shows a level of narcissism that even twitter can't match. I really hate how everyone suddenly has questions about themselves popping up on their tumblrs from I suppose random readers of their...tumblrs.  Ya know, because having a blog where you write about yourself day in and day out just isn't enough;...

Rachel Sklar, Editor At Sklarge and disco nap for your soul, is heading back east after doing something out west: Last day in Mediaite's West Coast Bureau... http://tweetphoto.com/8385010 4 minutes ago from UberTwitter I didn't even know they had Mediablight offices on the west coast, but I'm renowned for talking Crap about things I have no idea about. She's had a good time - she made some new friends, she tweeted that Who's The Boss girl, and she told me to put a sock in my twittermouth. But alas, awesome times end, and as the Pacific coast residents gather with...

Following rumors of a maybe going to happen proposal, The Amazing Karpov posted what I can only hope is part of Rachel's vows: “If you’re in any way responsible for my death, you’re never allowed to move on.” — <3 RaVid (DaRach? I'm not good at those celebrity couple names) are already wonderful at compromise - just three days ago they settled a food related argument with no bloodshed: I want Breakfast for Dinner, but Rachel doesn’t want Breakfast for Dinner. Compromise: Lunch for Dinner. They will be the internet's most famous post-ironic meta couple, mark my words.

Peter Feld, last surviving knight to guard the Holy Grail, is concerned about your lack of interest in New York senate stuff (it's the senate, right? What, I didn't read it): Something is fundamentally wrong with New Yorkers’ level of civic engagement when even Julia Allison can barely move a Gawker story about New York state politics. Just under 300 more pageviews gets a flame for Pareene’s post about her ex possibly challenging Gillibrand, come on gang! What has Gawker come to when even a mention of Julia Allison can't get the readers in a political tizzy? What's it going...

Sarah Lacy is having problems with yet another visa. Instead of taking this as a sign that perhaps the rest of the planet wants her to stay home, she decided to tweet about how the international visa system could make this easier for her: thanks to *further* visa problems i'm USA-stuck until mid feb. :( about 2 hours ago from web i have never been denied a visa. the hoops are just insane. US needs to take the lead & create a better global visa system for biz travelers about 2 hours ago from web lemme be clear for non-english...

Robert Scoble, arbiter of all that is cool in the tech startup scene, has some advice for you. What's that? What do you mean you don't want to hear it?! @marshallk launching a non-gadget tech startup the night before CES is pretty stupid, if you ask me. about 10 hours ago from web in reply to marshallk Guess what, Scobie- HE DIDN'T ASK YOU! @Scobleizer no offense intended but IMHO your strong opinions about what's stupid aren't your most valuable contributions to conversation about 10 hours ago from Tweetie in reply to Scobleizer Ah yes. Marshall has now joined a...

Paul Carr, renowned author, is writing another book. No, he totally is. He's going to wrap it up any day now. He means it! He's going to finish that book right after he does this thing, or something. Then he'll finish. He swears! Tappity tap tap tap. I swear next week I'm going to have my deadlines back in some kind of order. #probably 4:43 PM Jan 3rd from Seesmic OH: "It's not difficult: just keep typing until you've finished, you lazy hack." (I'm in my hotel room on my own) 10:57 PM Jan 3rd from Seesmic Heading to brunch...

For a while now, you've all seen me rave about Rachel. It's not because David Karp is her boyfriend. Before I knew she was dating The Amazing Karpov I used to love her Library Sciences blog. She posts a lot of cool old photos and quotes, and it was always such fun to read. Then I find out she's a vegan chef (heard this through a fifth hand party, may be inaccurate) and I think "dang, where was she when I was trying to be vegan?" Not that she could keep me away from Franzia and velveeta (not vegan) but...

Robert Scoble, "tech journalist", has posted his startups to watch article for 2010. He carefully combed the internet and investors to find the startups that are really providing something unique, valuable, and cash-makeable. Or, he just told startups to email their press releases and he slapped the article up: So, my hot startups to pay attention to in 2010 post http://bit.ly/5cdQ4s is up. If you are a startup & wanna be on next 1, drop me a line! 13 minutes ago from web Other predictions include such staggering insights as "Trend? That we’re going to share even more info with...

OMGBEARS McCarthy, future frantic user of IVF, hates your loud ass kids! Dear upstairs neighbors' kid: You've been screaming and crying for a half hour straight. Aren't you getting tired of it by now? Yes? Please? about 5 hours ago from TweetDeck Listen you entitled yuppie larvae: Bears is TIRED. She works all day doing something. She wants to be able to come home and relax with that youtube channel of cats on roombas without hearing your screeches. Seriously, little ones...you should probably knock it off. This is the face of a woman who snacks on children while they dream...

“I’ll never get bored with you. You’re terrifying.” — Rachel Unsubstantiated rumor time! You know how we here at GOMIBLOG love to whisper all kinds of dubious stories over our cubicle walls when we should be doing journalisty things. Well here's one a lil pine cone shaped head passed on to me: David Karp wants to propose to Rachel! I hope it's true. Can you imagine all the tumblwhore suicide threats from the David Fan Club? And omg they will be the Trumps of Tumblarity. Or ya know, some other power couple. Hipster Brangelina! This is a total rumor so...

thatgirlallison, yawn farmer, has had an ah-mazing year. She set the media social scene on fire, blazing through parties and securing her place as That Sorta Chunk Chick In The Pepto Tights. She posted a long pointless recap of her glorious aught nine. Here are some highlights: May: I go to Sweet and Vicious for the first Obliterati but end up leaving right away and head into an event across the street, where I meet Jonn and we go to my first Gawker HQ party.  Fun!  The Webutante Ball was this month too, I believe. June:  Go to the second...

by KrakenSkulls Gawker Media, haters of spell-check, showed us today that even the editors don't bother reading the regurgitated copy their authors spew out in a frantic spree to garner page views. As seen in this screen shot, they allowed a glaring typo in the first sentence of an article to slip past their crack editorial staff before publishing to their unwashed audience of New York media has-beens. Sure, anyone who has read Gawker more than once knows they up like this on a daily basis and you may be wondering why I bothered to write about it at all....

Robert Scoble, tech expert, wants to get you drunk so you will tell him things: If I was a smart tech journalist I'd invite Vic Gundotra out for drinks tonight and get him to spill the beans on the Google phone. :-) 13 minutes ago from web Why do people think that pouring drinks down someone will result in all kinds of beans all over the table? For instance, I am currently drinking vodka and I would never just tell everyone that I just found some crazy ass hair growing on my shoulder for no reason. It's not like drinking...
