Type-A Parent, arranges a bunch of conferences for mommy bloggers, revealed last month that mommy bloggers don't actually make squat. Now AdWeek has provided a more in-depth breakdown of the responses, and it's pretty eye opening. It seems most respondents invest more in premium blog themes and conferences than in actual advertising, and "product reviews" are number two in the list of covered topics with "causes" coming in dead last. The survey also reports that the "most despised job title by far is mommy blogger, with two out of three respondents saying they either hate it or never use it" -...

Katrillionaire mommy blogger Dooce, don't call her a mommy blogger, is once again reposting archives because she is "currently out of town on business, so for the next few days I'm going to post some things from my archives that many of you have probably never seen." (more…)

This post serves no purpose. Everyone seems to need a good dose of Bears today. Happy Friday, all!

SomethingNavy.com seems to be down. The website went offline over a week ago and has not returned. Is this the sign that the brand is done for good?

While I was apparently under a rock, Kendi of "Kendi Everyday" announced her three year old store Bloom will be closing its brick and mortar location. We are closing our store front on May 10th. We are not closing our online shop, but we will slow things down so that we can re-evaluate what we really want bloom to become...

So I guess the idea of Kon-Mari is to throw out everything and get all new stuff every 3 months? Or no? Because that's what all the bloggers pushing it seem to be doing.

Yesterday we reported that David Karp's friend for sex, Rachel, had crabs. Today we learn that Rachel was apparently injured in a vicious crab struggle! Karp tries to make it sound like no big deal: Rachel hurt herself :( We know the truth. Crabs are evil, angry creatures with nothing but revenge on their minds. Get well soon, Rachel. And watch out for crabs.

In a shocking event that surprised users (no not really), tumblr had an issue this morning. A "typo in a PHP tag allowed users to see source code" and supposedly also allowed people to see usernames and passwords. According to google cache at least some users were compromised: but tumblr's response claims otherwise: We’re certain that none of your personal information (passwords, etc.) was exposed, and your blog is backed up and safe as always.This was an embarrassing error, but something we were prepared for. The fact that this occurred at all is still unacceptable, and we’ll be seriously evaluating...
