Less than a year after announcing she was closing her blog Mckmama, pill shiller, has now announced that she will announce a new blog soon. A new internet venture is unsurprising to everyone who watched her writhe as her domain was cruelly confiscated last year by The Man, and speculation has begun on whether this will be another personal-for-pay blog or something connected to shilling the supplements she once claimed could help special needs kids.

Dietbet, after an initial response to the fatgirlfedup scandal, has released a final statement of their intentions regarding their partnership with Lexi Reed. It's exactly what everyone expected - the company will continue to work with the weight loss instagrammer. (more…)

I have no idea why I found this so funny, but Choire is funny and awesome, so we will use this as a teaching moment. Lunch Time At The Office David Cho: Do you want me to bring you a sandwich?

Jen Gotch, runs some kind of online store or something, was driving down Sunset in her car, which she does not live in, when she saw a moment worthy of instagram. Some followers were shocked, telling Jen to "offer compassion and empathy, not exploitation", while others reacted with lols, saying "Are you sure that's a lady? Haha". Still others waved their banners of support, telling Jen they see the image as part of her "quest to find what it is to intentionally live your life with grace and gratitude".

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....
