Dramabomb Watch: Review Your Facebook Friends Via reviewmyfriends.com
Review My Friends
Here’s a new website that I’m sure will facilitate talking shit behind your supposed friends’ backs.
Anonymously praise or critique your Facebook friends and see what others think about you. Don’t worry, no one will know you wrote it!
You can easily Connect to RMF via Facebook. And then talk nice things. Or talk shit. The choice is yours.
http://reviewmyfriends.com/ – My friends made RMF, so I might be a little biased, but I think it’s a good idea.
This is not a sponsored post. I’m just promoting them for free because I like them. So um, this is a reviewmyfriends.com review I guess. 5/5 stars. Would gossip on daily.
I also advised them to have a good lawyer on tap in case a 14-year-old Canadian girl kills herself from bullying.
“Aggressive Following” and my Dissatisfaction with Twitter
I tried to start a new media account for viral promotion purposes. On Twitter. Because I thought that’s what the Twitter was for.
I believe, as a semi-professional blogger, that I know how NOT to spam and I also believe that I know how interact with new people online in meaningful and interesting ways. I followed 160 accounts over the course of 2 days. I was suspended almost immediately even though I had 34 posts, most of them being interactions with those people I followed.
To avoid any potential backlash (making me paranoid, Twitter and reddit, with all this banning) I have blurred the username:
Holy shit, does this piss me off.
It was just an annoyance until I tried to go through the whole unsuspension proess and it turns out the Captcha thing isn’t even working properly. [You actually need a space between the two words, a detail they should specify. I actually tried the space the first but I got a straight up Fail Whale technical error the first time.]
I’m glad Automattic and WordPress have never given me any problems. ❤ flexible and reasonable websites.
Share if you feel the same way or have had the same problem with being unfairly suspended from somewhere. Buttons on the bottom. Share my rage; it can be our Twitter rage together.

Sorry, guys. I’ve been neglectful of my cross-posting. Yes, I know tweets have an easy embed feature, but I like the way this looks better.

Happy Second Birthday to My Failed Anthony Weiner Tumblr!
I got an e-mail from Tumblr today:
I am Anthony Weiner turned 2 today!
We hope it was a great year, and we look forward to sharing many more!

I wrote about this a couple years ago, but just in case you missed it:

Basically, I tried to start a “I Am Bradley Manning” Tumblr, expect for Anthony Weiner and with crotch shots: http://iamanthonyweiner.tumblr.com/
I thought there was a chance it might blow up. There was another crotch pics for Weiner website that pretty much copied me.
Both websites turned out to be epic failures.
I was thinking about opening it up again since Weiner recently came back to life with a bid for mayor of New York City. But now I feel like it’s too late. I made the Tumblr before the drama in which he came out as a liar.
–
If you’re a couple years behind on the Weiner news, Wikipedia has your back:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Weiner_sexting_scandal
I don’t feel like Anthony Weiner has a huge shot right now anyway. He probably could have survived the dick pic scandal on pride alone if only he hadn’t freaked out and and then lied about being hacked. So RIP, “I am Anthony Weiner” Tumblr. You had potential, just like Anthony Weiner himself.

Full disclosure:
I am a registered NYC voter now. (I was an NJ resident before. But now am a Brooklynite.) I am actually voting for Christine Quinn, but for reasons other than dick pics.

10/12 Vice Presidential Debate Reax
A couple people checked my blog last night waiting for some re-tweets. I don’t have much really.
Joe Biden called Paul Ryan a liar in several euphemisms. And that’s exactly what everyone was saying he should do and has done. Rally the base, yadda yadda.
Paul Ryan looked like he wanted to cry. I’ve never seen a grown man cry during a debate.
Here is a hypnotic Joe Biden debate .gif from Tumblr. HypnoBiden.
