  1. MySpace guru

    Proper terms for “gurus” on every social media site

    It’s really embarrassing to see social media experts running around with the wrong fake-cool job titles, all calling themselves “Facebook ninjas” and “Twitter rockstars”. Let’s clarify what title you need based on what site you have bullshit expertise in.

    • Facebook oracle
    • MySpace swami
    • Pinterest barbarian
    • Twitter queen regent
    • Instagram unicorn

    Explaining away my Facebook frienemy’s supposedly good taste as shown by his Likes

    I refuse to accept that my Facebook frienemy has good taste. This is probably what he thinks about his favorite Facebook pages:

    Arrested Development: Martin Short was the best on that!

    Democratic party: Bush planned 9/11.

    Adele: Just between listens of early Charlotte Church.

    Community: Chevy Chase FTW!

    David Foster Wallace: Inspired me to wear a bandana every day.

    See the real reasons this asshole likes the New Yorker, the Daily Show, and Mumford & Sons. »

    Status Kill: A Facebook Interrogation

    My favorite episode of My Damn Channel’s Status Kill so far, thanks to the clever back-and-forth. You don’t need any context to jump into this, just a loathing of people who post mysterious status messages.

    Unbaby.me’s baby-detecting keywords list is amazing

    I just installed unbaby.me, the browser extension for replacing Facebook baby photos with photos of other, more interesting things. After you set it up in Chrome, it drops you on the configuration page, which features a RIDICULOUS list of keywords they use to locate babies.

    Here it is:

    Check out the most ridiculous baby-detecting list you’ve ever seen. »

    “Condescending Corporate Brand Page” Reminds You Why Brands on Facebook Are So Terrible

    We make fun of Facebook Likes and Twitter Favorites and Hearts and Stars and Horseshoes, but it’s positive reinforcement and our stupid human brains are wired to gobble that shit up. We like this feedback, but not enough to explicitly beg for it.

    But have you ever seen a corporate brand page on Facebook? They’re all shameless monsters, desperate for Likes and Shares. In theory, Likes and Shares make posts more visible to a larger Facebook audience. Then, more people will like that brand, and then that brand can drive cross-traffic to promotions, and then everybody gets rich from all that Like-and-Share money. And that’s why corporate brands on Facebook do whatever it takes to get attention, and they don’t care how much they have to pander to the lowest common denominator to do it.

    That’s why Condescending Corporate Brand Page is such a treat: It’s calling out all corporate brands for posting insultingly stupid Facebook content and then begging for Likes and Shares, and it’s doing it with posts that are simultaneously absurd and familiar.

    See some of Condescending Corporate Brand Page’s best jokes. »

    Status Kill: Government Agent Vs. Facebook Invites

    Most of us won’t even need Google Glasses because we’re already staring at a screen all day. But imagine having an actually interesting job. Say, government assassin. How helpful would Google Glasses be?

    Not at all! Did you think you’d suddenly have cool and useful notifications, and not the same inane shit you deal with on Facebook?

  8. Data Points: These Are Some Data Points

    • “You would not want to read a whole essay about vegetables — all those blocks of text, so chunky — but if the information is presented in bite-sized form, you can handle that.” — “This is a list” by Slacktory contributor Oliver Miller. [Thought Catalog]
    • “We are Gotham’s reckoning, and also a leading private equity firm delivering industry-leading returns for our investors.” [Bane Capital on Twitter]
    • The World’s 13 Laziest Salmon. Another actually funny list born out of a joke piece on McSweeney’s. [BuzzFeed]
    • Facebook! [YouTube]
    • “In no particular order, the weirdest-looking pigeons I could find on Wikipedia.” [/r/misc via Angela Saunders]

    7 More Things Facebook Just Did Without Telling You

    Facebook just changed your profile pic to this bike Mark Zuckerberg is trying to sell.

    Facebook just bought you a dog. It’s being delivered between 2 and 4 so please be home or it’ll be a homeless dog.

    Facebook just locked you out of your Timeline while it thinks through some shit.

    Facebook just sexted your “in a relationship” partner. That was just, like, a goof relationship status, right?

  11. Who Do You Know Facebook game

    Who Do You Know?: This Game Made Me Unfriend People on Facebook

    It didn’t make me, but after I couldn’t name all the Peters I know on Facebook, I was shamed into unfriending a couple, plus some Jameses and a Michelle.

    Who Do You Know? is a simple new game by the guys behind Who Is the Most Famous?. You login with Facebook, it gives you the first name of one of your friends, and you have to fill in the last name. Then you get really depressed at how little you remember your “friends”.

  12. Thank you Facebook

    “Thank You Facebook Song”: Sincere Love For Giant Brands Is Sad and Off-Putting

    Why are we (me, Joe Mande, and the couple of other bloggers who’ve mentioned it so far) so uncomfortable about the elaborate cast-of-dozens music video, shot in several studios and waterside parks, thanking Facebook for being Facebook?

    Is it because we know that while most of the people behind Facebook are also human beings who care about human connection, there’s been a cynical strain in Facebook itself, from its pre-incarnation as the girl-comparison toy “Facemash” to its current efforts to further exploit its users’ information for profit? Not that profit’s a bad thing, but that Facebook isn’t doing us a big favor, it’s already being rewarded quite well for its efforts, in the form of billions of dollars?

    Things You Could Buy for the Price of One Share of Facebook Stock, I Guess

    Everyone’s writing this piece today (Facebook’s IPO day), but it’s after 10:30 and we’re supposed to have two posts up on Slacktory by now, so we don’t have time to meticulously research and illustrate this piece like BuzzFeed’s Katie Notopoulos did.

    Things you could buy for the price of one share of Facebook:

    • $38 worth of rice
    • Several gallons of gas (varies by location)
    • A twenty-dollar bill, a ten-dollar bill, a five-dollar bill, a one-dollar bill, and two hundred pennies to throw at cars passing by the bank, shouting “This is my fuck-you money!”
    • A lot of paper, but less than you’d think, especially if you get the environmentally-conscious shit. Don’t waste this stuff
    • Probably a fuckload of tap water
    • Sponsorship of this post, even though it’s really sweary
    • One attempted handstand, on demand, from a kid under 13 you haven’t met before (in a public place)
    • A $38 calling card, I think they sell those at any amount you want now, somebody please check that for me
    • Some Google ads
    • Some Facebook ads? I’ve never bought Facebook ads
    • 50 different penny stocks (if there’s anywhere that doesn’t charge a broker’s fee)
    • In fact isn’t this whole concept meaningless when not only does every stock transaction include additional costs, but some yokel trying to buy a single share of stock has to get in line behind the entire financial industry?

    The Six Best Text-Based Twitter Versions of Other Sites

    “Text-based site” Twitter accounts are is the next “Shit People Say”. In a week you’ll be able to read the entire internet on one Twitter list.

    @PicturelessPinterest was the novelty Twitter account that inspired @TextBasedTumblr and the rest of this fad. It came first, and it’s still pretty great, but here’s who’s sprung up most recently in this new trend of characterizing websites with little text posts:

    @PinterestFake

    So far, the cleverest account. At first it was realistic, now it’s more openly mocking.

    Find out what five other sites have ‘Text Only’ Twitter versions! OK I’ll tell you, it’s Reddit and Tumblr and Facebook and Instagram and 9gag. Now let’s see their best tweets. »

  15. Brad O'Farrell and the Count to Potato Girl

    Dear Tumblr: I Did Not Start the “I Can Count to Potato” Meme

    This morning I posted this image on my Tumblr:

    With the caption:

    OH NO, THE JIG IS UP, EVERYONE SCRAM!
    *Entire internet replaced with millions of spinning chairs*

    Apparently, I was the first person to post this to a static location online. It was sent to me over IM by someone who got it off of 4chan, where it was leaked a few hours before going up in a Sun article about the “I can count to potato” meme.

    Within a few hours it got over 2,000 notes, and suddenly people who knew the girl in real life started sending me messages about how I was a monster.

    Read the angry messages — and hear about why the Sun are dicks. »
