Comment on Chobot Effect by Ryan Markel

I too was ready to just let it go and be happy that someone who appears to genuinely like the series was given an opportunity to record dialogue for it. Surely I would have jumped at the chance had I been offered it.

The fact is there’s plenty of blame to go around on this one and the only thing I can fault Chobot for are the quotes in the G4 piece, which are just awful.

Getting more clear on the blog topics and thinking about what kind of community you want to be a part of make so much sense. Very much looking forward to reading the posts you are going to write this year!

I’ve listened to Chobot on an old Podtoid episode and she seems really sincere, BUUUUUUT this whole thing brings to mind those ads in game magazines from the 90s. Either it was a voice out of frame ignoring an attractive woman because of games or the standard show some skin with the product. Even in high school I would rage at these ads. “Really!? This is how these companies view me? As a hormonal cave thug who follows any primal response without question?”

I really don’t like the idea of personal attacks and hurting Chobot’s feelings because she is just trying to make her way like everyone else. This sort of mentality from the Marketing MBAs and high ranking money-suits needs to end though. Hopefully the backlash will change a few minds.

Good summary.

Unfortunately, those methods aren’t available to users on WordPress.com, so they can’t use a fully-supported Pinterest button at this time.

It's not much, but a quick way to append Pinterest pin button to the sharedaddy buttons: via jQuery (did a quick tutorial). Really just appending there goodies link to the last list element.

thanks! I even wondered if this front row thing meant my computer had a virus, so this was very helpful.

My wife just noticed that there are “Pin It” buttons on articles at marthastuart.com. I had a look at the code behind them and it looked really complicated. If you do happen to figure out how to make it work, many would be interested. Thanks!
