Well if it depended soley on me right now then the cat would get it. I use Google+ and i do follow you. Facebook? Haventâ used in years.
What sort of monster would dress a cat as Fatty Arbuckle?!
Ever since Sabrina the Teenage Witch was canceled, the cat has had to take work where he can find it. Piano player in a brothel is a new low.
I would, but Iâm taking that as a challenge, and I sorta really want to see Xeni murder a cat.
If thatâs a real vintage clip, we can be pretty sure that catâs been dead for many yearsâŚ
Mommy, make the dead cat stop moving!
Itâs a Jazz Cat. The cat gets it whether I follow someone on Facebook or not.
Good thing I kept my copy of 101 uses for a dead cat.
I already look at the site, okay, the BBS, anyway. What would be the point of following you on Facebook, or Twitter?
What is it with Boing Boingâs endless and ever more desperate sounding âplease follow usâ on this or that horribly invasive social media platform? Its like every other story, several times a day, please please please follow us! Honestly, Iâve dealt with junkies that were less demanding.
No, ok?
Hi, I am a very successful social marketing guru who specialises in helping old new media properties retain and grow value in an increasngly competitive post-new media landscape. While I applaud your repeated innovative and intrusive attempts to extract the most value out of your eyeballs, in partnership with the key commercial surveillance providers, I believe that I can help you take that next step across what I call the Internet Commercial Kudos (ICK) threshold.
The problem is that you have a lot of low-value content consumers (or âreadersâ, if you want to get all âsteampunkâ) who arenât in the affluent, vacuous, merch-consuming demographic (or âmakersâ, in your inspired newspeak), and although youâre certainly irritating them through advertorial content, outsourcing comments to Discourse, incessant hectoring to leave the open web and join parasitic data silos, youâre not quite completely alienating them. This is a problem if you want to provide a high-purity product.
Please donât think Iâm being disparaging. Youâre close. Youâre very, very close. With the asistance I can provide, I believe we can turn your audience into a much more attractive commodity for the eyeball-consuming market, and their partners in the international intelligence community. When youâre ready to take, the next step, just âlikeâ me on Facebook.
Iâd say the cat was dead when the film was made. It looks like a taxidermy puppet to me.
Sigh⌠The plethora of pointless cat pictures are bad enough, but now theyâre animated and why? For the sole purpose of begging people to waste more time on facebook? For what? To talk about cat pictures?
Iâm sorry, but the cat pictures are really depressingly awful. Xeni, you are an intelligent creative person, you can do betterâŚ
The welcome message when I signed just now asked âDoes your reply improve the conversation in some way?â Yes, if it reduces the number of non-sequiturs on Boing Boing then the conversation will improve dramatically.
âFacebook? Too mainstream.â
- the unknown hipster, ca. 2012
Seriously, though - I spend too much time on BoingBoing already. Time well spent, bit still.
Iâll just pretend this topic was never posted, okay?
Facebookâs fancy metrics getting yâall in a tizzy? Next âgroup meetingâ Xeni please stand up and repeat a BB hunch from a few years back: meh. The generalized âFollow us on Twitter/Like us on Facebookâ request is already a dead cat.

I demand more non-sequiturs!
Interesting read, thanks!
