Oh and, something I guess Jeff Jarvis didn’t consider or didn’t care about, look at Esquire.
What do you see, if you had to categorize the type of journalism?
Yeah, it’s fancier than what is reviewed as such on BB, but it is in fact tabloid journalism.
You can’t actually fail at tabloid journalism
This is the real point that most people aren’t aware of. Jarvis has been complaining about this guy for years. This person is not a good natured satire. This person has it in for Jarvis.
Jarvis has been involved in media journalism for a long time but I really doubt that the majority of people who read the article on Esquire would have any idea who Jarvis is. So I have to wonder why they would post it under this person’s twitter name. I can only imagine that it was at this person’s insistence.
I think the bot-in-development just targets people who use the word 
.
God, I hope so. I can finally get some credit for all my hard work.
DISAPPOINTED DISAPPOINTED DISAPPOINTED DISAPPOINTED DISAPPOINTED
Anything yet?
so it will be a arms race like in the early days of the net? does the bot catch me if I write di*appointed?
We debated changing people’s avatars to that automatically if they used the phrase “I’m disappointed” in comments, but it just wasn’t house style.
I should be so honored to be the avatar of disappoint.
We will be all about transparency. Our party leaders will leave their DMs open on Twitter, and post their Apple IDs on their Facebook page, so any netizen can Facetime with their new rulers at any hour of the day. We will even support Windows Phone and the BlackBerry Priv, to make sure that no netizen is left behind.Totally seems real to me.
See also, Twitter. Done it myself more than a few times.
Good natured satire? What requisition form do I use to be certain any satire or parody of me is this sort? Also, the forms that allow me to complain often enough that satirizing me or poking fun can be stopped after enough are filed, these too send to me.
Jarvis’s problem seems to be that they have become internally a “Serious Person” and “Too Important” to tolerate the tomfoolery any longer. Sympathy - Zulu Echo Romeo Oscar!
Given that something demonstrably satire is more than the poor fellow can bear, I suggest tucking some smelling salts into his pocket square in case someone nearby laughs and he mistakes it for an Esquire reader.
Are you kidding? That would be awesome!
Also need to include a group think avatar for people who reflexively dog pile on non-party line thinking and outsiders…
