Fleshbot laughs at nerd-sex advice
This AskMe question wasn't good enough for MetaFilter, but it seems to have amused the folks over at Fleshbot (very NSFW). "Because whenever we want advice on sexual intimacy, the Borg-like wisdom of internet geeks is always the first place we turn."
Ask MeFi commented about on Download Squad
Yahoo Answers is a disaster - Ask MeFi commented about on Download Squad.
Weirdest mention of MeFi in the press
Weirdest mention of MeFi in the press: in a press release about advice for college students by a boardgame company. They googled, got Ask MetaFilter, and printed it. I have no idea why.
Sploid on MeFi on wimps.
the 1% rule; creators vs consumers
Interesting article on the 1% rule from yesterday's Guardian [+]
Usage graph irregularities
Curious - what happened approximately 3 months ago that doubled the daily reach of metafilter, according to this graphic?
How do I get help on this through MeFi?
I have a question, but its more of a rallying call (more inside)
Mefite video on smackbook effect
Metafilter reader makes cool YouTube video revising the smackbook effect. The blue and yellow scheme is quite recognizable @ 23 sec.

Articles on (not) blogging at work
Couldn't find any references to this, so here goes: Jessa Werner (another blogger fired, and discussed) is mentioned in the second half of this Thursday's Times piece on (not) blogging at work.
NYT quoting MeFi without attribution
If anyone is interested, The New York Times is quoting Metafilter without attribution. They've got a story about young employees and blogging about work, and they've lifted some of Jessa Werner's comments in the FPP about her situation. Article here (it's on the second page).
Matthew Haughey on the development of Metafilter
Usability: The Site Speaks For Itself has an interesting chapter by Matthew Haughey on the development of Metafilter.
Congressional votes database designed by mefites, wins award
washingtonpost.com's Congressional votes database just won an EPpy. So what? The site was developed by two of our guys.
A question on AskMe on the 3rd and a really great answer in Slate on the 4th.
Interesting coincidence. A question on AskMe on the 3rd and a really great answer in Slate on the 4th.
A Google news alert has clued me into Federated Media.
A Google news alert has clued me into Federated Media. No criticism. I wasn't aware of this and working on the fringes of advertising I found it interesting and thought others might too.
Metafilter on Wikipedia
The metafilter wikipedia article has a slight disagreement over the possible inferences between MeFi's color Blue, "Red/Blue" states, and MeFi's general left-leaning politics - what do you think?
NYT Viswanathan article mentions MeFi
MetaFilter cited in New York Times' article about Kaavya Viswanathan.

MediaShift interviews mathowie
'I did my best to make the place as welcoming as possible, and eventually a few hundred people showed up and we had something good,' Haughey told me via email. 'Since then, I think the strong sense of community — the sense of belonging and getting something out of the participation is what drives people to contribute. There are no points or karma or awards, but I think members enjoy sharing interesting links and comments with each other and seeing their name mentioned on the site.'Scary picture, too
MetaFilter mentionned on autoblog.

CNN ignored us
I have to admit, I was slightly disappointed that Mehfee was not included in this Web 2.0 fanboy schlock story.
New Scientist
I know that in the past, we've developed a kind of awareness that links to op-ed pieces and links to a thin AP or Reuters notice do not make for the best of the posts. To that end, I think Science posts, such as this one, have gotten an undeserved free pass. New Scientist is, well, a rag, which posts sensationalist, unsubstantiated stories with rarely any references or contexts to back them up. Or, to be more succinct: New Scientist posts suck.
Hey, Metafilter's in some card game.
Hey, Metafilter's in some card game. Specifically, there's a glimpse of this thread, and you have to guess the site.
User Mentioned in NYT
Metafilter member Hoder, or as Laura Rozen puts it, the Iranian blog godfather, has an op-ed in the New York Times today: Democracy's Double Standard. Let's hear it for Hoder.
MeFi Mentioned on Lehrer
Xeni Jardin casually mentions Metafilter (and Slashdot) last night on The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer as an online community that works because its users are registered and self-policing.
MeFi in the Philadelphia Inquirer
Metafilter made it into a blog at the Philadelphia Inquirer by Daniel Rubin.

We've got another Metafilter user appearing on Jeopardy! My nearby neighbor (which is why I discovered it), Candyland. Woohoo!

Village Voice piece about Metafilter is in this week's print edition
Whaddya know, I was right: The Village Voice piece about Metafilter is in this week's print edition.
MeFi in the Village Voice
Five dollars to post comments?!?
Five dollars to post comments?!? "Bugger that for a pound of tomatoes."
MeFi on Daily Show?
Daily Show shoutout to MeFi? During last night's show, Jon Stewart punctuated a piece on 24-hour news channels with the timeless phrase "They...have cameras!" Was it a wink at this piece of MetaFilter history? The clip is here ("Baghdad Legal"), and the words are spoken at the 1:25 mark. You decide!
Mathowie in the Post
Our own Mr. Haughey quoted in the Washington Post.
Ask MeFi made Business Week's Best of the Web list for "Research"
I just realized today that Ask MeFi made Business Week's Best of the Web list for "Research" but I didn't notice in time to have everyone stuff the ballot box on public voting so we got last place. heh.

Mefi post in Wired
Not that it's anything earth-shattering but a post I made a few months ago has found it's way into the trackback section of Wired. September 05 issue, page 87. Just thought it was nifty. Doesn't appear to be on the web...
User in Toronto Star
Joelf's live-action Scotland Yard game, which he told us about here, is featured in today's Toronto Star (stupid-ass registration required; use BugMeNot).
Was Metafilter on the latest episode of "Six Feet Under"?
MetaFilter on Sploid
I don't mean to "out" anybody journalistically, but having recently joined the MetaFun here "after four years of looking around", "a-list blogger" and editor of Gawker Media's Sploid* Ken Layne has made a MetaFilter Front Page Post into Sploid's big-dropshadow-headlined** lead story. Of course the story is Dunvegan's post on the Naeem Kahn affair, which I personally consider the best thing on MeFi since we stopped playing that "Blogstop" game. Yeah, let's keep making Ken's job easy... If we can get one of these for every hundred average "NewsFilters", I'll accept that tradeoff.
*which is the only Gawker site I regularly visit, sorry dong.
**actually, my favorite thing about Sploid is how they do the tabloid-ish headlines using just the Impact font and some sneaky CSS, but I digress...

Comment Deletion
I am not a fan of "why did you delete my comment"? posts, but, er, feel compelled to ask... Why delete the three comments in the NYT thread which linked to other online papers? Maybe they should have been more verbose, but I think the point they were making is clear - there's a whole variety of fish in that online paper sea, why get so het up about the NYT?
