I followed hoping that instead of tumblr being filled with slogans written in Helvetica and pics of fetishized asian girls, I would see fetishized pics of friends with slogans written on top of them in Helvetica.

Obviously, that’s not the case.

At first I thought Web TV Dirt was a cool idea. Now I’m unfollowing. No more reblogs from me, guys!

I never did. The last thing our - or really ANY - industry needs is another snarky Gawker/Perez knockoff posting “dirt” on who’s flirting/canoodling/fucking/probably just sitting next to whom. It’s not news, it’s not journalism, it’s “gossip” - which is a near-meaningless word used as a fun little “get out of journalistic ethics free” card.

“Smile for the camera so I can make up rumors about your personal life! Someone told me some completely unsubstantiated speculation about this company that I’ll run as if it were actually valid news - who cares if it’s totally made up and has a negative effect on their business! Maybe I’ll get enough traffic to start selling ads and make some money off of you suckers!”

I can guarantee that if any of my friends is running it, and I find myself the subject of any post on a fucking gossip site, we’re going to be on rocky territory really fucking quickly.

Only if you find yourself the subject? What if one of your friends find themselves the subject? :-)

I’ll keep this brief as I’m writing this from my phone before a meeting: if it wasn’t for moving my work to the Internet, I would never have had gigs on four continents. I would never have been asked to share my opinion on the artform to people much smarter than myself. I would never have started to work on a feature film with the RZA based on an idea I had. I would just be struggling. Now, I’m hustling.

— friends from high school I haven’t seen in a while, last night. I think I counted a total of 38 times I was asked this question from 2 guys within the hour.

Bloggers, do you find people poke fun at “your little blog” because they haven’t wrapped their mind around the concept, importance and value of digital and grass roots marketing? But despite that, they still want to be a part of it….doesn’t make sense….makes them look ignorant and naive on multiple levels if you ask me.

The same is true for people’s perception of twitter, even though every brand, restaurant, grocery store, and public bathroom tweets regularly.

Do you agree?

Fuck. I have been writing an essay on this in my head for about a year, but I’ll just say what I have to say now:

I have come to the conclusion that 99% of my “traditional media” friends think what I do with my life is a fucking joke. I can’t tell you how many times someone’s looked at me and said “Are you Tweeting that?” or “What’s new on the blogs, Molls?” in a mocking way. More often than not I just laugh at them in a way that makes them feel better about their ignorance, “Oh! Hahah! Clever you! Yes! Yes! I do like the Internet! I have found myself a home to whore my wares on the world. You’re right.”

Other times I get defensive, “Oh. You and your open mic nights and endless auditions are really, really bold. Look at you, you little trailblazer! Look at you going on commercial auditions and taking one million acting classes and never getting noticed by anyone but the casting director for a national Alpo spot. Yes. You are much, much more ‘real’ than me. You are doing things exactly the way you’re supposed to. When you put it that way, it’s so clear that I’ve wasted the last six years of my life, roughly.”

Here’s the thing: Those people that mock me? They are the exact same ones that ask me to plug their live shows on my blog. Why? Because I have an audience that I’ve built for myself on that horrible, laughable, illegitimate Internet. Because despite the fact that I didn’t pay 500 dollars for a workshop with some reputable asshole so I could stand in a room with a bunch of other wannabes and pretend to be a tree or a cat or whatever the fuck those people do in those things, I have something you don’t have: the attention of the people whose attention I want.

Yes. It stings. It’s like when I was the first person wearing Airwalks in sixth grade and everyone would make fun of me. Not even a year later, the same kids were all complimenting me on how worn-in and comfy mine looked compared to theirs. You can rag on me all you want, but if you have to ask me to hold your hand or help you out, you should know how pathetic that looks. While you were busy making fun of me and not learning, I was doing me, creating my own destiny and attempting to afford myself the lifestyle I deserve because I’ve already figured out a pretty good system for myself.

Seriously, if I was a New Media Agent in LA (I’m looking at you, ICM), I would sign this girl.

First I would get her a contract to wear Ed Hardy clothes and just go from there. This girl will be huge.

I know you still don’t believe me, but SHE WILL BE HUGE.

“Testament is a series of collective self-portraits made up of fragments from online video diaries, or “vlogs”. Chapters focus on a collectively told vignette, story, proclamation, or meditation on topics such as identity, the economy, illness, politics, the war, or work.”

“Students be given the tools via handouts, homework assignments, contacts, etc…to immediately make their dream web series a reality. Additionally, a panel of expert guest speakers are brought in each week to give each student further perspective on the changing landscape of new media.”

- WebTVPrep.com

So let me try to understand this: It’s a low-rent “college” to teach you how to get into the Web Video Game. And the site has some really bad sentence structure as well as the site looking like it was designed for a Fall Out Boy video.

But when all is said and done, what really depresses me is that there are some smart people who are represented on their “faculty”. The site just looks like a joke and seems like a Get Rich Quick scam.

Hell, I haven’t made 20 personal videos in the last 12 months, so this could be fun/torture/pain/orgazmic!

It’s called BEING A PART OF THE INTERNET.

It’s one of the few things that bother me about the tumblr community. That, and the amount of women with hairy armpits.

just link the artist or photographer with a click-through link. it’s that easy. and don’t just save things without saving who made them. it’s a nice thing to do. stealing art is wrong.

word. also, I may just want to see more art by them on the page you got it from.

“Secret Enemy Hideout calls Simulmedia a new media bounty hunter and as DVR data matures, I expect that the media bounty hunter industry will be a burgeoning one. By having a more intimate understanding of an audience, many different types of advertisers will become increasingly more efficient at extracting value from their ad spend.”
