I'm disturbed by the latest Google ads. Everything Gator is evil.

One of these days I want to generate a thread here that attracts the highest web 2.0 ad dollars...I wonder if anyone here can give pointers.

I am maybe ¼ metrosexual... talking to gays for very long tires me out tho...

astrid:

Maybe if you used the phrase 'semantic web' two or three times?

(semantic web - semantic web - semantic web) ... let's just see...

Nope. We get Gene Simmons & family and Meet-aGuy.com. Boolah.

Interesting. How about them semantic web design thingies and web 2.0 and saltine crackers.

The smelly socks marxist in me fights the metrosexual. To metrosexuals I'm a smelly socks marxist, to marxists I'm a metrosexual :(

DS, if you are ousted by the Marxists, you are welcome to join our club of small-L libertarians. :)

Remember, in a free market, self-interest creates public good.

Need to Create a Blog? and Looking for IT Blogs?

I guess that's progress.

Metrosexuals should be avoided by discriminating people of all genders and sexual preferences. I had an ex-friend who pretty embodies the metrosexual ethos. Looking back, I wonder how I put up with someone so sketchy for so long (who eventually pissed me off when he cheated on a girl I introduced to him and then had the galls to blame her for his cheating and lying).

I’ve never thought of Randy H. as the type of guy I would spot drinking a chi tea latte chatting with the girls on Chestnut Street as a young Korean girl rolls up is $600 jeans to start on his pedicure…

I still haven't figured out what's wrong with Costco jeans. Some of them even come pre-ripped giving that $600 high fashion mystique.

I mostly hang out with nerds and nerdy jocks. I've known a couple ex-marines. Fun for an afternoon, but I would suffocate if I was married to someone like that.

Please release my comment from moderation. I spent almost my entire lunch hour doing the research for it! :-)

Phoenix active listings are flying up at an unbeleivable pace. currently passed 50000 homes. I made a seperate search for vacant homes on the mls and that has jumped from 16000 to 18500 in the last 3 months. Sales activity is picking up, march is looking like about 6000 after 4950 in feb, but this is still off about 10% from last year so i assume its just spring buying. Meanwhile i sampled recent expired listings and found 30% are 2005 and later purchases still trying to make a profit. So, fear has not replaced greed yet and the truth of how bad the market is getting is not common knowldege here yet. My prediction: many more homes will come on the rental market later this summer as investors give up on selling, and most areas will have very soft rental markets for quite a while in addition to soft sales markets. Disclosure: I am a realtor, but i started selling my homes in 04, and am down to just 2; both are paid off so I don't really care what happens if it goes up I will the last rental, if the market tanks I will buy foreclosures. Peace everyone!

Jimbo,

Can you repost that document?
