Tech World, I Am Your Master
Wow. Apparently the folks at Twitter read this blog. (Who doesn’t, right? I’m like GigaOm, but with copy editing.) Within hours of my last post, Twitter got rid of the miserable excuse for a Chief Architect, Blaine Cook, who was to blame for all of their problems. (Well, at least according to TechCrunch.)
I had no idea that I had such a tremendous amount of influence in the web community. Scores of people complain every day about Twitter’s abysmal performance in blogs or on Facebook (or even on Twitter) and presumably many times more do so via emails to support. They all go ignored. I post “What is that site, 20 lines of code? Fix it already,” and almost instantaneously the wheels start turning.
What should I use my God-like powers of blogging manipulation for next? I’m thinking of maybe convincing Yahoo to just sell themselves to MSFT for $8.25 a share so my RSS feeds will be reduced by 10 per day.
Any suggestions? Power like this must be wielded carefully.

I suggest you put an email address somewhere on this blog. I had a thing I wanted to mention that was only tangentially relevant to your latest post, and I didn't want to put it in the comments because I'm polite and know that off-topic comments are annoying. But where is your email address? So now I have found some post with (almost) no comments to send you this off-topic suggestion.
