The Gossip on MTV
I’m loving MTV’s new Buzzworthy/Artist of the Week promos featuring Portland’s The Gossip. Even though, the buzz has been “worthy” for over a year now.

People I May Not Want to Know…
I know this feature has been available on Facebook in the friend finder for quite sometime, but I really hate that it now permanently lives on my welcome page. There’s enough things to worry about on there, like birthdays, events and hilarious status updates.

Blog Traction is Kany’easy

One blog that I’ve been eyeing for quite awhile though, is Mr. West’s Kanye Univercity. He’s the rapper that has positioned himself as one of the greatest producers of our generation, [...]
