Andrew Keen compliments Boing Boing in WSJ
Web 1.0 dot-bomber cum screed-writer Andrew Keen mentioned Boing Boing today in a debate (with David Weinberger, author of Everything is Miscellaneous) about the cultural impact of Web 2.0, published in the Wall Street Journal."Boing Boing is a surreal and supremely inane compendium of miscellaneous knowledge -- listing stories about kidney donor hoaxes, a pedagogical tract on "How to Kiss" and, a game-theory piece entitled "an economic analysis of leaving the toilet seat down." he wrote.
I guess we need to 'fess up. He's right -- Every single one of the 35,000 posts we've published since 2001 has been about organ scams, kissing, or toilet seats. We've been exposed! Link
