Look at the nice Spin Thicket feed the Pierce Mattie blog has added to its sidebar. We encourage you to pick your favorite Spin Thicket category or two, and do the same.
The Life of Anna Nicole Smith, in Pictures
I’m sure the evolution of Anna Nicole Smith says something about our celebrity-obsessed culture, or about the Playboy ideal of womanhood, or about Hollywood, or about our build-’em-up-to-tear-’em-down pathology, or about US Magazine and the National Enquirer — or all of the above. Maybe it’s even a metaphor that sums up the meaning of our existence (or lack thereof). I’m just not smart enough to figure it out right now.
Mourning the Lingerie Bowl
Sigh. Maybe next year.
Go Dolphins!
Update: Looks like the Lingerie Bowl may be gone for good because no one wants to sponsor it.
Update 2: Or not.
Spin Thicket Adds New Features: Tags, Search, Profile Pages
We’ve added some new bells and whistles to Spin Thicket and hope you’ll check them out. Specifically:
1. Everyone who registers now gets an editable profile page; for example, here’s mine, and here’s Katie’s, and here’s Casey’s, and here’s Cam’s, and here’s Phil’s.
2. We’ve enabled the addition of tags when posting submissions, and we’ve improved the site’s search function (including the option to search all content or to search only by tag).
3. We added individual RSS feeds for each category on the site. Since we’ve logged well over 3,000 posts since we launched on Nov. 1 (that’s about 35 posts per day), we know the full site feed can be a bit overwhelming. So now you can subscribe just to the category or categories that most interest you.
In fact, I’ll go ahead and suggest a few “feed packages” for people with specific leanings:
Advertising –
Ad Biz
Cool Commercial
Lame Commercial
Sex Sells
Public Relations –
PR Biz
PR Nightmare
On-Air Meltdown
Mumbo-Jumbo
Journalism/Media –
Media Biz
Crack Reporting
Media Bias
Typo
Celebrities –
Hollywood Spin
Celebrity Trainwreck
Attention Whore
Politics –
Politics as Usual
Craven Demagogue
Right-Wing Spin
Left-Wing Spin
Spin Thicket’s traffic and subscriber numbers continue to grow week by week. Expect to see more new features in the coming months.
