MeTa post:
Is someone going to write a book about Metafilter?...
There seem to have been definite eras and events that stood out or marked transition. The early, early posts where it's just Matt weblogging by himself on his community weblog. Then the first influx seems to have been of the original bloggers and everyone was figuring out, "What's a weblog? What are the rules? How do we discuss this?" Where did it go from there? Why are some people still here? Why have some left? What happened? It seems like it might be a good story.... [more]

Right? Because books are dumb, I gotcha. eBooks even, fuck em all. Stories? Also gay.

GYOBFW...
weblog as conversation... The links in this post show a different angle than any that's been presented here. I checked. The google links show that there are abundant/redundant sources for this side of the story. If this story is something worth discussing, this is an angle worth considering. If this post seemed like a troll, then there is some nuance missing somewhere. The post was meant to seem outrageous, because I think that style nicely frames the "debate", it... [more]

1. I liked the google-effect, but I see your point
2. I could concede someday, just between you and me, that indeed this was my mistake. I guess I put it on the front page to stand out clearly. I like all y'all, but I had no idea, from reading here, that this is was the Right has ready for anyone who supports her peaceful death. That's some serious political haymaking bullshit. True or not, it's not out place to know. But I... [more]

can designate a single post for discussion and updates on the Schiavo case? Preferably with a note in the sideblog?
Were that the case I wouldn't have my ass hanging out here... Probably a good idea.

It all happened so fast. Really though, that was fucking stupid. for as meta self-referential as I was trying to be there, it was just wrong. My apologies. On the up side, there are some really nice people here. amberglow, OmieWise, dabitch, anapestic, EB, PST, AS, matteo, VulcanMike, Doohickie. Thank you all. (Point noted and taken.)

MeTa post:
To my knowledge, posts/comments flagged...
A twist on this idea would be to allow viewers of the list proposed here to filter that list based upon who the flags are from.
This is the same way we filter ideas offline. We listen to the people we know. When they make their reactions known, we can guess our own.
For example, in a busy thread there may be three or four key posts that add some meaningful perspective to the issue, but not everyone will see it the same way. So if I can filter... [more]

Uhm, everyone using [more inside] in Ask...
Being that [mi] [MI] [+] [more inside] [more inside] [more] [c'mon in] seems to be the rule, in the interest of simplicity, I propose that [nmi] or [-] be used alternatively, only in the exception.

MeTa post:
I may be in D.C. for the inauguration. Anyone else?...
I'd like to take some pictures and just be there for this (sad) chapter in American history rather than get maced and thrown in jail, but if I can pelt a certain limo with snowballs and take pictures, that would be aces. I'll be travelling there for the first time and (being unfamiliar with D.C.) meeting up with someone who knows the area, or who could just use the company would make this trek all the more momentiful.
On preview:thanks for the tip
