Stupid, stupid Internet

Up until today, I would've told you that the stupidest thing I'd read on the Internet was a white paper titled "Is PowerPoint An E-Learning Solution?" But OMG ponies, the bar has been raised.

Precisely why a made-up word making it to Google should be considered news is never really explored. Wired's whole-hearted gushing about someone who "has registered freedbacking domains and plans to aggregate freedbacking comments on a new website next week" is also a nice touch -- way to accelerate the IPO! Finally, you've got the thoughtfully-placed-last obligatory OTOH about how "consumer ignorance and laziness could also keep the value of the suggestions low."
