Quote from Avinash Kaushik:
 
Social media is like teen sex.
Everyone wants to do it.
Nobody knows how.
When it's finally done there is surprise it's not better.

It Took Joel Bauer 25 Years To Design His Ultimate Business Card

This dude is too too much.

Love that "insider" printing biz knowledge - he's got die cuts, he's got foil stamp, he's got emboss - whooo-ee!

Tweet! (You won't believe what I'm doing right now!) - Opinion

OMG civilization is in peril! Microsharing will be the ruin of us all!

This author's opinion of Twitter: "This is another example of how technology threatens to undermine the foundations of our society. It also underscores how the digital divide has changed and is growing wider as creators of newer and newer technology cater exclusively to people driven by impudent self-indulgence and a voyeuristic interest in the minutiae of other people's lives."

And it just gets funnier from there... I love these kind of bleating rants against the new.
