The one where the designer carelessly throws around the acronyms and potentially inserts foot in mou
Howdy. I’m Reese Spykerman, a mere designer/developer swimming in a sea of SEO guest whores. Frankly, you people scare me just a bit with your use of acronyms like SERP and PR and SEM (there’s something blatantly dirty about that last one) and I can’t help but wonder what I’m doing here. I was grateful to read, however, ... (Read on Source)

Funny Money
[Unbelievable: On Romenesko we see this letter about HuffPo's "Unearthed: News Of the Week the Mainstream Media Forgot to Report." Once again this column is filled -- saturated! -- with stories that were, in fact, reported by the mainstream media, as anyone could see by clicking on the links. As I was saying.]
[Later this week we'll be shuttering the blog for 10 days while I go on summer break. My current plan is to let the whole thing go dark. No guest kits, no guest bloggers, no nuthin' -- to just lock up everything, board the animals, turn off the power, turn off the water, and let the blog gradually revert to wilderness. By the time I return the blog will be indistinguishable from a pile of mulch.]
Today the Post reports on executives making $14 million a year, or maybe $27 million. Some of them work for places like Freddie Mae [and Fannie Mac]. I find myself on the verge of taking umbrage.
But mostly I regret that I didn't go to business school. Money has always bored me. To this day, with the economy tanking, I still don't understand anything in the Business section. My strategy has always been to take all my money and put it someplace safe -- newspaper stocks -- and then let the chips fall where they may.
What's clear, it seems from today's headlines, is that people who wheel and deal need the discipline imposed by the knowledge that they are liable for their losses. That hasn't always been the case in the housing market. Lack of discipline also defines the federal government, with both the White House and Congress being so willing to spend money they don't have. Didn't I just say that this deficit would hit nearly half a trillion?
See this piece by Larry Summers :
'To see the temptation and danger inherent in such a situation, one need only look back to the mismanagement of the savings-and-loan crisis. Policymakers protected depositors, allowed institutions to operate even when their fundraising depended on government support and suspended regular standards in order to attract private capital. With gains privatized and losses socialized, taxpayers ultimately ended up with a $300 billion-plus bill (measured in today's dollars).'
Here's Paul Krugman in the Times:
"Lenders ignored the warning signs because they were part of a system built around the principle of heads I win, tails someone else loses. Mortgage originators didn't worry about the solvency of borrowers, because they quickly sold off the loans they made, generally to investors who had no idea what they were buying. Throughout the financial industry, executives received huge bonuses when they seemed to be earning big profits, but didn't have to give the money back when those profits turned into even bigger losses."

Check out these two excellent pieces on the Umbrage Epidemic.
First there's this piece by Jonathan Alter of Newsweek. Excerpt:
' One would have hoped that the presence of millions of little press lords on the Web would mean a much greater range of stories. Instead, Web traffic closely tracks the latest cable obsession. Even last week's specter of bank runs for the first time since the 1930s couldn't shift the focus from umbrage to substance. For two days, the Obama-New Yorker flap (and yes, I covered it, too) obliterated everything else in the media universe.
'The good news for Obama (or for John McCain when he makes a gaffe) is that all these weekly flaps quickly pass. When flaps came monthly or quarterly in a campaign, they lingered in the system. Today's media feeding frenzies are the equivalent of junk food, leaving everyone immediately hungry again. The immediacy and ubiquity of the Web intensifies the binge-and-purge cycle, but it also makes it commonplace. Most voters don't notice or remember for long.
'The umbrage and venom and brilliant crowd-sourced insights are all preserved forever in archives, but there's too much of it for anyone to track. By the end of this first Internet campaign, we'll know everything. And nothing.'
Meanwhile, John Dickerson at Slate has been tracking the rise of umbrage as a political weapon. See also Jack Shafer's column on the New Yorker cover.
