Watching the media hump Andrew Weiner …

| June 7, 2011

… is a little like watching a sexual assault, at this point. Which is to say, it’s not sexy, and not about sex. Now it’s about violence and humiliation. Along with everyone else, I wrote about it (a bit) yesterday. The only (other) person who I think caught the story right is Hendrik Hertzberg at [...]

EduHookups.com sold, security an issue

| May 18, 2011

EduHookUps.com, a startup from kids at the University of Chicago, had perhaps the best shot going at becoming the “Facebook of Sex,” a web nickname that any number of social networking sites have coveted for years.
