3410,
Which just happens to be exactly what Google are calling their new equivalent of Facebook's Like button/data-harvesting service.
Since when does "+1" mean "you should check this out"?

they've never been that strong on explaining themselves when it comes to anything social :)

What utter twaddle:
Your +1’s are stored in a new tab on your Google profile. You can show your +1’s tab to the world, or keep it private and just use it to personally manage the ever-expanding record of things you love around the web... Regardless of whether you chose to publicly share your +1’s tab, your +1’s will still be visible to others viewing the content you +1’d.
etc.

Lately we seem to have developed an informal "+1" custom.
What amuses me about that is that on Balloon Juice, "+n" indicates the number of drinks you've had before posting your response.
It actually works on multiple levels in that case.

Yet another of Emma's threads devolves into a discussion of dicks. A trend perhaps Emma? Just sayin'
Sometimes they start out that way
So while we're on the subject...

Take a look: The Stroppery: tea, crumpets and fucking the patriarchy

I am so pleased about this. So, so pleased.

Right, now I can talk about it, yay!
So, um, yay.
The Stroppery is a sort of natural extension and marriage of Tits Out For Ourselves, and the Wellington Feminazi Boner-Killer drinks. It just seemed to make sense to assemble people who were all doing the same kind of stuff in one place.

Oh no! I got lost! Do I want a blog for myself? No - don't. So why, when I went to register to be a strop, was that the first question? ( I'm pretending I don't know what to do. I'm very savvy about the internet, like Katrina, don't you know? Not.)

That'd be WordPress, I think. It loves you and wants you to have your very own WordPress site, no matter what! Honest, it's just looking out for you!

Ho-kay. As long as it doesn't die of neglect....

We launched this morning, and in the first four hours we’d already had our first rape threat, and been called sluts twice. It’s a blast.
And depressing -- perhaps I'm just getting old, but I remember when trolls made a fucking effort. "Oi, slutz U just need a gud root" is as tediously predictable as it is nauseating.

I have to admit I'm a little disappointed myself. Mind you, given there's no specific content up there yet, I guess all objections have to be kind of generic. At least people should be able to decide whether we're getting laid too much, or not enough.

Apart from the known PAS troll, what did the others look like?

Emma Hart, in reply to
I know of two on the linked post at The Hand Mirror. TRIGGER WARNING
One was just "sluts". The other was:
I hope they all get gang raped in the ass.

Ugh.

Bingo cards at the ready then?

Sigh. The fuck is wrong with these people?

Danielle- what I cannot understand is this: Emma & others have set up a website that will appeal to a lot of 'certain parties' - great!
It's not a site I'm ever going to visit, or otherwise comment on but - really excellent it's out there. So: why do thug spoilers go visit? They're really thick'n'nasty male teenage hoons? I know the shits are out there-

Feminist forums always get that. Brick and mortar ones, digital ones - it's no different. There will always be people who feel threatened by the simple fact that they exist.

Islander, in reply to
Several of my family are actively involved in feminist activities & organisations.
They include medics: several are males. I donate some of my royalties, largish & small, anonymously, to the Women's Refuge movement. I know about the 'people who feel threatened' (*always males or fundamentalists of some stripe of the other*)BUT-
this seems like hate attacks by nobodies - for fun. Which is why I think it is a certain sad class of loser adolescent males...
