Seven Lions

Unlike the earlier fear that Wikipedia is on the decline, this one seems serious.  Outsourcing bogus Craigslist ads is a staple of sites like Rentacoder, and even with Craigslist experimenting with account verification via phone, it doesn’t seem like it’ll be enough.  Of course, Craigslist has other problems, but it’s this structural one that might kill it.  Imagine a world where every spammer can create a phony ad…

As a note to my fan(s), I’m going to break the triforce and try to maintain my off-the-wall and primarily socially-oriented, web-enabled posting at Seven Lions while donning the Digital Humanities Guy outfit and posting on the more academic stuff over at HASTAC, where I’m a HASTAC Scholar (The pay isn’t so great, but you get low-level membership into the Illuminati, so it’s a career builder).  So if you want to read my critique of current Digital Humanities projects, you’ll have to look here.  If you want to enjoy the occasional reference to whacky singers, game-inspired art and Bughunter, keep your Seven Lions bookmark.

Remember, Gazey the pen-and-ink gazelle is always watching you at Seven Lions.
