Burning in Suckerdom!
Yes, we at Pocketlint have been given our first public review, from none other than our friendly reviewer Brad at Blogg'd - what are the results you ask? Well, we suck and I for one couldn't be happier.
Blogging doesn't come easy, for the millions of bloggers out there on the world wide web, they will know the time and effort put in to make what we think is a nice blog, we color it and design it and spend countless hours thinking of new topics to captivate our readers, but you know you actually have an audience when you get reviewed. Good or bad, it's nice to know that what has been placed in our blog has had an effect on someone in such a way to form an opinion.
Pocketlint is simply a site designed to rant about everything and anything and that's what we do, we don't have any real purpose other than taking up cyberspace for our own musings, if you like what we have to say, even better, if you don't well that's the way it goes.
I would like to thank Brad for being our first blog reviewer and we shall place his award with pride onto our site.......

i do that too.
if someone says "you suck", then i at least have the pleasure of knowing that they read bullshit that would otherwise be swimming around in my head.

Now that's the way to respond to a bad review. You have to respect someone who can take things in stride.
That is why I made the buttons for Brad's sight. For people who recognize the value of having someone bring their site to the attention of others.

Before anyone thinks I wrote this, I didn't.
I'd actually like to take this opportunity to thank Jack very very much for giving me carte blanche to say whatever I want about whatever I want on here.
I know I've given opinions on here that he doesn't agree with but not once has he tried to censor me and I, for one, fucking appreciate it.
Thank you Mr B for your faith in me.
Sorry we got burned, but like you said to me once, any publicity is good publicity.

I am waiting for Brad and his ilk to put up their own blogs that are so wonderfully written and so well designed that the rest of us will just hang our heads in shame and stop posting.
So far, all I see is a bunch of self annointed critics with all the critical skills of a sixth grader writing in a "slam book"........

Hey LL nice to see you in here. I'm juuuuuuuuuuuuust about to come read up on what you're up to.
Library Lady I loved the John Cleese film. He did an ad for Planters Peanuts here where all he did was chant "Planters Peanuts" continually and if I remember correctly Planters hated the ads but they took off at a rate of knots amongst the consumers.
Guess Planters weren't real Cleese fans. God knows the rest of us got it....

At least your content is your own and not a list of links to others' work, as is true of the majority of blogs. More power to your arm, I say!

Very gracious. Blogging is not for the thin-skinned.

Well, from the few posts I've seen you don't suck! But to each their own. You can't please everyone.
I like your layout too btw. I hate mine, but I'm too lazy to work on making one. (even though I know how, and so does my computer whiz husband)
I can't read the AI post though, I didn't watch the last one on DVR yet. Eek.
Thanks for stopping in, just wanted to check your blog out. I have ya bookmarked now. :o)

I like your blog, screw them if they can't take a joke! If there were no assholes, we wouldn't have to put up with their shit!! Who does this guy think he is?? Some self-important NOBODY who lives a negative life, I think. What the heck credentials does he have?? Maybe just annoying people to death.
BTW,thank you for visiting my blog!
