Exactly, as a Journalism student, I was taught never to mention myself in the things I write for print. If this writer wasn't so lazy, she could have easily hunted down several people other than herself who have suffered under the the tyranny of google. Instead, she got to talk about herself.
Ouch, guys, ouch. I've been a member of Mefi for a while, but I also like Monkeyfilter. I used to like politics on Mefi and now I've really soured to it. Some of you bring up some interesting points, and, if you do end up joining Mefi, just don't post political posts.
I came for the hot women (though I swear I thought I had signed up when Mofi started)...
Also, I dream of becoming a Mofi star, maybe the proverbial Dairy State Dreamboat, or something to that effect.
