    Oh, lets see. I would like RAPLEAF to fall of the face of the planet. I am sick and tired of those turkeyheads scraping all the social sites with their snooper software and aggregating all of us by email address. They're overriding our profile security settings on some of those places and they shouldn't be allowed to exist another year! How'd they like it if we got ahold of their personal and private emails start seeing where they hang out


    I would also like ebay to please just trademark ebay beta because I am sick to death of being in an 18 month long beta search test. It's called a sandbox for cripes sack. Sandbox, not live site. I'm 10 inches tall and even I know this

    "ends whenever we feel like it"

    It ends when Pete stops coming up with these outrageous contests.

    I don't know why, but mashable has become a hard blog to troll. I agree with practically everything Mark writes, and fortunately he's the main poster.

    Now TechCrunch, that's another story. I don't know if anyone saw the controversial article about digg comments, suggesting they should be censored, but there was some MAJOR trolling going on.
  • Elf · 2 years ago
    Gosh more dumb comments on mashable... :(
  • Richard · 2 years ago
    Seriously Pete, how desperate are you? Not enough readers? Not enough click-throughs? Provide quality content, and you won't have to run a troll-contest every second week for people to actually comment.

    Churning out rewritten press-releases just doesn't cut it (as you would, incidentally, a turkey).

    You'll never get real trolls to grace these pages, because there's no reason to troll on content nobody really gives a toss about (especially when it reads like it's been puked into a text-editor by a toddler).

    Why not ask Santa Claus to get you a real job?
  • OhBoy! · 2 years ago
    Nice troll. :)

    Yo man how does the graphics for Mashable? You 3 year old daughter? Get a real designer to create some real art and not something that looks like it come from paint by geeks.

    As if ...

    As if anyone cared about what Plaxo does in the first place, let alone on OpenSocial. Let's see, who's on OpenSocial? Oh, yes, Google and Myspace. Oh, okay. Credit there. But the rest are all has-beens, loser turkeys or wannabes with an inferiority complex to, let's face it, Facebook.

    Sort of like, let's face it, Mashable and TechCrunch.

    Okay, except that Cashmore isn't as much of a jerk as Arrington.

    As far as I know.
    Anyway, spare us the OpenSocial and can we please just get back to, oh, ClosedPrivate or WhoCares?

    I am detecting a troll fetish here. You solicit trolls, you have a freaky troll emblem to try and attract them, and then you choose a freaky potato troll logo for your shirts. Seriously, what's with that? Your CEO have a lime green quaff and giant bulging lemur eyes? Used to live under a bridge?

    Look, I copied and pasted my thoughts, just like a real Mashable writer!

    There once was a troll from Turkey
    Who thought Mashable was like beef jerky
    He'd bite and he'd chew
    For an hour or two
    Little nutrition with a taste that was quirky

    The troll was amazed
    At the articles they raised
    To the top of the digital heap
    He realized as he read
    He could make much more bread
    Writing shlock that puts people to sleep!

    Such is the internet.

    Here is a post ASKING to be trolled as you faggots can't generate enough attention to sufficiently suckle your moderator's inflated nigger dicks.

    Not only that, but you offer a 100 dollar worthless as shit prize for crap I can easily torrent for free? Besides that, itunes is worthless to begin with. Only witless shiavo-esque fuck faces would resort to attempt to win something for a retarded product, assuming you monotonous sheep all use ipods, naturally.

    I hope you enjoy your AIDS, you turkey gnob-gobbling fuck fences.

  • Gecko Rock · 2 years ago
    Chuh! Puh-leeze! As if you turkeys could even judge a spelling contest at an alphabet soup slurp-off, you bunch o' half-wits. You must be desperate to be trolling for comments like this. To even think you could judge a troll is laughable, when you can't even recognize yourself in the mirror.
  • gareth · 2 years ago
    To Alyssa: "Stumbleupon traffic is tough to convert and it has a fairly bad interface for managing campaigns"

    Uh...either this is the troll of the decade or allysa should stay off the troll-ade.

    I was so lost by that comment i think i might still wasted from last night...or did that just bring back that all encompassing sense of fear, desire and hiccups.

    As for the prizes, you could ******* sponsor a troll for the amount of corporate press ups that series of gifts provides.

    Cash Please.

  • EmperorChow · 2 years ago
    Why the hell is the bonus word turkey? I hate fucking turkey, thanksgiving has passed and the turkey seriously does not represent any denominational winter holiday I know. I'm disappointed in you Mashable. I'm never visiting your site ever again.

    god damn it, fucking turkey.
  • NeoLobster · 2 years ago
    I only recently stumbled onto your web site from some stupid javascript date library link that a soon-to-be-ex friend of mine sent me... I have to say, this is totally lame. What is this site anyway? A blog for wannabe-script-kiddie hackers? Where's the free porn? How the HELL do you expect to get readers without the giant words "FREE PORN" glowing... No... MARQUEEing across the screen. I've counted no fewer than TEN ads on this page, not including the text "Ads by Google," which is itself an ad. With all that advertising revenue, do you think you could spare some free porn? Guess not.

    Fuck you, fuck this web site, and fuck EmperorChow. "Whine whine whine turkey whine whine whine!!11oneoneone AM I TROLLING YET? I got you real good." Go throw some soap in my coffee, EmperorFARVA.

    I hope whoever won the prize uses it to buy the rest of the visitors FREE PORN. I will only return if I am promised "Big Busty Babes - Ads by Google!" Until then, stick your gift card up your ass. Who wants to win the chance to buy shit anyway?

    Do the world a favor. Redirect your domain to a parking page... One with FREE PORN on it.

  • Ron in New Orleans · 2 years ago
    Here's my problem, guys. Recently at my doc's suggestion I was circumsized. The foreskin was simply to tight over my head when I had an erection, and it was painful. I've now been 'cut' for about three months and have continued jelqing with hopes that I can grow this penis to some reasonable size. Not having the foreskin is a new experience, but jelqing as much as I must do for ANYTHING to happen worries me, since the head is continuously stimulated either being rubbed in my pants, or even having to urinate. Sometimes I don't mean to have an orgasm, but even walking the dog can get me to cream in my pants. What a mess that is! After a few hours of jelqing every day and evenings, I've developed some kind of weird fluid that comes out of my cock slit, mostly clear, but not the precum I'd have before the operation. And this doesn't seem to stop even when I put the penis away for the night. In the mornings I find a very nasty crust around the opening, and along with this, my testicles have somehow pulled up into my smaller than normal scrotum. I have to get up and clean the bed sheets, the penis opening and try to massage the balls back down into a normal position. Along with all of this, I've developed some kind of gas/stomach problems, probably nerves, and during jelqing sessions, I start farting, and this makes me laugh (cannot help this!!! it's just funny, all of this going on at the same time) and that explosion of gas, the laughter and the strange fluid becomes too painful. You can only imagine what happens when I decided to 'ride the rapids' and shoot the rocks!!! It's about as exciting as a sneeze, these orgasms. My doctor just says "Keep up with heavier stroking, and try to have at least three orgasms per jelqing session". I tell him that jelqing isn't part of the program, and he usually answers "Just do it for the release and pleasure". I'm a wreck. PLEASE, if any of you have had the same experience, write me here. Thanks in advance. It's about time to now get back to jelqing! Thanks

    Hey Folks

    Some Seasonal Fun, Ho Ho Ho, He He He...
    ===========================
    A Facebook application called Advent Calendar (one of a handful) had put itself up for sale on eBay last week, but hasn’t gotten more than $7,099 by the final bidding time. That wasn’t enough to meet the reserve, and gives a rather dismal outlook to the overall value of Facebook apps. While there has been a lot of interest in Facebook’s platform and the subsequent applications on the investment end, no applications have seemed to fetch a large acquisition price.
    This seems to be for several reasons, most of which seem to be associated with the current market. But I don’t really have to state the obvious when it comes to this particular Advent Calendar application that’s been put up for sale–how do you monetize such an application that can only be used for 24 days of the year?
    Nevertheless, this is the second company in the past week to seek a buyout in time for the holidays. DivShare has kept the details of its “for sale” status pretty under wraps, but a lot of speculation regarding its selling potential has been swirling around as well. But when it comes to the Advent Calendar application, it’s a rather unique situation, considering the newness of applications, the “market” and the rest of the world joining in on the open bandwagon.

    REFERENCE: http://mashable.com/2007/11/26/advent-calendar-...
    ================

    So, the hot quip for the coming week is! Oh Santa's not coming to town, Oh Santa's not coming to town, for the Advent of commercialism is falling down!

    Look at all these SAD retarded, amateur trollers. They all jump like monkeys on the one blog that spells out the rules but they go into a coma regarding every blog thereafter.

    Hey, at least I read the rules - it wasn't based on ONE comment. You guys should provide some kind of a live companion for these invalids when they're logged in.

    If any of you moronic waste dwellers had the now rare common sense you would not screw around on this technical spew of crap. I don't qualify as I am a very bored person with ample time for now, until the toilet elves pull me into the world of nautically boring crap almost like purgatory--I won't go to Florida--But seriously how many of you are over 30, don't you have other things to do, like work! I will not suggest reading something,most of you will forget everything you know in a matter of years.
