Emily Gould Exposed

That New York Times Magazine cover story on the perils of online self-exposure is up online-and itself exposed to a still wider audience of gawkers. Oops, as author Emily Gould might say. There isn't much that hasn't already been discussed on this site or on the newspaper's own discussion board. But there's an adorable new photo. If you can't be bothered to read the text-which has already been blogged, commented and rehashed to the point of absurdity-Daily Intel's statisticians have quantified the narcissism in an easy-to-digest table.

"I am watching as the blogging world crucifies me," TechCrunch editor Michael Arrington writes, after he didn't attend a Las Vegas conference where he'd been advertised as a star panelist. Crucifies? Mike, rent a copy of The Passion of the Christ before you, like John Lennon, reach for that self-aggrandizing metaphor again. And if you think your fellow bloggers hate you now, wait'll they find out you've been invited to Davos. Elsewhere over the weekend, funtrepreneur Jason Calacanis got himself booted from the insidery Gillmor Gang podcast. No, we don't listen to it either. But we did play the you're-fired phone call Calacanis posted to his Twitter page. Mental note: Calacanis records his calls.
