Speculationland on social networking

April 20th, 2006 · Comments Off

Now I most certainly don’t know anything about this particular story, but after commenting to a pal on IM this morning about how some of us bloggers would get slapped around for posting something like this, even if it were 100% for real, and then I came across this teaser from Tim Mullaney over at […]
