A hot eruption of Bitchmeme has happened over the past few days starting when TechCrunch wrote a story about Last.fm sending its listener data to the RIAA supposedly to find out what naughty children had obtained the new U2 album early.

<rant> Allen Stern wrote a nice, concise rant about Friendfeed today, where he argues that FF still has to fix a lot of usability issues before it can ever go mainstream. I mostly agree with Allen, but I think that FF’s real issue goes far deeper than just usability.   Sadly, being a bi...

People love to bitch about Techmeme — in fact, it’s one of the top Bitchmeme topics. More often than not, the root cause of the bitching is a story they think should be a Techmeme headline. Well guess what, now instead of writing a post bitching about bias, you can submit your suggested ...

Ah the holiday. The spirit, the joy, the Bitchmemes. I haven't written up any Bitchmemes in a while, mostly because I'm too busy but also because it seems like there haven't been a lot -- at least not like last year at this time. But we're in a very different world this year -- times are tough, the ...
