I love this list, Allan. It’s funny. I was clearing out my Jotts and had one that said, “Write a post about how much I hate the term ‘fail.’” It’s angry, and usually makes me really cranky when I read it. Second, I really loathe lolcat speak (only exception: Steve, Zadi, and Kenyatta did a great lolcats presentation at the 2007 PNME).

This was great. I haven’t visited your blog outside of RSS lately, so I’m glad I stopped by for this excellent list!

Cloud computing is actually pretty easy to define. I talked about it over here: http://mashable.com/2008/08/19/cloud-computing-defined/

The simplest way to find out what it means is to look it up online. Wikipedia’s entry is pretty thorough.

Personally, while I’m not done with FAIL, I am done with putting up with trolls on the various social networks I frequent. I used to browse around in a perpetual state of annoyed. I’ve been making liberal use of the block feature lately, and it’s made my life worlds better.

I totally agree with fail, that word sucks.

Add rockstar to the list of banned words for job descriptions.

FTW has got to go

dub dub dub != www, don’t say dub dub dub

I think Wikipedia does a great job of defining cloud computing but I think tech blogs do a terrible job of exercising restraint with the term, and Mashable’s not an exception – the other day one of your authors managed to inject “the cloud” in a byline describing the Adobe Flash plugin…. it’s to make your interaction with “the cloud” more enjoyable!

This is great. I especially liked #4.

I think people posting job offers / ads in general should stop using street / web / LOL slang, or texting speak. period. Post in whole sentences, use proper grammar. Be professional.

I will have to come back to add more. I got a deadline to do.

Nearly done with Doma.in names for startups.
Done with Mormon Facebook rumors.
Totally done with clones of Twitter + “Twitter is down!”.

I can haz is here to stay (limited to cat owners).

Jay, DailyAllen list sounds like a nice format, somewhere between Letterman and Rocketboom :-)

I have no doubt the video is good, but I’d bet there are more than just me that might like the list in text, 9 items take maybe 9 seconds to process and move on for me, and I just would rather not cue up a video for it. Of course I’ve blown my time savings by commenting, but just thought I’d mention it, there are more and more of these.

Nothing against video, but certain data might be nice to copy to text. I wouldn’t mention this if I didn’t care. So few tech blogs palatable enough to read out there :)
