< BACK TO Fresh Intelligence Julia Allison Wins The Internet
A bold challenge indeed! But does it? After a close and careful review, we can confidently declare NonSociety to be the greatest thing ever to launch on the Internet to date. Not since Elizabeth Spiers and Nick Denton pooled their mighty creative talents to create Gawker has a platform arrived on the web so fully-formed, complete, and in keeping with its mission. It's not an understatement when we say that Nonsociety will very likely change the way all of us—and that includes generations yet unborn—look at the web, the world, and ourselves. And we're very serious and sincere about that. Disagree? We want to hear from you. First, refresh this page and read every word we wrote over again. Next, leave your own opinion in the comments. Then refresh the page again, just to make sure the comment took. Sometimes it will appear as if your comment is there, but that's actually a technical illusion, so don't feel strange about re-entering your comment and then refreshing the page once again just to make sure. Finally, navigate away from Radar, come back, and click on this item again, so you can guarantee that your voice has been heard. And check back over the next few days and hours—refreshing the page at least two or three times each time—to see how the conversation is progressing. If we know the Internet, and we think we do, we're pretty sure that this new project will meet with almost universal appeal. Why don't you refresh right now, just in case!
Alex, I couldn't agree with you more. So blown away by the concept, not to mention the execution, I'm still trying to get back up on my horse! You go, gals. Posted by: Paladin on July 14, 2008 3:33 PM Crazy, wonderful, magical stuff. So chuffed, I sailed round the world to my old commenter name on a different browser to spread the news. Julia, can we Twitter? Posted by: sailor on July 14, 2008 3:35 PM Some folks have written to say that NonSociety seems to be down. I recommend refreshing this page and clicking to the link to it again. If that doesn't work, just keep refreshing. It's totally worth it. Posted by: Balk on July 14, 2008 4:02 PM I dutifully made this page my Internet Explorer homepage just so I can make sure that months from now I won't miss out on any of the discussion! There's so much to say about it that I'm having trouble organizing my thoughts in a horizontal fashion! Please keep up the great coverage of this Breaking News. Posted by: katiebakes on July 14, 2008 4:20 PM Advertisement Hello? Is this thing on? Posted by: moneycashhos on July 14, 2008 4:39 PM I will be happy to click away for you Balk, but you gotta do me better than loving up Nonsociety like this. I lost the remaining iq points that my advanced prion disease has left unsavaged until now looking at the horrid mess. I dunie hs abilitee to tyojkn,fdm'sf anymirs slfmdop, jbai. kl,mfepi0k (falls over in drooling mess). Posted by: Judycats on July 14, 2008 5:01 PM Is this where I'm supposed to storm around and scream and hurl exclamation points and talk about how I have tits and like bourbon? Is is? Ah good, I've made it to the right place - boy, am I ever embarrassed about what just happened over at RAP Realtime Weather. Posted by: jolie on July 14, 2008 5:11 PM One exclamation mark per comment, please. But feel free to use lots of exclamation marks. Posted by: Balk on July 14, 2008 5:53 PM I knew I set up a commenter account months ago for a reason. Posted by: sansraisins on July 14, 2008 6:26 PM Julia writes her name all slasher clown face while Mary's is crazy pointy elbows. Posted by: raisedbyqolves on July 14, 2008 6:31 PM Oh Christ, you know what I have to do here, right? Here we go, Balk. Brace yourself. Posted by: jolie on July 14, 2008 7:43 PM !

Posted by: jolie on July 14, 2008 7:55 PM (But I won't because, oh man - this is boring!) Posted by: jolie on July 14, 2008 7:57 PM I received my 401K statement today. Sure, my network is declining bigtime, but my web utility just spiked! I am so winning the game of life! Please, let NonSociety survive through my retirement; I may be eating dogfood but I'll be entertained to the grave. I just refreshed 11 times. Posted by: NotAndersonCooper on July 14, 2008 10:17 PM And I haven't even listened to Mary yet. Posted by: NotAndersonCooper on July 14, 2008 10:18 PM Oh Man, That Mary is foulmouthed. Refreshingly foul! Posted by: NotAndersonCooper on July 14, 2008 10:20 PM I'm eating cookies for dinner. Posted by: NotAndersonCooper on July 14, 2008 10:23 PM Chocolate Cookies! Posted by: NotAndersonCooper on July 14, 2008 10:24 PM Marx Brothers on TV. Posted by: NotAndersonCooper on July 14, 2008 10:24 PM I hate Harpo. Posted by: NotAndersonCooper on July 14, 2008 10:25 PM Downloading I-tunes now. Posted by: NotAndersonCooper on July 14, 2008 10:25 PM What's on RedTube? Posted by: NotAndersonCooper on July 14, 2008 10:26 PM Oh My! Posted by: NotAndersonCooper on July 14, 2008 10:26 PM Gasp, I am well into some beer now, and have recovered from the pools of drool. But! For some reason, as a foul mouth myself, I have always found it so weird that Jackles and Rambles are such foul mouths when the cameras are rolling. Like all the time. Is that weird? Posted by: Judycats on July 14, 2008 10:32 PM Is that weird? Is it? Posted by: Judycats on July 14, 2008 10:32 PM Hm?? Posted by: Judycats on July 14, 2008 10:32 PM I am just wondering. Posted by: Judycats on July 14, 2008 10:32 PM Oh. What was I saying? Posted by: Judycats on July 14, 2008 10:33 PM I forgot what I was doing. Posted by: Judycats on July 14, 2008 10:33 PM Where am I again? Posted by: Judycats on July 14, 2008 10:34 PM [THONK] [drools] [ZZZZZzzzzzz] Posted by: Judycats on July 14, 2008 10:34 PM La Marseillaise is cool. "Contre nous de la tyrannie" Posted by: NotAndersonCooper on July 14, 2008 10:35 PM I was never that fond of people who sit around made up, yet barefoot and wearing an approximation of fancy pajamas. Like Ellie May finally cashed one of the fucking checks. Devoid of any "content," I'm inclined to think it's a joke and left wondering who/which sucks more: me, her, or her "site"? Posted by: worst_1_yet on July 14, 2008 10:41 PM You know how in the summer if your window's open, you sometimes hear the phone ring and it turns out it's your neighbor's. That just totally happenned to me. Same Ring!! Posted by: NotAndersonCooper on July 14, 2008 10:42 PM How come I don't have a radar profile? Can I get one? Will there be parties? Posted by: NotAndersonCooper on July 14, 2008 10:47 PM this is like foxymorons without the foxy. Posted by: slinkimalinki on July 14, 2008 11:24 PM sorry, that shouldn't have been a ".", it should have been a "!" Posted by: slinkimalinki on July 14, 2008 11:27 PM My participation in this online dialogue usually only extends to registering my approval by "Recommend(ing) It" to other readers. But this exceptional case compels me to make a comment about this post. Normally, before hitting the "Submit" button, I'd just cross my fingers hoping this comment would show up. But there's no such pressure this time because if it isn't displayed I'll just refresh the page and try again; I'm determined to voice my opinion. Posted by: Alanis Morissette on July 14, 2008 11:58 PM All are welcome! Please, continue! Posted by: Balk on July 15, 2008 5:37 AM You know your holiday's over when you are commenting on your work website at 5.37AM..... Posted by: Talie on July 15, 2008 6:41 AM Julia Allison's new blog makes me wish I had running sores all over my body so I could rub them up against the screen of my PC while looking at the site. If you'll now excuse me, I'm going to go out and search under the highway overpasses in my city until I find some vermin-infested indigents who will have sex with me so I can get infected with something that will give me running sores so I can rub them all over Julia's face on my computer screen. And I mean that kindly. Posted by: SarahHeartburn on July 15, 2008 6:55 AM @Talie: You don't know the HALF of it. Posted by: Balk on July 15, 2008 7:13 AM Good morning! Happy to see everyone here, but please - mind the rules, only one exclamation point per comment. This is for your safety; our gamekeeper, he's a malignant bastard. Posted by: jolie on July 15, 2008 8:03 AM Only the tumors! Posted by: Balk on July 15, 2008 8:22 AM @Jolie: Posted by: NotAndersonCooper on July 15, 2008 8:34 AM @Balk Yeah sorry about that. Makes dolphin inspired arousal seem insignificant I'm sure. Posted by: Talie on July 15, 2008 8:48 AM I just wish people wouldn't blame the dolphins. It's not their fault that they're so damn attractive. Posted by: Balk on July 15, 2008 9:23 AM I, too, have a crush on Garo Yepremian. He once made a pass at me. Oh. ! ? Posted by: KarenUhOh on July 15, 2008 9:34 AM I beg to differ...they're absolutely asking for it. Posted by: Talie on July 15, 2008 9:36 AM @Balk: It was a reference to The Sopranos. Don't make me stand outside your office with a boombox blasting "Don't Stop Believing" pallie. ! Posted by: jolie on July 15, 2008 9:48 AM Is is the weekend yet? cause goddammit, these girls make me feel like the weekend. One of those special weekends - when I sleep late, sip Yuban and stare off into the xanax. Posted by: NotAndersonCooper on July 15, 2008 9:56 AM Life just got perfect. Wait, now it's over. Less than perfect, but still okay. Gonna go watch me some Vimeo now! Girl Vimeo! Posted by: NotAndersonCooper on July 15, 2008 9:59 AM |
