Corporate Social Media Life

Shane Life is featured in an EXTENSIVE interview with Whitney Matthews from Spiral 16.

For the record, it's worth remembering the KC With A Russian Accent performed some amazing journalism about the "work" of Spiral 16 in the local blogosphere. Given the data and facts that he uncovered I think it's rather obvious that the company is actively working to destroy Kansas City blogs that posses any authenticity or at the very least create a devious local serfdom where only bloggers who shill for Spiral 16 clients are offered meager freebies. Also, most people claiming to be a "social media experts" are nothing more than hacks selling pseudo science and marketing non-sense language to silly business people who deserve to be ripped off.

Anyhoo . . . Understanding all of this . . . I rather liked Shane's interview with Whitney and it demonstrates how corporations can take every bit of fun and free speech and inspiration out of blogging.

Unfortunately, all of this is not quite as interesting as photos of Lacey Schwimmer at her 21st Birthday Pool Party. Schwimmer could be the most beautiful up and coming corporate shill in the nation with her own line of tube socks that would be exceedingly useful for . . . Forget it.
