Halloween is over, so laugh at GOTHS IN HOT WEATHER

Goth BootsNow that Halloween is really over, Web Watch encourages everyone to take the time to laugh at those who still feel the need to rebel against society and dress in goth in their everyday lives during the most inopportune moment: in the heat of the day.

Everyone knows that dressing goth is best done in the cool of the night, preferably in the winter months when the extra layers provide appropriate protection from the weather.

Except for these folks – the GOTHS IN HOT WEATHER.

All the good book ideas are taken: F* This Website

F* THE WORLDWeb Watch never tires of pointing out all the websites that have been able to profit by turning their online diatribes into massive book deals. The only issue we have is that we didn’t think of any of these ideas first.

These deals do prove one thing – that while having a great Internet-based idea is fine, the real money is still in traditional media, whether it be in books, TV, or movies.  You’ve seen Will Ferrell’s FUNNY OR DIE website?  It has its own HBO production deal, because being online only apparently wasn’t good enough for them.

November is National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo, for short)

legal padAs we’ve covered in Web Watch in previous years, November is NATIONAL NOVEL WRITING MONTH, otherwise known as NaNoWriMo.

If you’ve had a hankering to get the Great American Novel written, but have had the most massive case of writer’s block ever seen, then NaNoWriMo is for you – because the only way to get out of writer’s block is to just start writing.

How To Get Rid of Unwanted Books: Sell them Online!

bookshopIf you are like Web Watch, you probably have shelf upon shelf of books all around the house.

Books stacked in corners, piled away in boxes, placed on nightstands.

Books are good things to have around… but sometimes you end up with tons of books that you just don’t need anymore.  Maybe you’ve outgrown them, maybe you just don’t need to keep that series of Tom Clancy novels “just in case” you decide to read them again.

Sure you could sell them for $0.25 each at a neighborhood garage sale (if you’re lucky enough to get that much for them), or you could donate the books to a local library or assisted-living facility.

But Web Watch has a better idea:  try selling your books online.

Paul Dickson: Drunk Writer

Drunk: The Definitive DictionaryPAUL DICKSON KNOWS A THING OR TWO ABOUT BEING DRUNK.

He knows the difference between being “blotto” and simply being “in the weeds”.

He’s run the gamut from “Feng schwasted” to “eating dirt”.

No, he hasn’t actually been that drunk… at least, not as far as Web Watch is aware of… but Paul Dickson can say that he has written the authoritative book on the subject with DRUNK: THE DEFINITIVE DICTIONARY, listing 2,964 different terms for being wasted out of your mind on wine, beer, or liquor.

Facts Behind the Social Media Revolution

Web Watch hopes that sometime over the past month, you have seen this video, entitled SOCIAL MEDIA REVOLUTION, asking if social media (such as Twitter or Facebook) or other electronic transactions are here to stay, or just a fad.

Looking at the statistics we saw earlier, Twitter is still bordering on fad.

If you haven’t seen it, or simply want to watch it again, here it is:
