World’s Worst Person? Really???? (2)
He’s cocky, yes, but is he really the “worst person in the world”, as proclaimed by gawker.com? John Fitzgerald was looking for love on match.com, but with one arrogant email, he landed in the same category as Osama Bin Laden, Jeffrey Dahmer and that guy who went for the foul ball in Chicago and cost them a trip to the World Series. His story shows that in an online world, your private communications could easily become tomorrow’s water cooler topic. After a wink, an email and a rejection, John Fitzgerald responded with an email that touted his ivy league education, his 14 feature film appearances, his high level of fitness and insinuated that anyone should be so lucky to date him. Her response? Post his email on gawker.com, which earned him his dubious title, led to a barrage of harassing emails, caused people to remove him as their “friend” online, and generally make him look like an ass in front of the world. Hmmmm, kinda hard to tell who the “worst” person is in this story. But, reminds us all to be careful in that big online world out there!

Yahoo ships the web’s largest play button (2)
Yahoo has relaunched their video product with a few changes. Aside from the mammoth-sized play button (one of my favorite parts), users can now upload video files that are up to 150MB. Take that YouTube! YouTube is at 100 MB which in my estimation is 8 minute abs versus Yahoo’s 7 minute abs - BOOYA! There’s also a healthy 16:9 viewer, embeddable playlists and a few enhancements to profiles. One slightly annoying thing is when you visit one of their ‘Networks’ (Yahoo News, Sports, Music, etc) a pre-roll ad auto plays and there’s no way to stop or pause. I understand they need to make some dough on these pages but locking people out of being able to stop video/audio is a bad move. High marks on the rest of the user experience and usability.
