Nick Carr wins the annual hypocritical April Fools' Day "Dark Cloud" award
UPDATE (April 2, 2006): It's strange--and oft mentioned--how the most random little posts, the ones you don't think will really draw any attention, suddenly do. Kind of like the room going quiet as you yell, "This guy who writes hypocritical is an a...." Case in point? Nick Carr? Seth Godin? And now, a link from Scoble. Unreal.UPDATE: Now, whether Seth Godin actually stopped by little ol' z-list hypocritical to comment or not could be the basis of a lengthy April Fools' Day discussion in and of itself. But, Nick Carr most definitely did recognize the posting of this award. Practically in real time. Again, strange that this little known and even littler read (apologies to those 3 of you who tune in from time to time) blog would attract such star power on such a random day. But, I'm not complaining. It's probably the pinky Web 2.0 goodness.
And the way Nick phrased it? With that oblique reference to the ouroboros state of blogging? It makes me wonder if he hasn't been a secret fan of hypocritical for quite some time. You be the judge.
ORIGINAL POST
Congratulations to Nick Carr for claiming the April Fools' Day "Dark Cloud" award. He steals the award from last year's winner, Seth Godin, with his brilliant and terse "April Fools Day jumps the shark."
Heaven forbid all these folks having fun. A travesty, to be sure.
