Comedy site has plug pulled

BBC News | UK | Comedy site has plug pulled

Freeserve pulled the plug because it ” was likely to cause “offence and anxiety”. Given the current legal conditions and ISP’s willingness to shutdown a site rather than deal with the complaints, I vote that we start to complain to ISP’s about stupid websites. No really, I’m offended and aggravated by stupidity, so rather than face the legal challenge forthcoming from my personal anguish in having to deal with stupidity, ISP’s should just pull the plug on any websites that are stupid!

I think we should start with any online journals or webcam sites that contain any sort of wishlist! Because ultimately if you are only publishing to the web for material gain, I don’t really want to hear from you anyway. And the people who do actually buy you stuff are stupid, and your site acts as a repository of stupidity, which, of course, offends me!

OK I’m done ranting…for now!

Linked – How to Leverage Social Media While Attending Conferences
ByMike McBride October 26, 2016October 24, 2016 Reading Time: 1 minute

It’s not easy to build meaningful relationships at conferences. Organizers may try to ease awkward introductions (and 50-foot staredowns) with networking events, and a majority of people at the conference may be interested in networking, but that doesn’t make it easy. You’re surrounded by hundreds, sometimes thousands of people; some are vying for attention, others…

Reading – 3 Tips For Managing Remote Workers
ByMike McBride September 15, 2015September 14, 2015 Reading Time: 1 minute

These are good, and really they are three aspects of the same issue, communication. As a remote worker myself for the last few years, it is incredibly easy to feel cut off from the rest of the organization unless everyone involved makes a concerted effort to communicate. This goes double, triple, or more, if the…

Linked – Why I Wouldn’t Take Google’s Depression Test
ByMike McBride September 4, 2017October 15, 2023 Reading Time: 1 minute

I agree, I love the idea of making screening tests available, but I’m not comfortable with a marketing company that already knows so much about us through our search and browsing habits being able to put that together with the answers to the test. Here’s the thing… Depression screening tests — like the PHQ-9 that…

Linked: L&D’s Role in Attracting Top Talent
ByMike McBride May 24, 2022May 24, 2022 Reading Time: 1 minute

The folks from this survey understand two things.

1. The skills they have today won’t be enough to be successful tomorrow. Technology is changing the work we do at an ever-increasing clip. If they are in a job that isn’t keeping pace, or giving them the opportunity to keep pace, it’s going to end badly for them.

2. If an organization isn’t recognizing the need for their talent to continuously learn it is not only offering a job without the kind of future they are seeking, but it’s probably not offering itself the kind of future it needs. People see this. Your top people know it’s true. They see a sinking ship long before you do. A ship that keeps doing what it’s always done without growing and adapting to change is sinking. Maybe not today, or the next year, but eventually, they know.
