Shoutwire - stiring up racial problems?

[Phynder]

ShoutWire really seem to want to stir up something with a recent editorial:

Am I the only one that find this a little backwards?

[yfs1]

I suspect that will be removed (although its been up 6 hours)

There are so many things wrong with that the least of which being the tag at the end

With a name like January, anything's possible; he must have been teased a lot as a kid since it sounds like the name of a female stripper or porn star. Hopefully those big, gay jail bullies find his name to be sexy.

An Ohio negro

Haven't read that term in forever lol

Hopefully those big, gay jail bullies find his name to be sexy.

Who wrote that?

I doubt it will be removed - it was written by one of the ShoutWire staff... Creeepy...

[Mister Tut]

The comments on that remind me of the worst parts of slashdot. Ugh.

They are pathetic

[Blogmaster]

That is by the same people going into webmaster forums and attacking us for our stories submitted, seems like shoutwire is just a bunch of clowns who accidentally came up with something popular.

[Shoemoney]

shoutwire is teh lame. The could embrace the community and grow but instead they have become somewhat arrogant.... its to bad cause its a good idea. (non tech digg)

Perhaps somebody else could do it right? Nudge nudge - wink wink...

[Blogmaster]

I'm not surprised after one of their employees came into DP calling us assholes and scam artists. The way they are communicating is on the least professional level I have ever seen an organization of their popularity do.

[Mister Tut]

They need to sell out to a major and get out of running the site themselves. Who just bought Del.icio.us?

[Blogmaster]

Yahoo! did, and I agree, they are too big for they own capacities right now (intellectually speaking)

So far its one guy's opinion though.

[Blogmaster]

true, but they are all representing SW.

[FeedBucket]

Was looking at Shoutwire after I airballed a post at Digg and was looking for alternatives. Good grief, what a bunch of juveniles. Not surprising that these guys are associated with the w@r3z sk3n3.

[Blogmaster]

They're a bunch of kids who have had the energy to get it started, but now that they are up there, they don't have the skills or experience to use it right

Precisely why I own pligg.org

[Blogmaster]

Actually, I have just seen this http://pligg.com/story.php?id=95
in the top results for the keyterm of that contest.

[digimania]

Well, looks like a poor editorial job to me.

[INV]

He addressed the issue and I completly agree with him. I also didnt see any problems in the article originally except childish remarks in the end.
