I could say something cool about how Fine Fools is changing the landscape of problogging (which it isn't...I don't think...maybe it is...is it?), but I can't because I am tired and tired people don't say cool things. They are just too tired. We are cool.

It’s Useless On TotalFark.com

Friday, September 30th, 2025

The first week of Fine Fools is almost up and we finish off with a bang. It’s Useless got linked up by TotalFark.com today. TotalFark is the members area of Fark so the traffic isn’t as immense as it would have been if it was posted on Fark’s homepage, but exciting nonetheless.
So we have links […]

Forums Are Up

Thursday, September 29th, 2025

The Fine Fools Forums.
I made the majority of the forums open to everyone who registers with one section being reserved solely for Writers. Why open up so much for the eyes to see? Well since this whole thing is an experiment/project I think it would be interesting to see how much the involvement of our […]

Insert25 On Joystiq

Wednesday, September 28th, 2025

It took a little more than 48 hours, but the Fine Fools community has received its first link from one of the big dawgs. Bryan Veloso’s article Dancing Disturbances Revealed was such a good read that I thought I would submit it to Joystiq and Kotaku. Brian Ashcraft from Kotaku emailed me soon after with:

This […]

I Like Cameras And The Group Dynamic

Wednesday, September 28th, 2025

More useful is I Like Cameras, the sort of specialized gadget blog that will rise once generic gadget blogs saturate the market.
– Nick Douglas

I Like Cameras was to my surprise the site that has so far received the most applications. There are already four people writing on the site, but that’s not what is so […]

Fine Fools Community - Foolish or Smart?

Tuesday, September 27th, 2025

My buddy and inspirational source Darren Rowse has posted very thought-provoking read on model being offered by the Fine Fools Community. I’m intentionally staying out of this one because I would rather see what other people’s thoughts are without me ruining the conversation so make sure to voice your opinion.
As is the case with Darren’s […]

Writing Standards

Tuesday, September 27th, 2025

I have received more than a few requests to write for the sites in the Community along with some ideas for new ones. Since all of this is new I thought it would be best to start a list of the writing standards that I expect from everyone involved (including myself).
Writing Standards v0.1

Writers will proofread […]

Blogebrity Likes What They See

Monday, September 26th, 2025

I have talked about Nick Douglas and his humorous site Blogebrity before over at the 9rules blog. Even though he probably doesn’t get the recognition he deserves (he really is all over the web and knows what’s going on) I have a great deal of respect for him so I am glad that he has […]

DIC: #25 For “Jenny McCarthy Pees Herself”

Monday, September 26th, 2025

Checked the logs for Damn, I’m Cute and found that someone had found the site with the search term “jenny mccarthy pees herself“. After doing the search myself I was surprised to see that DIC (don’t know if I can keep using that acronym) was ranked #25. I’m sure that won’t last too long and […]

Fine Fools Community Case Study

Monday, September 26th, 2025

When I first brought up the Fine Fools Community last week at Work Boxers I mentioned that I was going to use the sites as case studies. I am going to try my best and chronicle the growth of the community and each site not only for the book, but to also make sure I […]
