The Chronicle, All Up In Our Emerging Tech Business
filed under: Dating 2.0, Sex Hacks, We Are The Sex Media by Melissa Gira
There’s few things I can thank the San Francisco Chronicle for when it comes to increasing the value of the luxe side of my love life. The same could be said for O’Reilly Publishing, copyright-holder apparent to such things 2.0 — just no Sex Hacks there, and not too likely to extend Sexerati a Foo Camp invite any time soon (we’ll just never know what the smart kids do with their Segways come nightfall).
So it was like a love parade, a love commotion, a love-is-no-longer-a-battlefield this morning seeing the Chron’s front page, pointing to a pleasant, possible mashup of the mushiest kind:
Well, then — what do we heart most about Love 2.0 hitting the nigh-mainstream?
Aside from our ongoing coverage of the same since our inception?
Or that, before my morning coffee even had me ambling past a yellow newspaper box (like Bloglines, but it costs a quarter and there’s no del.icio.us links built-in), I had already seen Nick Douglas’s Twitter mock-protest about the Chron’s limp love-rage?
(And, oh! for the days when saying ‘the Chronicle‘ only set my heart a-flutter if it was likely a nod to some juicy thing on teacher/student relations in the Chronicle of Higher Education, and not my now-hometown rag.)
Or maybe it was that I could find an image of a newspaper box with the paper in question (thanks, bovinity!) — even though there’s one right behind me as I write this, I left my camera at my apartment — on Flickr in the number one search result for “Love 2.0″ ?
No, it’s just that we can so immediately, wirelessly, relatively anonymously wish you all the best, bluest, diagonally-lined, user-generated love, ever. Here’s hoping you keep yourself compliant and that your content doesn’t get scraped up too much in the process.
If it does?
Love comes calling with rounded corners today.
Maybe it all won’t hurt so much, now that it’s the future.
