Call For Submissions: Now Their Stories Can Be Told
Media Bureau. CPCN. Phillymusic.com. Dummytown. Brainsoap. CDNow. Maybe these words and phrases mean something to you. Or perhaps, ten years ago (or more), you were in Philadelphia, embarking on your own journey through this bold and new thing called The Internet. Got a story to tell? A long-forgotten favorite site? Or perhaps your own failed startup that only now, says your therapist, you can reflect on with any clarity whatsoever? We want to hear from you, today. Because all next week, we’ll be doing posts on the story of the Internet here in Philly. The forgotten corners. The now-quaint victories. The hilarious pratfalls. If you’ve got a story you’d like to tell on Philebrity about The History Of The Internet In Philadelphia, send it (along with a relevant picture or screengrab) to tips[at]philebrity[dot]com with “PHILLY INTERNET HISTORY WEEK” in the subject header. At last, history beckons you. And this time, it’s not necessarily written by the winners.

Can we get a Rashomon like account of the sweeney/phawker phall out?

The operative word here is “history,” Cheese. We’re still terrorizing The Cut And Paste King. Just slashed his ties and put sugar in his gas tank last night, as a matter of fact.

re: “We’re still terrorizing The Cut And Paste King.”
um, Phawker scooped you today with an anonymous source reporting a new round of layoffs (35 people) at the Inquirer/Daily News.

I remember A.D. Amorosi being a contributer, not that he necessarily knows anything.
