Arrrrgh! It's a Day for Swashbuckling in the Blogosphere
First, pirates definitely dominate today, with seven of today's 10 most-cited people in the blogosphere including either the actors or characters in the weekend blockbuster "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest," which is today's No. 4 most-cited blog phrase. And that feat happens amid a sea of poor to so-so revivews, like this LiveJournaler's assessment and another LiveJournaler's hope that the third Pirates movie, due summer 2007, will be better.
Hanging up and quitting
More dust-ups in teh blogosphere: Comedian Adam Carolla is today's burstiest blog person for hanging on up conversative author Ann Coulter during a phone call to his radio show. And elsewhere, an adjunct psychology professor at the University of Arizona has resigned (her "white flag" post is today's most popular blog entry) amid publicity over comments she left on Jeff Goldstein's popular blog, Protein Wisdom. One more reason to control who comments...and who doesn't..on your blog.
Viva Italia!
Could it have been any more nail-bitingly climactic? Italy's penalty kicks after a tie World Cup game gave it the trophy and soccer's worldwide bragging rights on Sunday.
