Trust me, that makes up for a lot in my book. Heather Armstrong is one of my favorite bloggers too. I think her dog is made out of clay. I found her while ego surfing. I decided at that point to consider that there were many fascinating people named Heather Hamilton because it simply could not be a coincidence ; ) OK, so the "scoble-ized" thing exists. I've definitely seen it used. It comes with blog trolls though. I don't covet his audience. Hey, if the PC versus Mac war gets too hot in your household, we are going to get Team Shannon t-shirts. Not to add to the war but how about this: "mac'ed"- referring to the fact that your computer came in a pretty color as a "feature" Ahh, I shouldn't joke. I actually think that Apple is genius with the consumer advertisements (though I still think the mac guy looks smelly...their target audience must be OK with that...I'm old). And I do own an iPod.

“mac’ed”- referring to the fact that your computer came in a pretty color as a “feature”

Heather Armstrong is one of my favorite bloggers. Maybe antonym isn't the right descriptor. I was trying to relate being 'dooced' (losing your job because of your blog) to being 'myspaced' (not even being considered for a job because of your myspace page). I guess they are somewhat synonymous actually - Did I mention that I am not a good writer? ;-). The opposites I was going for were the currently employed vs. looking to be employed job candidates. Those of us in the recruitosphere wouldn't want to be dooced for our blogs - just as candidates don't want to lose out of opportunities due to their myspace pages. I saw other funny Microsoft related ones (hey - you know I am a happy MS using PC girl): <ul> <li>"Microsofted" - attacked by numerous bugs and being turned off w/o any reason</li> <li>"Scoblized" - Getting a link from the Scoblizer blog to your blog --and watching traffic soar</li> </ul> Certainly not looking to start a PC vs. Mac war - but here's my answer: <ul> <li>"Mac'ed" - Losing all control when using your computer (when you can't figure out how to shut anything down you've been mac'ed)</li> </ul> - LOL - Hey Heather H.

I saw other funny Microsoft related ones (hey – you know I am a happy MS using PC girl):

  • “Microsofted” – attacked by numerous bugs and being turned off w/o any reason
  • “Scoblized” – Getting a link from the Scoblizer blog to your blog –and watching traffic soar

Certainly not looking to start a PC vs. Mac war – but here’s my answer:

  • “Mac’ed” – Losing all control when using your computer (when you can’t figure out how to shut anything down you’ve been mac’ed)

- LOL -

Heather Armstrong (nee Hamilton, but not me) was fired for stuff she posted on her blog. Did we really lose net street cred when Scoble left? I know a lot of people that would disagree. I guess it depends on your view of his role and whether or not you liked him (kind of a blunt way to put it but some have speculated that his blogging was more about Scoble than Microsoft). I think the jury is still out on that one, but I'm sure we all have our own opinions on that. I sure hope that doesn't become a verb. : ) I don’t think dooced is an antonym to the “MySpaced” definition. Heather Armstrong (nee Hamilton, but not me) was fired for stuff she posted on her blog.
