Legal action, another gender change, a new store and more!

the Cafe

What a busy week!

While he prefers “illegal” action,” Allan’s been threatened with “legal action” by Melanie Tannenbaum, a WikiBios user (we discussed WikiBios in Chat# 11), after posting about WikiBios on Desirable Roasted Coffee. Allan and I agree WikiBios is still a bad idea & just getting worse. And we believe a lot of Web 2.0 “social networking” sites are inherently rife with liability issues.

Myself, having been smitten by Second Life, I’ve transgendered again. Now completely asexual, I have set Allan and I up on the Podcast Island of Second Life. We are just two doors down from For Immediate Release (a podcast you should listen to, if you have time after ours), and our furnishings are much, much better (Allan is still stranded on Help Island – though help is to be had from C.C. Chapman).

The Better Desirable Roasted Communications Cafe has a store! Tee-shirts (our logo is too big for skimpier garments; anyway, thongs are so last night) and coffee mugs. We aim to have a Very Large Crude Carrier line out next year.

Paull Young audio comments, and Luke Armour writes kind words about us on his blog.

Finally, Allan had a nice experience with social media this week. Through the generosity of Giornale Nuovo‘s “Mr. H,” who periodically culls his library for the benefit of readers, he received The Writings of John Evelyn in the mail and is happy.

What do you think? Agree with us? Disagree? Drop your comments on this post, or send a Waxmail to ‘comments at commscafe dot com’.

Download [11mb] and take a 21 minute coffee break with Allan and myself. And don’t forget to subscribe to the RSS feed to catch every sparkling discussion as we pass the coffee pot around. And if you are an iTunes user, you can find our podcast on the iTunes Music Store (for free, of course!).

Let’s tag this baby!
