gripe 1 - from Jonathan Lethem: His open letter to Frank Gehry in Salon about the tiny buildings he is planning for our neighborhood.
gripe 2 - I'm involved in a dispute with the buyer, or rather non-buyer because he "forgot he bid", of a bike I sold on e-bay. As a NYer I don't relate well to "oops, my bad" school of non-apologies. It's my first bad experience so far on the site and hopefully their unpaid item process will make everything work out. How does this relate to social media you ask - well it doesn't in a strict sense but it does make me think of the images of politicians kids getting drunk and partying that Wonkette keeps finding on facebook and myspace. It is rather amazing. Oops Dad,my bad, did I screw up your campaign?
