Jimmy Gardner
June 14, 2008
Jimmy is the editor of East Coast Blogging. He somehow thinks that if he talks about DC long enough, he’ll actually be a part of it. Funny how people do this. He lives in Frederick, MD an hour north of DC!
Jimmy has a tendency to attend every social media event he can. He calls it networking. I call it pimping MyDropBin. And it uses Amazon S3. Who does that?!
He also has a bad tendency to send emails to everyone in his address book when he publishes an article.
Jimmy, you are definitely a pain in the ass.

Stefania Butler
June 13, 2008
Stefania Butler is the brains behind MOMocrats and kind of liberal. By kind of mean extreme. I mean she “rages against McCain” (her words, not mine - it’s her tagline) and calls Ann Coulter and Michelle Malkin idiots. Not that we’re arguing. Michelle Malkin is also a P.I.T.A.B.
Stefania is a Pain in the Ass because her blog will cease to have a purpose after the November elections at which point, we’ll have to deal with her blatherings elsewhere on the intertubes.

Loic Lemeur
June 13, 2008
Loic Lemeur is the founder of Seesmic and he gets on this list because he’s French.
It’s widely known that people in France hate non-French people trying to speak French. I dunno, something about it being a pure language and leaving it undefiled.
So, of course, Mr. Lemeur came to the United States and is doing his best rendition of English. Meh. He definitely gets on the list for pronouncing “the” as “ze”.
(Of course, Loic tends to take things more seriously than others too, so I hope he knows this whole site is a joke.)

Perez Hilton
June 12, 2008
Perez Hilton is a very famous celebrity blogger. Funny how that works. Hang out with the pigs and… Ahem, anyways. 
Perez gets drafted into this hallowed enclave of bloggers by covering Paris Hilton. Okay, worse. Paris Hilton and Benji Madden whom all apparently had Memorial Day with both of their collective families.
Perez had this to say:
Both families met up on Memorial Day.
Kathy [Paris' Mom] adds, “We were all cleaning the kitchen together after the barbecue, and Paris helped.”
As for Benji, Kathy says, “I think he sees the real Paris.”
Sweetie, I think we’ve all seen the real Paris.
Ok, so maybe Perez should be in a different enclave of bloggers for that line, but nah! We’ll keep him here for good measure.

Jeremy Pepper
June 12, 2008
Jeremy Pepper is a PR professional in social media. And he gets it.
What makes him a P.I.T.A.B. is this quote from an article titled, Truth versus Blogosphere Truth. With a title like that, he must be a pain.
What do I mean? What happens usually in the blogosphere is that something is glommed onto as truth, and that might not be the full truth or even the half truth. But, with the blogosphere, things can spiral out of control quickly, and then the blogosphere truth will be so far away from the truth that it’s laughable … but it’s not because the blogosphere truth will be held up as authoritative because of how Google works.
How dare he tell us bloggers that Google is right.
Oh, that and he gets all the girls. That’s kind of annoying.

Shel
June 12, 2008
Shel is a P.I.T.A.B. because he never has any clothes on, he can’t seem to identify what SAP does.
He does get props for owning his own domain name though.
Shel is most known for his series of interviews that he posts on YouTube. Most of them are hilarious, but Shel seems to be oblivious.
Shel is also known for his fantastic owl, Hoot, and his uncanny ability to use large microphone-shaped objects on the set.

Shel Israel

Shel Israel wrote Naked Conversations
Shel gets listed here for, among other things, being a Windows user in a Mac world. He describes:
I get kidded a lot about the tech problems I so often seem to have. Last week I was at TC 40 and was the only person in the front two rows who could not get on my computer. The trouble is I am not alone in what goes wrong for me. In fact, I am among millions of people who work on Windows-based machines, who are not tech professionals and do not have IT support to tweak their machines.
It’s worse for me than it may be for you, because I move around a lot with an ultralight computer and Windows does not seem to like me connecting to the Internet from several places every day.
Come on man! There’s no excuse!

Dave Taylor
June 12, 2008
Dave Taylor was once described as Boulder, Colorado’s only homeless man and that, “Even Boulder’s homeless help people - oh wait, that’s not a homeless guy! That’s Dave Taylor!”
Now because we don’t really think that Dave is really all that bad, we’re just going to give him crap about his website where he answers reader questions (if he actually has readers! ;-)). Yes, someone supposedly asked, When was the last time Google visited my website?
His answer:
Click on the “Cached” link and you’ll be shown an archived copy of the Web page from Google’s internal storage system, with a long, complicated header that’s oh-so-important to our quest. The first line says: “This is G o o g l e’s cache of the URL as retrieved on May 16, 2008 07:00:18 GMT.”
My answer:
Google doesn’t care about you or your pitiful site. Move on.

Joey deVilla
June 12, 2008
Joey deVilla is known in many circles as “The Guy With the Accordion”. Loved by some, dreaded by many others, he is the guy that always has girls flocking to his lovely accordion.
Joey works at b5media and is generally known as the guy who is most likely to say the most inappropriate thing possible. And people love him for it.
Which is why he is a Pain in the Ass Blogger.
His problem is Canned Bacon. Srsly.
According to the nutritional information on the can, a single serving of three strips of Yoders bacon has:
- 60 calories (40 of which are from fat)
- 5 grams of fat (2 of which are from saturated fat)
- 15 milligrams of sodium
- 190 milligrams of cholesterol
- No carbs!
- 5 grams of protein

Pete Cashmore
June 12, 2008
Pete Cashmore is the Lead Editor of Mashable. Though he has obviously put many years of hard work in, slaving away in his parent’s house day after day doing nothing but blogging (how noble of him!), he gets listed for a very simple reason.
All the girls think he is hotter than me.
Meh.
