It's quite the litigious news day for the Internet, what with the news that a Yelp user is being sued for his negative review of a doctor, and a model is suing Google because of anonymous nasty comments about her which were posted on a Blogger-hosted blog.
Disregarding the validity of each case, they both present interesting cases for how we should and shouldn't use the Internet; as for Yelp, you're supposed to be able to post negative reviews (reviews tending to be one way or the other); will each negative claim be investigated? Could I be sued for not being able to prove that I found a hair in my burrito?

I read a story last week about the small (and shrinking) population of US residents that don't have a cell phone — which included my fellow blogger and friend, Gregory Han, from Unplggd. Although a portion of this group do not have the means to own one, a majority of this population has made a conscious decision to ditch the phone by their own accord. It reminded me of a friend that recently gave up his cell along with his Facebook and Twitter accounts in an attempt to clear his mind and simplify his life.

Were you, like me, disappointed that the characters of Gossip Girl didn't get to unmask their namesake blogger on this week's season finale? Even though I know she's never revealed in the books, I have different hopes for the show and also — they were so close! Jonathan "hacked into her server" but that's as far as they could get?!

At the risk of dating myself, I'm just going to put it out there that I was a huge Doogie Howser, MD fan. In fact, I couldn't have been more ecstatic a few years ago when Neil Patrick Harris made a triumphant comeback with Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle, which of course led to his awesome role as Barney Stinson on How I Met Your Mother. I watch NPH on HIMYM — a slick, chic geek with his iPhone — and then I remember that this is not the first time he's showcased his onscreen geekiness.

Aside from The Hills, my other favorite MTV show is Rob & Big — it's a 180 from the drama of the LA girls, with skateboarder Rob Dyrdek and his BFF Big living it up a lot more lighthearted than their network neighbors. What they do have in common, though, is the frequent mention and featuring of gadgets and tech. The boys have an in-home ATM, a net gun, and spend plenty of time on their Macs and on the internet and "The 'Space" (from now on, this is all I will call MySpace).

Last week Bellasugar attended the launch party of Calvin Klein's latest fragrance called, ck IN2U in New York City. ck IN2U is a perfume marketed at all us bloggers out there - an idea that baffled me all weekend and made for a serious bar debate.
The idea is based on the premise that you don't know what the guy looks like that you've been flirting with on IM and email, but you know that he's into you and you are diggin' him for sure!

If only blogging was as cool as it is now when I was in college...but then again, who knows how much studying I would have done! A recent USA Today article suggests that more universities are joining a growing trend of posting "an interactive online diary and several other unfiltered student blogs directly on their homepages as a recruiting tool." What universities are hoping for, is that prospective students can get a true glimpse of campus life from other students blogging about it.
