Postings from The Chronicle's technology blog (sfgate.com/blogs/tech) Web 2.0 include those of Aaron Swartz. He got rich when Reddit, a populist online news and content ranking site, was purchased by Wired Digital for an unknown sum. Like the character in Office Space, who said, Human beings were not meant to sit in little cubicles staring at computer screens all day, filling out useless forms and listening to eight different bosses drone on about mission statements, Schwarz may find himself a fish out of water as he takes his first genuine desk job worked for Wired for the next two years. He has already lost his productivity and has had a crying spell while at work for Wired. Cubicle workers everywhere surely can totally relate. Mr. Swartz says his group mostly does other peoples work because many Wired employees seek his group out for help with technical problems. He suspects that the routing of the company Internet connection through IT HQ in another state was set up to spy on employees, and he notes that On Day 1 they took our laptops and backed up the drives to ensure they had a copy of all our data (requiring the newbies to get all their MP3 collections and other stuff off first). Then they got company-approved very slow iBook G4s with spyware installed. Jessica Guynn also blogs about TechCrunch founder Michael Arrington, who has his own bobblehead on Compete.com.
