Blogue d'actualite du blogue et d'ailleurs sur le Web... Blogue mémoire en ligne depuis 2003... Précurseur en son genre, ce "blogue de liens" existe depuis la nuit des temps (en âge blogosphèrique). À sa naissance il participa aux grandes lignes de l'infernale blogosphère, puis des remous virtuels le firent tanguer sans arriver à le faire sombrer.

Via Manchester Online. La carnetière de Chicago Mimi Smartpants, a fait paraître le 2 février son premier livre pas sérieux du tout : The World According To Mimi Smartypants (HarperCollins Entertainment). Elle a décroché de la part de l'éditeur un contrat initial de 20000 US Dollars.
Voilà ce qui est communiqué par l'éditeur à son propos :

" This is the real-life diary of a sassy, funny, straight-talking 30-something Chicago girl who tells it like it is. Mimi first appeared on the internet site diaryland.com which hosts over 400,000 live diaries - mostly from girls - from all around the world and has 800,000 registered users. Mimi's was the most clicked diary on the website, becoming something of a web cult. She lives with LT (husband - she was a child bride), Cat (cat), Kat (friend, female, good for staying up late and getting into trouble in bars), travels the El (Elevated Railway), drinks beer (in bars) and occasionally dresses up in dresses and makes like the undead at Neo's goth nights (it's an affliction she's trying kick). She is 30 years old (but looks younger), is 5ft 1inch (but looks taller), weighs (never weighs herself... it says 127 on her drivers licence). She's left-handed (she cannot do anything with her right hand - except lift drinks at bars), she looks in other peoples medicine cabinets when the owner is not around, hates people saying ATM machine (since the "m" stands for machine already, doh), has never had a cavity (weird) and likes penguins. Most of all, Mimi Smartypants gets it... and so do hundreds of thousands of her followers."
