How to be omitted from Wired in 4 easy steps

  1. Give Wired’s sex blog a bad review and ridicule the writer on your video-podcast;
  2. Write a critique of a Wired writer’s editorial arguing that his point about ‘video-podcasting being too difficult and costly for amateurs to make’ is wrong, and send it to him by e-mail;
  3. After that Wired writer automatically adds you to his mailing list to boast about publicize his podcast, write him an e-mail asking to be removed, adding “I sent you one e-mail, but never asked to subscribe to a newsletter“;
  4. Continue criticizing Wired’s sex blog author intermittently on your video-podcast, especially as she is invited to speak at Internext amongst a panel of really good bloggers.

Stir these ingredients together in a large metal bowl and read Wired’s “ultimate” guide to online video to see yourself not included in the guide. Ultimate, indeed… they didn’t even put Bre Pettis’ I Make Things in their guide! Oh well, at least Al Gore’s got a good article…

    Yes, I find that the same approach (with a few variations in the actual recipe) works with many traditional media outlets. =) *shrug*
