Awesome. I miss being able to say "blowjob" on Valleywag. Or more accurately, getting Melissa to say it.

"I couldn't be happier."

I liked her better when she was all about the cupcakes. But no, she had to get all Clay Shirky / Robert X. Cringely on us and claim to have to have predicted the future.

I'm glad for two reasons: First, Nick has broken out of the $12-per-post world of blogging. Second, his book is a bunch of funny stuff that other people said, rather than a couple hundred pages about how Twitter is changing everything, just everything, so you need to hire Nick Douglas as a speaker and/or business consultant.
