Politics Buzz W begins his farewell tour in an interview with ABC, telling Charlie Gibson that he was “unprepared for war” and that he's “sure some people voted for Barack Obama because of me.” We can all look forward to the torrent of self-pitying interviews and “I've-stopped-caring” executive decisions coming our way. Cue the Green Day.
Tech Buzz Jakob Lodwick, Vimeo founder and self-proclaimed Fameball, has said good-bye to Tumblr and “the Social Web.” Will it last? It’s the latest in a long line of “final posts” — Dave Winer, Julia Allison come to mind — that really mean “I’m really upset and I’m taking a break”. We don’t think it will stick, but goodbyes are always fun to read, even if they’re fake.
