Have a Great 08!

By Jim Turner on Dec 31, 2007

Thanks bro. It’s a tough gig. Would love to have a longer conversation with you sometime. You seem to be one of the few “switched on” dudes out there. …And thanks for making me laugh.

By Art Lindsey III on Dec 31, 2007

Thank you Loren for doing what you do.

By Coop on Dec 31, 2007

Wonder where your detractors are when you show this side of yourself? Funny how they have nothing to say, eh?

Kick ass in ‘08 Loren. Can’t wait to see what you have cooking for the next year!

By Eban Crawford on Dec 31, 2007

Loren, you were my find of 07, you make my web worthwhile.Keep up the amazing work
Have a great 08 from the big headed Irish Mic

Hi Loren, I only found your work recently but I like it a lot. As a native NYer currently exiled in CA, it’s like a breath of home to hear you.

Looking forward to what 2008 will bring!

By Lux on Dec 31, 2007

Loren,

I concur with many others that stumbling onto your site was one of the blog highlights of the year for me.

In fact, it was KnifeGunPen.com that turned me on to your site.

And I agree with you that Robert Bruce is a genius.

All the best in 2008 to you and Michelle.

By Vinny on Dec 31, 2007

Happy New Year to you Loren and to all your friends and detractors. We are all supposed to have fun always.

2008 is setting up to be an interesting year.

By Jecklin on Dec 31, 2007

Well slowly, very slowly you are becoming a growth on me. No you are starting to grow on me. yeah.

I am reminded of this diddy (daddy-o) and as a nod to you (and a wink to your NOT a dopey sister) a dedication (where is Casey Kasem) … GETTING TO KNOW YOU (Oscar Hammerstein) …

It’s a very ancient saying,
But a true and honest thought,
That if you become a teacher,
By your pupils you’ll be taught.
As a teacher I’ve been learning
(You’ll forgive me if I boast)
And I’ve now become an expert,
On the subject I like most.
[Spoken]
Getting to know you.
[Children Giggle]
Getting to know you, getting to know all about you.
Getting to like you, getting to hope you like me.
Getting to know you, putting it my way,
But nicely,
You are precisely,
My cup of tea.
[Children Giggle]

All [Except children]:
Getting to know you,
Getting to know all about you.
Getting to like you,
Getting to hope you like me.
Getting to know you, putting it my way,
But nicely,
You are precisely,

Anna:
My cup of tea.

All (including children):
Getting to know you,
Getting to feel free and easy.
When I am with you,
Getting to know what to say
Haven’t you noticed
Suddenly I’m bright and breezy
Because of all the beautiful and new
Things I’m learning about you
Day by day.
Getting to know you,
Getting to feel free and easy.
When I am with you,
Getting to know what to say
Haven’t you noticed
Suddenly I’m bright and breezy
Because of all the beautiful and new
Things I’m learning about you
Day by day.

Substitute web denizens, social media junkies and portals (or anything you want) for Anna, the Mothers and kids.

Would love to do a duet with ya … second thought never mind.

With much respect, some love and a greater desire to see more Michelle. Happy New Year … you grumpy old social media shit stirrer. Only more success your way.

By dave on Dec 31, 2007

I think that you’ll start seeing the lurkers, who’ve been blindly following the a-listers but also enjoying your videos, come forward in 2008. The influence is going to shift I believe.

Thanks for making social media lively and real.

By Rob Safuto on Dec 31, 2007

Thanks Loren

I wish all the best to you and yours and the rest of the 1938media crew. I admire y’alls courage and passion for this social media bullshit.

power and grace

ps

I’m just here to watch somebody get knocked the fuck out.

You are the most refreshing voice in my feed reader. Keep on giving the industry hell in 08.

By Tyler Banfield on Dec 31, 2007

Gr8 stuff man.

By Dennis Howlett on Dec 31, 2007

G-d bless you, man. I feel really honored to have gotten to know you this year. More great things ahead. Cheers to you, your family, and Michelle to a fabulous 2008!

By Frank on Dec 31, 2007

Thank you my brother.

You are a damn force of nature man.

By Robert Bruce on Dec 31, 2007

All the best to you and yours, bro.

By Vince Williams on Dec 31, 2007

I believe real men and real women always know when it’s time to say goodbye and when it’s time to say “thank you”.

Have a great year everyone watching this piece of awesomeness.

By Livia on Dec 31, 2007

Web 2.0 is all fucked up. Thanks Loren for reminding all that. Where all that BS is going ? What’s the future. I’m trying to write an article on my blog “What we have done with the Internet is not so cool.”
I miss the old Internet times. I really loved IRC times back few years ago. The communities were “communities”. Now it’s all about run to popularity , stats & traffic and cents to AdSense. Even the kids run for traffic on their blog at 11yo. The web is dead? Facebook? lol A spam machine.
I remember i USED to read EFF, /.
Makes me think for 2008. Happy New year to all. The future is not written yet. Well at least, I believe.

Great year Loren. You inspired me quite a bit this year, and made me laugh a lot too. Thanks.
