It's working for me, but in case it's down again, here's Google's cached version: http://bit.ly/OdjSdM

Anyone else getting sick of titles like these?

Submit a poll, find out.

edit Whoops, feature was turned off. That's a bummer.

Your network provider sucks and it's all your fault

Just to make a point, and certainly not capturing all the grammatical problems with this post:

"Your sitting down eating lunch at your desk."

One list ends with periods, the other does not.

"No one knows who you really are besides your previous title’s"

Is grammar now a lost art? I understand the author has a message, but it feels lost and less professional when one doesn't take the opportunity to proofread work.

This website is down, and it's not my fault.

alright keep the jokes coming :) Wpengine.com here I come!

Given that computers are better at networking than people, if my professional network sucks, it is only my fault to the extent that I have failed to build a system that makes it not suck for everyone.

I'm not sure professional networking is something that can be usefully automated. I mean, a LinkedIn network is to a real network as Facebook friends are to real friends.

A friend, perhaps, has to resonate certain emotions, but a professional associate just needs to have utilitarian value. A time where you can just press a button and have a system that automatically matches your skills and interests with an employer looking for the same seems quite within the realm of possibility, especially as AI improves.

sorry guys. horrible host... all my fault.. moving it to another server later tonight.

Might wanna fix the misspelling in the first word of the post while you're at it, as it gives a bad first impression. It should be "you're", nor "your".
