Media release from The Standarista Collective
1st April 2015
The Standardista Collective today announced plans for a massive new media venture, Fruukd. “This analogue-digital-quantum platform will take social media, big data, ultra-fast broadband and Web 3.0 to new levels of excellence in the production and dissemination of personalised responsive real-time news-like content substitute.” Our motto “I can’t believe it’s not news!”
“In partnership with the GCSB we will be delivering targeted advertising with a precision that you simply will not believe.” “No really – you won’t believe it” said a spokesperson.
“And unlike certain other non-existant media ventures we could name, our drones will be fully armed.”
Fruukd will be launching any day now. Real soon. Honest.
Sounds fabulous! Just so long as the commenters get a way of voting for most popular post and most popular comment to a higher status, and then a way of voting worst commenter and worst author off the blog. Maybe at the end of each week. Plus a range of new flashing shorthand expressive smilies so we don’t have to type so much or bother listening to each other. Can’t leave us lot behind, we feed the beast.
The drones could take care of the worst authors and commenters… oh sh*t! INCOMING…!!!
bit late…
I’m pretty relaxed about the launch to be honest.
At the end of the day? Or only till midday?
veritas doesn’t sink in til the wine does…
I just can’t wait for the cat videos, racist jokes and other useful material!
Cats rule though.

Interesting that the announcement was made on April 1st.
Wouldn’t the better brand just be ‘Fuukd’?
It isn’t nice to mock people with head injuries 😈
They happen when you bash your head on the canvas like that.
As long as Jim Mora, Mike H, and Paul H are not on it, it’s gotta be better than what we have now. 😉
He who flys Tony’s Piper calls the Cherokee tune.
“We’ve done interviews.We loved who we’ve seen We’re not quite finished with that process”
They did not advertise a PR role. So who does that for them ?
