Google and eBay — catfight, 90210-style

by Mathew on June 14, 2007 · Comments

Google: “Hey girlfriend, I know you’re having a party on Wednesday, but I’m having a little bash thingy of my own that night — hope that doesn’t stress you out or anything. Love you — bye!”

eBay: “Excuse me, but WTF? You knew I was going to have that party for months, and so you planned yours the same night? How about you give me back that dress and nail-polish you borrowed then — hope that doesn’t stress you out or anything, beyotch.”

Google: “Hey, what’s with the attitude? You know we’re BFFs, right? I can totally call off the party. No biggie.”

(Apologies for the crudely rendered teenaged girl chat-speak — I’ve done a little freelance anthropological research involving the two I have at home, but I’m still unfamiliar with the species)

  • Bravo! This should be a regular feature: silicon valley corporate hissy fits in gurl-talk. Love it.
  • Ha. Nice. That's basically how I saw it go down as well...
  • Nice one Mathew! ;-)

    That's a great idea, Mark. I may just do that.
  • Without a doubt, the most entertaining and informative post I've read in weeks anywhere.

    You're mastering that chat-speak thing pretty well...and it definitely fit the bill in this instance. LOL

    Excellent summation of the situation in teenspeak.
