Sorry for the hype.. got misdirected by a tweet, a strangely worded blog post and a reply to my inquiring e-mail today from Owen which looked more cut and pasted than something written to me.
Didn’t mean to give your advertisers a heart attack Owen! You didn’t know I may publish our email conversation..? I was contacting you as a blogger asking about a rumor and for you to confirm. We’ve never spoken before have we? My Exact e-mail stated..
Hi Owen,
I am Mike Law author of NameTalent.com. Just saw a tweet from @nameswing saying your done in the social scene? Can you confirm and add details? Thanks, I’ll be posting a blog about this shortly.
Best Regards,
Mike

wrong, he will kiss Rick’s @ss at least twice of Faggerfactor
If he left the social scene I don’t think anyone would notice. I was hoping your original post was true.
You got my hopes up. And which advertiser had a heart attack? I hope Frank Schilling is doing OK? Oh that’s right… it’s a fake ad… like all those “as featured on” graphics… Since when do press releases = endorsement?
[…] Some rumor about Owen Frager leaving blogging and domaining behind made me worry for a while. After all, Owen is an “old timer” that precedes the digital era that many current entrepreneurs were born into. […]
Turned this post into an Owen bashing party..
Can we see the original e-mail again? 🙂
@Mike – no problem, brother. I wasn’t trying to stir up anything as I mention in a comment on Owen’s site.
Actually, I was shocked that what I read about him getting out of the social scene was seemingly taken to the extreme of FF being down.
And with his skills at PR and Marketing I’m sure he can handle the damage control part of it with his advertisers.
Peace.
