Where oh where on the blogging spectrum does C.O. fall in the four shperes of audience reaction? In the "Lust" category? nyerhe. In "Indignation"? nyerhe!
According to Valleywag, we're planted firmly in the "Affirmation" sphere! (But dangerously close to 'outrage'!)
Nice submishe, Das Hajjen!

blah
But even closer to "Novelty"
very appropo, I'd say!.
Surely stimulation and lust!!!!!!
It does seem that a stray ducky has escaped Cuteville and landed in Novelty.
Hmmm...and I always thought that CO was off the charts.
Same here, Aubrey.
Must be all those 'This'& Racks images that's pushing the Outrage envelope ;).
CO is definitely affirmation (It's cute therefore I am). I think the proximity to "outrage" is because of outraaaagious fransh accent posts.
If you're looking at CO for purposes of Lust, Honourable Gladys Anstruther, then this should be under Perversity. ^_^
I think CO ought to be at the convergence of Affirmation/Outrage/Novelty. It is all these things.
Oh, and the Outrage? Clearly a product of the Nuffingham Factor.
I think it's novelty. I mean what a "novel" concept...a website of all things cute?
I have to admit though that it's somewhat "titillation" (what a FANTASTIC work that is) without all the icky sex things implied with that.
I'm obviously stimulated and tickled by what I see here but not aroused! Even with the fantastic racks, this is so not about sex but it is sort of pleasurable in a wholly "my brain is overwhelmed with feelings of joy" sort of way.
Where's the part of the circle where all areas meet? What is that called? Overloaded. I think that just about right.
What a pretty pastel petal flower.
CO affirms me, CO affirms me not, CO affirms me, CO affirms me not, CO affirms me!
Hannah, 'it's cute therefore I am' - the philosophy propounded by Rene DeCute.
How about "I meep, therefore I am," Aubrey?
re: "Stray Duckie" escape -- I think that's Ze Frank, PonyGirl.

I think it's closer to Stimulation/Novelty, myself.
This chart totally makes my head hurt.
Is gofugyourself.com on there? That's my fave fashion-bitch-fix blog.
CO still rules my universe.
Huh??
how about more cute animals and fewer venn diagrams that don't really make a whole lot of sense?
I was thinking "Titillation"-- but I agree with Ali: more cute, fewer diagrams, please.
ali, how about you have a little patience, dude.
"Fewer Diagrams" people -- um, go back and count them, 'k? Actually, here, I'll do it: 1...
...
. . . .
.....................
...yeah, we're done here.
(Note the categories, peeps. It's a shoutout, i.e. publicity. The fuzz continues after these messages of success and inevitable world domination.)
DKN, I think the Fug Girls are going to be a little annoyed about this!
T., "I squee, because I can?"
I am not afraid to ask:
Who is the person next to the CO logo with the rather unaffirming expression?
Anyway, without a diagram, you might get poignant.
AAARRRGH PYRIT
Hold on ... I *used* to be good at this ...
*tries to start up brain*
*fails*
Teho, world domination has already been addressed by the kitteh in Backlit Extravaganza. Sometime yesterday afternoon I channeled kitteh while trying to concentrate on work and learned that Teh Qte will indeed rule the earth. Oh, and he told me his name was the Great Floofy McFloofersons. Go figure.
WTG, Meg, being an island of kind and happy sanity in the midst of a sea of much-too-serious crap.
I think the slight nudging toward Outrage probably comes from those Nuffers still hanging around...
And EliottM, that's Heather of dooce.com.
One more thing: Sidney, I think you meant to say "bleen"
Whoever came up with this diagram does not have enough to do. They need a bit more Stimulation in their life - the kind that does not come from a computer screen. How about a book? With big words? :o)~
So, boing boing is the center of the blogosphere? huh.
thinkie, you're absolutely right re: the Nuff dust still kickin'.
Meggie is the *best*!
i think the proximity to "outrage" has to do with the questionable language some of the animals use. it's like people think Meg is making them say that stuff or something. and what is she to do? censor the animals, without whom there would be no CO? i think not! if a panda or a baby polar bear wants to call me a bizzatch i plan to sit here and take it as long as they want to dish it out.
because i am a willing slave to the Qte.
Instead of
"Affirmation -- Indignation -- Titillation (heh. he said tit.) -- Stimulation",
it were
"Sqeeeeee! -- Bleen -- 'Tocks -- Splode"
to make it a truly CO Universe?
anner - And, as you yourself so deliciously said, "Don't forget the hoes."
And then the Affirmation/Indignation overlap "Outrage" could be replaced by "Critter 'n' Racks";
Indignation/Titillation overlap "Scandal" replaced by "Interspecies Snorgling";
Affirmation/Stimulation overlap "Novelty" replaced by "Snorgling" (you know, the good old, decent kind);
and "Stimulation/Titillation" overlap "Lust" replaced by "Kid Licking Pig's Nose."
The center of it all? The Cosmic Meg.
Yes. I have Too Much Free Time.
jaypo, what if i don't wanna?!
:)
I'm going for the Trifecta here:
The even smaller overlaps between three of the orbits...
"Sex" replaced by "Kees";
"Perversity replaced by "Leek";
"Revenge" replaced by "Nyyeeeeh";
and "Schadenfreude" by "Ehn".
Not quite sure where Theo fits into all of this.
Thanks Theo. I would have said "bleen" if I knew what it meant? Wanna give me a clue. Pweese
Aubrey: "I *beep* therefore I'm Jaypo"?
Except, obviously, I'm not.
ZOMG! The stupid "prove you're not a robot" thingy. It just made me type "k9nfur."
Did I just receive a cosmic message from Teh Qte? If the next post is a puppers...
Redz:
"I'm sweet, therefore I'm Maypo?"
Yum, Maypo!
And I recognize approximately (less than) half of what's on the diagram, but I still think it's a hoot. I'll have to look at it again at home, when I can make it big enough actually to *see* most of the icons.
Boo to the "I don't like this, post more animals" crowd. It's a CuteOverload mention, so it gets posted.
I admit I am not sure what is titillating and almost lustful about EBay. Since our society is saturated with "I spend, therefore I am," maybe it should be over in Affirmation.
I'm deep, therefore I'm Thoreau.
I'm Jeep, therefore I'm turbo.
I'm a Peep, therefore I'm Theo. (except, obviously, I'm not). Snicker, Redz ;-)
Oh don't start...I have to go, and miss all the fun.
This is pretty darn cool. It reminds me of all the strategery I learned in Corporate Life. We could diagram the heck out of anything. This is by far the most useful application of Diagramnostication I've seen.
Amy, please tell me you made up the word "Diagramnostication." Or are you a Diagramnostitician?
"jaypo, what if i don't wanna?!"
Then I beep you on the nose.
brinnan - I prefer Diagramnosticator.
