Nerd hero and Star Trek actor Wil Wheaton lost it on his Twitter feed today:

Oh and Mitt Romney? I just saw your drop-out speech, and I need to say, FUCK YOU YOU FUCKING FUCKER. Go to Hell, you pile of dogshit.

Wil Wheaton sees AOL's Propeller — and spins better than before

Nerd idol Wil Wheaton claims to have seen the next version of Digg clone Propeller.com — and it's even clonier than before! "Holy crap are they awesome. I can't wait for it to go live," Wheaton Twitters. Propeller, formerly Netscape.com, was bulldog aficionado Jason Calacanis's attempt at building a better Digg by supplementing the wisdom of crowds with the snobbery of human editors. Interesting that AOL is still pumping money into the site. Maybe Propeller isn't sinking quite as fast as we'd thought?
