- conditionalaxe, on 12/02/2008, -0/+37If this guy is so amazing, why do I never hear about him outside of his own press releases?
- richardhenry, on 12/02/2008, -0/+29This guy is the definition of webcock.
- bradjward, on 12/02/2008, -0/+27He follows a whopping 32 people. What a conversationalist. He sure does add value to the site. (Please tell me this PR is a joke?)
@bradjward - miked918, on 12/02/2008, -0/+26Yes, but he's "a top three Atlanta Twitterer." You can't beat that with a stick!
Too bad he doesn't get that, especially in social media, it's not about promoting yourself; it's about contributing to the community, sharing and connecting. - ZeroBananas, on 12/02/2008, -0/+22Isn't it extraordinary how every cretin peddling a ***** online marketing seminar claims to be a multi-millionaire...
Personally, if I was worth over $20 million I wouldn't be embarassing myself in cringeworthy press releases, but that's just my personal preference. - nmjoynt, on 12/02/2008, -0/+17Wow.
Just ... wow. - simonowens, on 12/02/2008, -0/+17Hahahahah: Check out this guy's Digg submissions:
http://digg.com/users/mbacak/history/submissions
It's all crap about him, each with one digg.
Signed, Simon Owens, the most elite twitter user in his apartment building
http://twitter.com/simonowens - veled, on 12/02/2008, -1/+18Hey, I live in Atlanta and I follow more guys than this turd!
I propose we meme this guy. "Matt Bacak - the Biggest Douche in Social Media" has a nice ring to it, don't you think? - simonowens, on 12/02/2008, -0/+16HAHA, he dugg the fact that he joined twitter:

If only we'd known then the superstar he would have become, we could have gotten that to the front page. - granolajoe, on 12/02/2008, -0/+15"According to Nielson Online, Twitter is the fastest growing social networking site, achieving a 343% growth rate between September 2007 and September 2008. Facebook came in at the number six spot, growing 116% over the same time period. For obvious reasons, landing in the top tier of either of these social media giants could boost an Internet marketer's career, but accomplishing it in both is an almost guaranteed catapult into the stratosphere. Well, that's exactly what Matt Bacak has just done."
Are you ***** kidding me? - CaliforniaEagle, on 12/02/2008, -0/+15What a loser...an internet marketer thinking he can "market his way to popularity"
- SAEJO, on 12/02/2008, -0/+14What an ass. This is a perfect example of a spammer on Twitter. A no-name marketer with 1800 followers and he only follows back 32 people. He obviously went on a mass friend adding frenzy and then un-followed people once they began following him. Freakin' jerk.
- Smitty1179, on 12/02/2008, -2/+16This guy rocks. I wish I were friends with him.
- ciaoenriconews, on 12/02/2008, -0/+14OMG - what a dick!
- inactive, on 12/02/2008, -0/+12I am presently tied for 30th in the Yahoo Pigskin Pick'em, out of more than 700k people.
You will be seeing my press release shortly... - pmsyyz, on 12/02/2008, -0/+11Nothing wrong with using Wikipedia to define something people may not be familar with.
"Now he's entered the Twitter elite, where, as of press time, he sat firmly in the number three slot among all Atlanta, Ga., Twitterers. Bacak also ranks 468 out of 506,626 Twitterers worldwide."
Yes, very lame. How many followers does he have exactly?
Twitter is blocked at work, and I don't see how to view an individual's info at iTweet, so I'll have to check his Twitter account out when I get home. - marklemunyon, on 12/02/2008, -0/+10I especially like his submission about his own Facebook account:
http://digg.com/celebrity/Matt_Bacak_Hits_Facebook ...
Humbly categorized as "celebrity." - Oatmeal, on 12/02/2008, -0/+10What's with his website? It's just a giant letter from his mom talking about how awesome he is:
http://www.aboutmattbacak.com/ - simonowens, on 12/02/2008, -0/+10Ha, I saw this earlier today. I clicked over to his twitter account and saw that he has just over 1,000 followers. WTF?? I'm going to send out a press release when I get 300 followers. "Simon Owens has most twitter followers in his residential neighborhood."
- JamesArcher, on 12/02/2008, -0/+91,800 followers? This guy claims to be part of the "Twitter elite" with 1,800 followers?
- BrettFromTibet, on 12/02/2008, -2/+11Not Dugg... not wanting to feed the flame.
- granolajoe, on 12/02/2008, -0/+9I hope everyone gets to know this douchebag for self-aggrandizing and cheesy self-promotion and becomes the definitive example of who *NOT* to hire for social media work.
Those of you on Stumbleupon, please thumb this asshat down into oblivion. - invitation, on 12/02/2008, -1/+10I've been aware of Matt Bacak for sometime. He is a fairly well known internet marketer. A social media expert he is not. I think his own press release proves my point.
- mikoto1610, on 12/02/2008, -0/+9Hahaha, loving the comments - you guys are priceless! :o)
- wss23, on 12/02/2008, -0/+8Not only an ass, but shows you what a joke Twittergrader is if this guy is Twitter elite and 99.9!
- ForbesBingley, on 12/02/2008, -0/+8I've never heard of him, either. But the Wikipedia reference is neither here nor there for me. It's a question of the target audience and their knowledge and experience.
That said, the press release is just self-masturbatory drivel... - znhs, on 12/02/2008, -0/+7Yes, it looks like this will be the first Digg submission about Matt Bacak, not submitted by Matt Bacak
http://digg.com/search?s=matt+bacak+&submit=Search ... - elguiri, on 12/02/2008, -1/+8The question is answered: "How many tweets make a *****?"
- CatNC, on 12/02/2008, -0/+7Please tell me this is a joke. I don't mind a little self promotion but this is narcissism. Then to have his Mother write a letter in his About Matt section ummm okay, whatever. Oh yeah interesting thing here - the person who submitted the PR is Stephanie Bunn his wife happens to be a Stephanie and if you click on the Frontier Marketing link it takes you to Matt's homepage.
Definitely not thumbing this. Will thumb it down in Stumble. - danimal0416, on 12/02/2008, -0/+6... and I thought I had a self-promotion problem.
- elguiri, on 12/02/2008, -0/+6Finally a web2turd gets his comeuppance
- inactive, on 12/02/2008, -0/+6You missed his incredible promotional piece from none other than his mommy http://bit.ly/LauG
- adjustafresh, on 12/02/2008, -0/+6Time for a Google bomb campaign. The words Matt Bacak and Douche should become synonymous.
- thewordisberry, on 12/02/2008, -0/+6If you have 5 minutes to waste, skim his other press releases. OMG, Matt, you are so amazing!!!!!!! Like, stratospherically amazing!
You must respect his authoritay. - davidlaplante, on 12/02/2008, -0/+6to "Bacak Effect" refers to the rise and fall of a shamelss social media numbers chaser. "The guy totally Bacak'd himself to a social media death."
- granolajoe, on 12/02/2008, -0/+5Live Bacak feed on Twitter: http://snurl.com/71emg
- DJLitten, on 12/02/2008, -1/+6This made my day. Thanks to @bradjward for posting this on Twitter
- inactive, on 12/02/2008, -0/+5I wonder how his last name is pronounced.
- GammaStream, on 12/02/2008, -0/+5Third person references, marketing gold.
- yuletide, on 12/02/2008, -0/+5Let's digg him to the top of a third social network... as a douche!
- inactive, on 12/02/2008, -2/+7I thought the biggest douche was Robert Scoble?
- GammaStream, on 12/02/2008, -0/+4He doesn't have one submission that has more than 6 diggs. Tells you a lot about his contributions.
- nullvariable, on 12/02/2008, -0/+4fta: "but he currently outranks 99.9% of all members of the site." what? what metric is he using for that? hes only got 1800 followers, that's not that many...
- rhysboy84, on 12/02/2008, -0/+4Not dugg, as the fact we're talking about him being a douche means trollop like Matt Barracks (or whatever is name is) is winning.
A happy online marketer is one that is talked about.
Even if he is an unwiped arse. - ditd, on 12/02/2008, -0/+4Why digg when you can bury? So much more fun to bury shameless (not to mention shameful) self-promotion.
- tibbon, on 12/02/2008, -0/+4Whoa. It seems that he isn't just bad at Twitter and bad at PR. Doing some Google searching showed some VERY interesting things about Mr Bacak. I wrote a blog post summarizing some of them (no advertising, so I don't get anything out of you clicking)
http://whatisnoise.com/2008/12/matt-bacak-not-just ... - inactive, on 12/02/2008, -0/+4*****! I am tied for 21st now! Updated press release on it's way!!!
- mscbrowne, on 12/02/2008, -0/+4I am embarrassed for the PR guy - and for my profession. There are times when you have to say 'No' to a press release.
On the other hand, Matt is being talked about, albeit nastily... - porkbarbeque, on 12/02/2008, -0/+4It's amazing the attention a well-written press release can generate (...snickers...)
- inactive, on 12/02/2008, -0/+31,800 followers, while he follows around 30.
