Live at Mesh 07 @ 1018 — Arrington Keynote Part 4

More:

  • On embargoes: Many bloggers don’t honor embargoes; it creates a situation where journalists feel pressured to break embargoes … he’s not trying to do it.
  • On tricks and tips for bloggers: You need to care and be passionate about what you’re writing about.  It will naturally lead to thinking about the topic, reading about it, and meeting people and being close to the industry.  Mike Arrington feels that startups are like modern day pirates (I forget the rest of the metaphor) … write about what you love, everything else will follow
  • Branching TC into other forms of media: Rich media is difficult to create — in time to record it, edit and post it.  Feels that its harder to consume it.  He’ll let other people do it as part of his organization (one day).
  • On hiring Heather as CEO — not denying rumours about getting bought, or buying other blogs; also bringing intangibles with respect to her competencies and talents.
  • That’s it!
