Blogging’s Naked Truth

Sarah Perez at Read/Write Web wonders whether or not content is finally / just now becoming a commodity, referencing the Shyftr saga over the weekend, and with particular reference to bloggers.  The funny thing (of course, not in a ‘ha ha’ way) is that this truth that she is stumbling upon, is one of the [...]

On Media Literacy, “Email Apnea”, and Wonderfully Large Leaps Of Logic.

A rather apropros piece, this about “email apnea”, courtesy of the Huffington Post, pimped by Robert Scoble, while in turn was of course reflexively promoted by Techmeme (and other news aggregators, possibly). “Apnea” referring to a period of time where one stops breathing, often heard or known as “The Apnea” (see Seinfeld), or the [...]

The Kindle Is Fugly, Awkward, And … Biased Against Lefties?

I haven’t held one yet, but if Robert Scoble could act as my proxy, then I’d have to say that Amazon’s Kindle is one fugly awkward looking piece of … jeez, well, “technology”.  I mean, its flashing screens between pages look like something you’d see in an LCD screen back in the 1980’s — you [...]

BlogWars Are Easily Defused When Meeting In Person

Looks like Arrington and Scoble have buried the hatchet, over their recent tiff regarding PodTech.  Blogwars are boring, I know, but its so funny how easily these things are defused when people actually meet people in person.

A Deep And Flawed Misunderstanding of A-Lists, Blogs, And Social Networks

… is being propagated by Hugh McLeod, who, once again, has decided to raise the egalitarian “Es Gibt Keine Einliste Es gibt keine A-Liste” (Or, “There is no A-list”, for our non-German reading readers). This issue seems to raise its head every few months, and I am continually flabbergasted that people such as Mr. [...]
