Is Blogging Dead? (Wait: Is It That Time Of Year Again?)

The “is blogging dead” meme (although no one has the chutzpah to call it what it is) rears its interesting head today over at the FastForward Blog — and much like other memes about blogging (there is / is not an A-list, your blog really is / is not a blog if you have / [...]

IzeaFest: In Orlando, on Ted Murphy’s Dime

So, several months ago, when I was blogging (a lot) more, Ted Murphy of PayPerPost Izea fame asked me if I’d like to participate in his yearly IzeaFest, once known as “Posticon”.  I’ve been pretty frank about my opinions about paid postings and at times they haven’t been … well, pretty.

I, Too, Call “BullShit” On Jason Calacanis

Jason Calacanis has decreed that blogging isn’t a personal enough a medium for him, and wants to use an email list to stay in contact with his friends and close associates.  Quoth the ultimo mahalo
“I’m going to try and build a deeper relationship with fewer people … acoustic, something more authentic and something more private. [...]
