Tris and I have been Skyping back and forth about the latest post by Kathy Sierra where she discusses death threats among other things that have recently surfaced.  At first I was so shocked I didn’t have words, then I was pissed, and yes I don’t often get pissed.  As I read through the post, [...]

I could not resist the alliteration that title brought to mind when reading John Battelle’s latest post about Steve Ballmer of Microsoft and his recent speech at Stanford.  I had to refer to the quote from Battelle’s post because it made me snort morning coffee through my nose:

And as you piled on staff up there [...]

Jason calls out on one of his favorite whipping boys, PayPerPost:
No one likes to be deceived and PayPerPost’s “disclosure policy” is a total joke. They don’t require folks to place disclosure at the top of the blog posts–which I predict the government will force them to do–but rather have folks put a badge somewhere on [...]

I was reading on GigaOM, that Michael Gartenberg didn’t last at Microsoft and has returned to his rightful (writeful?) place at Jupiter Research which to me seems odd.  Even I can last a little longer than a week at a job.  It takes me that long to remember where the washroom is and where they [...]

It has been irritating me all day like a piece of popcorn caught between my teeth.  No matter how much I ignore the issue it doesn’t seem to go away.  I am of course talking about the now well known email from Ted Murphy, to Gawker Media’s ever popular site Gizmodo.  At first I thought [...]

I have heard Robert Scoble a couple of times this week say that at Microsoft they did research that showed that 3% of people out there went beyond page 1 of search results in their searches performed.  This can be very scary if you are a small business and want to gain customers on the [...]

Robert Scoble announced on his blog today that he is going to be a new father in September.  Congrats to Robert but even more to Maryam.  Robert now can enter into my world as a Daddy Blogger.  Yeah he had Patrick already, but there is nothing like blogging the experience.  I of course got my [...]

As we discussed earlier as our client Freight and Shipping, Inc., has used their new blog marketing program to increase their organic search, more and more companies are using the new social marketing as a way to increase their SEO and the marketing campaigns they are implementing.  Jennifer Jones at Podtech.net has a great interview [...]

Well it looks like the caveman has signed a deal with ABC making my attempt to copy and plagiarize GIECO’s advertising campaign moot.  I wanted so badly to have the caveman tapping away at his keyboard, making fun of Robert Scoble, linkbaiting, Digging, and perhaps even signing up to work for clamshells at PayPerPost!  How [...]

 Dan Farber ran into his friend Dave Winer at the this past week and they discussed/reflected on blogging ten years on.  If you think about it, blogging has come a long way.  Did it take longer than the forming of the Dot Com bubble?  Were we all just a bit wary of pushing it too [...]
