Transparency always comes at a price.  Normally the price is honesty and integrity, but sometimes it can come in the form of justice and wrath.  While following along with Twitter today, Anil Dash of Six Apart provided a link to a post by Adam Kuban at the Serious Eats blog that comments on an article […]

After watching the story unfold about the blog post that appeared on Digg that was dugg over 15,000 times and appeared on page one of Digg.  The Digg Effect as it has become known is a phrase given when this phenomena occurs.  Many times if a story becomes popular enough it will appear on page […]

After looking back on the time that I first was posted, my own initial reactions, the people I have spoken to and the people I have read has given me an overall perspective on this debacle. I call it a debacle because it is a classic example of the power of blogs, the power of […]

I was recently speaking with my friend Ben about blogs and sponsorship and I was inspired by Ben to write this post following a post he wrote about sponsors and blogs.   I am taking his good advice and making it more on the extreme side of blog sponsorship.  After all we all would like […]
