Live From Las Vegas

September 23rd, 2008 at 12:28 pm » Comments (1)

It’s not exactly “Live From Las Vegas”, okay it is actually recorded from Las Vegas, but you can get a listen in on an interview that was done of me while I was out at Blog World and New Media Expo in Las Vegas last weekend. I intend to post some other thoughts on the [...]



Technorati Changing The Way It Does Business

February 29th, 2008 at 10:49 pm » Comments (4)

Technorati has been an icon of the blogosphere since Dave Sifry began the company to track blogs and provide bloggers with statistics and search.  It was the first thing people downloaded to their blogs, and the first part of setting up a blog.  They seem to have lost that celebrity status.  There are so [...]



Startup Companies Making Money From Free

February 20th, 2008 at 4:22 pm » Comments (2)

I have been thinking about the comment left on my post about Blog Talk Radio and their attempt at monetizing their application.  Then I read today over at HipMojo the article about why companies that are basing themselves on ad revenue will fail.  It helped me formulate my own opinion about how companies in the [...]



Blog Talk Radio Learns Monetization and Forces Endorsements

February 15th, 2008 at 4:14 pm » Comments (3)

I am a really big fan of Blog Talk Radio and have met Alan Levy, John Havens, Lisa Padilla, their newest addition, Kris Smith, and have spoken to others in their organization.  They are a bunch of great people.  They have a super application that is easy to use, is free for its users, [...]



Scoble is King Leonidas on the Attack of SEO

August 28th, 2007 at 2:07 pm » Comments (2)

As I finished up the three part video series that Robert Scoble produced, I had to chuckle somewhat at what appeared to be the beginning of a battle not too unlike the recent movie 300 regarding the Xerxes battle with King Leonidas. I have been reading the responses throughout the blogosphere and I have a [...]

Too Many Social Networks Causes Headaches

July 2nd, 2007 at 8:04 pm » Comments (8)

I’ve been hearing of many people getting to the point of overload on the number of social networks they belong to and the number of networks they are following.  I have a handle on the feeling and have experienced the same headaches that many suffer from as a result.
I spent Sunday actually building my [...]



"Content Is King" But There Is More To Blogging

June 20th, 2007 at 2:24 pm » Comments (2)

This week’s radio show that Tris and I did at Blog Talk Radio had a topic that was dear to our hearts. Content in blogging is king, but it is not the only thing there is to blogging. Many people believe that you can set up a blog start putting content on [...]



Another Mediasphere Radio … we must be gluttons for punishment

June 19th, 2007 at 8:53 pm » Comments (1)

Did ya miss us?  I was camping last week so … you didn’t get to hear Jim and I wax poetic, or is that pathetic, about the goings on in social media.
All kidding aside, Jim and I have been doing a lot of thinking about blogging vs writing.  What makes blogging something more than content?
We’re [...]
