MediaRhythm on PayPerPost
October 23, 2006 | 9 Comments
Jordan from MediaRhythm writes the following about PayPerPost. I just feel I need to say a few things about this, as his comments make little sense to me.
I appreciate Jeff’s verve, and certainly, journalists are made and destroyed on account of their credibility. But I don’t think credibility is Colleen’s primary concern. She is building […]

TWIT On Life Support?
October 22, 2006 | 1 Comment
Looks like either Leo Laporte is trying to create some drama/growing audience, or things are really afoul in TWiT land.
From Leo’s blog:
It’s about 80 degrees out - in all likelyhood the last nice day of summer in Northern California - so all the TWiTs decided to play hookey. At the same time. Unfortunately that means […]

Apparently it is time to unveil Crayon, a new company founded by “Joseph Jaffe, veteran communicator Shel Holtz and podcasting pioneer CC Chapman.” For the life of me, though, I can not figure out what this company is really supposed to be besides a marketing company with an office in SecondLife and outside of […]

Jeff Jarvis and Jason Calacanis on PayPerPost
October 22, 2006 | 4 Comments
I keep getting back to PayPerPost, but I hadn’t noticed that Jason Calacanis and Jeff Jarvis had picked up the meme again a few days back. Of course, I couldn’t agree with their positions more.
Jeff Jarvis nicely points out the problem with the system and links to simplekindoflife.com, written by our friend ColleenC.
CollenC, by the […]

The Washington Post today is running an interesting story on DRMed music and the future of DRM. It is not that interesting from the point of view of getting new information, but from the perspective of the regular user, who, until now, has not shown much interest in DRM issues. Articles like these, I think, […]

After the discovery of the two Walmart flogs, PR firm Edelman is now working to estinguish the fires it set for itself. The story was even featured on CNN.com, exposing it to a whole new audience besides bloggers - though arguably and audience that could probably care less. To salvage what is left, the company […]

Edelman, the PR firm behind the “Wal-Marting Across America” blog is also behind two blogs on Working Families for Wal-Mart.
MediaPost.com reports:
One blog appears on the home page of Working Families for Wal-Mart, the allegedly grassroots advocacy group formed by Edelman last December, which is “committed to fostering open and honest dialogue…that

I have taken away all the ads that used to be on this site. The money I made from them was nice, but in the end, I feel much better not having them on here. It also give me a clearer conscience in criticizing PayPerPost and other operatins like it.
Because of this change, I have […]

Robert Scoble talks about the problems with monetizing online video:
Here’s the trouble. Most people I know are getting advertising revenues of between $10 and $40 CPM. That means that for every 1,000 people who visit a Web site, an advertiser is paying somewhere around $10 usually (often less, and in some cases, far less — […]

PayPerPost Ramblings
October 20, 2006 | 2 Comments
Ramblings Of An Undisturbed Mind just picked up on one of my PPP posts. I thought I should comment on it publicly as it exposes some of the problems I have with PPP.
Are you upset bloggers using PPP have made more money in 3 months than you have in 3 years using Adsense? The majority […]

Google released some very good financial figures for Q3 today. Any company that can look to its gross revenue rising 70% and profit rising 92% is probably in good shape. Marshall Kirkpatrick from TechCrunch points out an interesting fact, though:
CEO Eric Schmidt said in the company’s earnings call that the company’s success was based on […]

Back in the dark ages of the internet, installing a […]

Almost missed this one. For those still using IE6, now is the time to upgrade. The built in RSS feedreader might be just the push RSS needed. I will have a review up tomorrow.
