Postive Blogs on PayPerPost: Paid for by PayPerPost
October 18, 2006 | Comments
Who would have thought… A lot (almost all?) of the posts defending PayPerPost against Jason Calacanis’ views were actually done after PayPerPost offered to pay for them as an ‘op’ to its bloggers. Sad, sad, sad.
Here are a few:
PayPerPost Plotting to Pollute the Blogosphere
Worth a Laugh
PPP - The Bollocks Will Never End
They’ve got it wrong

October 18, 2006 | Comments
Business Week uses the example of Meebo to examine the dark secret of every internet company: they don’t even know their user numbers themselves.
Web Numbers: What’s Real?
The dirty little secret of Silicon Valley is that no one knows exactly who is going where on the Web. That flies in the face of the [...]

Tower Records Closing: Customers Stocking Up on Michael Bolton and Madonna
October 17, 2006 | Comments
Maybe Tower Records is shutting down because the only customers left were people like her (insert your own Office Space yoke after reading this):
Among them was Alyce Dicker who was looking to buy a few of the Madonna compact discs that she doesn’t already have.
Over the years, Dicker has popped into the store about twice [...]

Doc Searls on PayPerPost
October 16, 2006 | Comments
My post on PayPerPost left a number of the PayPerPosters I cited just a little bit irate. Just have a look at their comments on my blog and on their own forum. You know you have hit a nerve if somebody says: “But ofcourse (sic!), we need to do something about this guy!!! Any comments?”

October 15, 2006 | Comments
I can’t access youtube.com right now. Did it go down? It’s down. It’s back up - very slow right now, though
Update: Some diggers are seeing the same thing. Did digg bring down youtube?

Let me give you some biographical data: I am a 29 year old male. Masters degree in English, working towards a Ph.D. Married. No children. Located smack in the middle between Boston and New York.
Because I forgot to charge my iPod, for the first time in months I had to listen to the radio while [...]

Podshow is Upgrading: Don’t Choke!
October 12, 2006 | Comments
If you noticed that all Podshow shows are not loading and showing errors: it’s because podshow.com is upgrading. There is a semi-goofy Cali Lewis video on the homepage.
So they upgrade in the middle of the day? After all the outages in the last few days, I wouldn’t be so sure about that. My guess: something [...]

ReadWriteWeb today features a nice comparison between Digg, Netscape, Newsvine (a personal favorite of mine) and Reddit.
Here are the conclusion:
There are really no surprises here - Digg is the king of social news. It is simple, elegant and very very popular. The question is what will happen going forward? Comparing digg with Netscape, note the [...]
