Looks like Podshow and Sirius have split.
I say: Big deal. Paul Colligan here has some interesting ideas, though I am not sure I fully agree:
We’ll never know the numbers but I’d bet good cash that Podshow on Sirius sold more satellite radios to Podcasters than Sirius knows. People always support what they help create and [...]
Already known as the greatest genius the blogosphere has every known, Jason Calacanis, the former Editor of Silicon Alley Reporter, who is now going to increase his reach outside of the blogosphere by acting in a feature movie on the dot.com boom in New York in the late 90s, and who is well known for [...]
Michael Arrington of TechCrunch today reports on a new beta version of the AOL portal.
Sadly, there is nothing innovative here – the whole thing looks exactly like the Yahoo! portal. Now I guess one could argue that Yahoo has found the holy grail of portals, but isn’t there somewhere where AOL could innovate?
I think Arrington [...]
Mathew Ingram is asking an interesting question tonight: what is it that makes Internet TV televsion? And how is it different from Internet video?
Ingram recalls a conversation he had with his copy-editor at the Globe and Mail:
“What’s Internet television?” she said. “Is it on TV?” Well, no. “Then what makes it television?” Good question, I [...]
… and nobody really cares or will ever notice. In fact, I still have to meet somebody who actually uses live.com at all, let alone a relatively obscure feature like product search. That’s a shame, because a lot of features on live.com are superior to Google’s (maps.live.com is basically a better Google Earth in your [...]
I had absolutely nothing to say about the strangly large phone vs. email interview ‘debate’ earlier this week. However, I did enjoy Jason Calacanis’ conversation with Fred Vogelstein about print media in the time of blogging and Mike Arrington a lot.
I had not been aware of Calacanis before he joined the now defunct Gillmor Gang [...]
Thanks to Scansafe’s Monthly Global Threat Report for March (link is to the pdf file for February which doesn’t mention blogs), we now know that almost 80% of blog content on the net is “offensive.” According to the article about this on PC World:
The Internet’s blog sites have become overgrown with a variety of npleasant [...]
There has to be some interesting story behind this. There just has to be…
A U.S. Army recruiter in Hackettstown, N.J. is charged with stripping naked, entering a home and surfing Internet pornography sites.
Court records said Jerry Mahaffey, 26, was charged early Saturday morning when police received a call about an intruder bleeding from cuts, the [...]
MSNBC just updated its stylesheet and the page looks really, really bad now.
The new style has a lot of whitespace between the links to stories, which would make sense if their effort was to present less information and for the site to take up more space.
Also, the baby blue text against the white backdrop [...]
Oh yes – we now have our own print magazine – with the aspiration of having a circulation of a quarter million by the end of 2008 (link to pdf media kit).
When I first heard about this, I thought it was a joke. Really – what is a magazine going to do for blogging and [...]
Via ArsTechnica: Amazon is readying its own music download service with DRM-free music:
According to a report
in the UK’s Times Online, Amazon has approached “all the music
majors in the past fortnight” in order to launch its MP3 store in May
but may have some trouble meeting its own deadline. Apple plans to start selling
DRM-free music from [...]
Dave Winer has a great idea for what the news of the future should look like.
I think to some degree (though not for TV news) that is what products like Particls are working towards. A simple, non-intrusive system that learns what is of interest to me and only displays the most relevant items to me [...]
Something smells very fishy about this LinkyLoveArmy idea, though I can’t yet put my finger on it (thanks to NyQuil…). This program is coming from Brett Bumeter of performancing.com.
The LinkyLoveArmy (LLA) is not only a crummy name but it sure seems like yet another system mostly out to game PageRank etc.
Just a few thoughts – [...]
If you know what this is about, you have not only been on the net for too long, but humanity probably never quite looked the same to you after you visited goatse.cx…
