Some Random Monday Night Thoughts

June 2, 2008 |

I’m looking at re-designing the layout for the blog, but every time I come up with something half-way nice, I just realize that I still like the current layout better. Maybe I’m too conservative.

I’m also working on a slightly different blog, but I’m having DNS issues with getting the domain transferred and these things tend to take a while…

I really like what Duncan Riley is doing over at the Inquistir. Leaving TechCrunch must have been a hard thing to do, but the writing he is doing for himself is more interesting than anything he used to do at TechCrunch. It also seems like he doesn’t have to stir up controversy anymore (I wonder if that was a marching order from Mike Arrington anyway).

Right now, too much talk on FriendFeed is about Friendfeed… and how many times are we going to discuss whether it is better to leave comments on FF or the blog itself?

Pluck is a bit of a joke – I can’t figure out what it’s advantages are over Jaiku and Twitter – but the interface is pretty. Don’t think it (the interface) would scale well, though (Twitter, of course, with it’s regular downtime, is in danger of becoming a bit of a joke itself…).

Steve Gillmor’s posts on TechCrunch every weekend are almost impossible to parse. Maybe the man is just so much smarter than I am, or he writes these posts while having acid flashbacks… Great comments on that last post, though:

The Twitter hybrid homogeny transcends the marketplace’s device-oriented nomenclature to truly synergize the whole-world-view that so sublimely has been marginalized by the virtual community surrounding the technology Facebook Twitter stack 2.0 collaborative jizzmopper apex.
