Bloggers for Obama: Lemmings for Something Shiny?
Let me take a moment and potentially do something mildly stupid: step my foot into politics. No, I’m not going to pull a Dave Winer on ya and go all political, don’t worry.
We’re in the election season and that means we’re seeing lots of politics online. Since I follow social media, I can [...]
What’s So Great About Toluu?
Warning: The following post will be seen as some as a party foul.
Sometimes I can’t help but wonder if geek bloggers just get excited about everything that comes down the pike or do they really look to see what the value is first. Case in point: Toluu.com.
Now let me be clear: I’m not [...]
Evolution of a Blogger
Today is Memorial Day and I therefore won’t be publishing anything of substance. I’ll be working, of course, but hardly anybody will be reading. So it goes over a holiday weekend. On that note, enjoy the evolution of a blogger. No doubt many have seen this before, but its funny nonetheless.

Life as a Pro Blogger
I am a professional blogger and have been for some time. What I mean by that is that I make my living and pay the bills through my online activities with my blogs. Most bloggers out there are not pro. Many would like to be and are trying to get to that point. But, what [...]
New Blogging 2.0 Paradigm: What Is It?
I saw Louis Gray’s post about Blogging 2.0 Causing Friction with 1.0 and it spoke right to a thought I have been having for the last few days. I sent the link to Rich (who writes for me over on PCMech). This is a compilation of Rich’s remarks from our chat:
The single largest problem with [...]
Twitter Is Killing Itself, Slowly but Surely
OK, Twitter. It is time to get your act together. FriendFeed is abuzz with talk of Twitter outages. Bloggers are even staging Twit-Out, where they will, for a day, boycott Twitter and use FriendFeed exclusively. Bwana may have started the idea, but it spread quickly because bloggers talk and bloggers dig Twitter.
Twit-Out is today (May [...]
Who You Surround Yourself With
I am sitting in my hotel room over in Scottsdale, Arizona at the moment. I am here attending a Launch Masters Retreat at Harris Fellman’s pad. We’re talking internet marketing, chowing on food, working the open bar he has set up, riding around in a Hummer stretch limo and basically hanging out.
Yesterday was the first [...]
Why Do Bloggers Use Mac?
We’ve all been there. We go to a tech conference of some kind. If, for some reason, you wander up to the front of the room and look back, you see a sea of fruit. A bunch of Apple laptops looking back at you with their signature apple logo glowing on the back of the [...]
Debating Disqus - Seems Stupid
I’ve thought about it. I checked out Disqus and pondered the idea of using it for this blog. I see that some other bloggers are using it. But, it is a bit of a scary proposition at this point. Why?
I generated some talk in the last couple days about comment fragmention. There are comments on [...]
No, Links are NOT Dead, Scoble and Gillmore
Yesterday, in the FriendFeed noise pool that I started with my post on FriendFeed, Scoble reacted to my post and ultimately ended up posting a well written response on his blog. That’s great and all, but I noticed (and pointed out to him) that he decided to link to the FriendFeed conversation rather than my [...]
