Its hard to know if Paid Posting (or sponsored posting) has matured, but its a sure sign when someone like Chris Brogan starts doing it, even if its on a secondary blog.  I was going to write a big thing about this, but its been covered by a great many blogging luminaries already, so I’ll jus...

Not much else to say, other than it is slick and delicious, and unfortuantely only available using Wi-Fi.  I’ll be honest.  I haven’t checked out Joost in months (years?), and they’ve boosted their line up considerably.  Full length movies?  Check.  Anime?  Check.  Music Vid...

There’s been a lot of good debate around the use of Twitter at a time of crisis with the terrorist attacks in #Mumbai.  I think its probably going to be one of those perennial topics any time there’s a crisis until Twitter becomes as mainstream as blogs, although I knew something crosse...

The A-list is dead! Long live the A-list! Long live the — ! … ahem. Guy “I can’t believe somewhat someone bought Truemors” Kawasaki has added yet another subdomain to his endless list of Alltop (what popURLs would be if someone decided to aggregate feeds of all kinds) c...

In what is mostly likely to be the most *douchiest* thing that has ever been written by Jason Calacanis, he now declares blogging “dead”. The funny thing is that this particular meme has some legs under other titles, such as “the evolution of conversation”, or “the furt...
