In World of Warcraft I have tons of stuff to do. I can imagine some people complaining their is too much to do. I read an article today about RSS being a burden like email (and unlike Twitter) and I couldn’t help but laugh. Amazing how people place unnecessary burdens upon themselves.

Do I want every blog/site I visit tracked and published anywhere? No. Do I think sites I visit are necessarily worth “mentioning” on a blog/site? No. Am I so lazy that I won’t use something like StumbledUpon or Shared Items or Twitter things that interest me? No. Fred Wilson and I are obviously very different.

I talked about consequences, anticipating the reactions to what you do, karma and change. Those are all entries about the end result of doing something. Let’s talk about why some situations happen in the first place. Swoozie finished a set of videos based on his experience with Sims Online. In Part 1 he explains how [...]

What do you want to write about? This is a common question writers ask. When I start a new project I take a lot of time trying to define what the site is going to be about because changing focus after you have readers might not be an easy thing to do. An example: There [...]

One of the advantages of moving my all of my feeds (yes, that includes Twitter) into my RSS reader (meaning, one spot I completely control and manage), I notice a startling trend.

I must admit that when I first heard about the redesign I wondered if this was another example of a traditional company trying to hop on board with the latest thing (social features). I decided to check it out. When I first visited the site my eyes [...]

Imagine you have a company. You work hard, amass a large following, decide to issue stock shares and try to do your best to run the company properly. How would you feel if you found out that a consortium of investors, with a 21 percent stake in your company, are trying to take over the [...]

Last night I tried explaining Facebook to Justin (the man I’m seeing not my nephew). I repeated what I was told on 9rules, what I read elsewhere and my own experiences. He looked at me patiently waiting for me to get to the good part. He’s heard of it, he’s online, he’s geeky…one would think [...]

Must be nice, sitting on a throne throwing stones at everyone. I’m talking about Uncov. It’s been noted they have a start-up they are not tagging as Web 2.0 called Persai (gotta start distancing yourself from the Web 2.0 term, remember?). What is Persai? Who knows? At first I thought it was a killer RSS [...]
