I’ve talked about disclosure before. While reading a blog recently it began to sound like one huge advertisement. Between that and the conflicting messages in his entries, I decided it needed a little investigating. Before I get into this:
I am not saying people should stop reading his blog.
I am not implying he is doing something [...]
EDIT: I kept comments closed on this entry because I knew there would be some drama (there always is) every time I say something nice about Dave Winer. He always ends up doing “something”. This time it seems he’s screwing over Rogers Cadenhead, which of course I don’t agree with if it’s true (according to [...]
Robert Scoble wrote an entry stating he unsubscribed from Memeorandum and is back to reading RSS feeds. He also says:
I miss my RSS reading. Reading RSS makes me smarter, not snarkier. Why? Cause I choose who I’m going to read. Pick smart people to read and you’ll get smarter.
Hint, the smartest people in my RSS [...]
Dave Winer asks What is an unconference?:
It’s probably much worse than that. My guess is that if you swapped the people on stage with an equal number chosen at random from the audience, the new panelists would effectively be smarter, because they didn’t have the time to get nervous, to prepare PowerPoint slides, to make [...]
I’ve used pMachine products for years, and yes most of my blogs were ExpressionEngine powered, until recently when I switched back to WordPress. There were two reasons why:
1) Exporting – yes I could create a template but the template would exclude items, important items, like comments.
2) Price increase – it went up from $99.95 to [...]
I’ve written about this before and it’s finally gotten to the point I’ve snapped. You know the quiet snap where one becomes determined to get their way. I merged my blogs together to Not Too Geeky. I love the name and it suits me. I’m a totally geek but I don’t look like one. I [...]
I love the site design on 9Rules Network. It’s colorful but not too busy.
I noticed that many bloggers really don’t do much with themes. I’ve seen more default WordPress installations that ever before. I realize changing the header makes it easy but there are a lot of other themes out there. The other day I [...]
Playing around with WordPress for awhile (for the book) although it’s nice and I would recommend it for some bloggers, I need something a bit more, shall we say “professional” so I’m going to switch back to Expression Engine – if my license is still good.
I won one of the free licenses and I logged [...]
I enjoyed this article in the New York Times. David Greenberg wrote about his experience as a guest blogger. It wasn’t pretty and it was a learning experience for him.
He brought up an interesting point about comments. The author of the blog usually received numerous comments on the blog but when David subbed, he didn’t [...]
