Content is king.
It started with a Tweet by Jeremy Meyers, that said the following:
“Ironically, content about how “Content is King” is not an example of good content.”
I responded with:
“If Content were King, then Pink would have stayed dry.”
I was referring, of course, to Pink’s performance at the Grammy Awards, where she sang partially suspended and More >

Yesterday, I pointed out how Facebook’s automated attempts at peppering me with relevant information had the unintended consequence of creating a virtual seance – connecting with the dead. I don’t really blame Facebook per se, because no one has yet filed to archive Scott’s wall as a memorial account. However, there are still major gaps More >

I was a cardboard-haired teevee news weasel in a previous life. I’ve never regretted leaving, and have no desire to be in a maelstrom today.
Two quick thoughts.
One is about the massive hoax perpetrated on the media yesterday. A group of activists spoofed the identity of the US Chamber of Commerce, and got several news outlets More >

It was time for a new look.
I liked the old look, but there was something about the old “old look” that was missing.

Marketing guru Seth Godin is selling a new “service” to aggregate mentions of a company’s brand. He’s going to aggregate you whether you want it or not, and for a fee he’ll allow you to edit half the page. (Here’s my full commentary on More >

This morning, Geoff Livingston asked me to fill in for his vacationing partner Richard Laermer for this week’s “The El Show” on BlogTalkRadio.
We talked about:
the Age of Experts (who don’t always do their homework)
balancing life with social media
the future of journalism, as it melds with social media
I mentioned Scott Karp and Publishing2 – and got a nice note More >

One of the great things about connecting with others online is the chance to be part of some interesting discussions. Such was the case of a conversation I recently had with Andrew Fowler, one of the principles at Newsvetter in Portland.
He was concerned about the lack of truly relevant information parents were getting about the More >

More than a few people have commented about the new Facebook Lite interface. I will simply add the impressions from a co-worker of mine who is blind.
I suggested it to her this morning as we were discussing social networking, and how difficult some of the navigation can be. I had a hunch that the Lite interface More >

Yesterday, I posted my plea to Tide fans to “Stay Classy” with regards to the upcoming Virginia Tech game.
One of the incoming hits to my site came from Virginia, specifically a site called “Virginia Sites.”
I don’t know who runs and operates the page, but it seems like a harmless resource designed to direct visitors to More >
I was looking forward to sharing many of the projects we’ve been working on at the BlogOrlando conference, but my participation is looking rather shaky for now. I’m leaving up the badge for now, but given the uncertainty of the Atlantic hurricane season, and the certainty of a tighter travel budget, I don’t want to make any promises.
