Internet Identity and Anonymity
So I was reading this piece on design observer about, more or less, the use of anonymous handles on the internet. The author suggests this:
Having a pseudonym is not about, as some argue, building a brand story or mystique; it is about masking identity, which is inherently deceitful. Unless one has a good reason — [...]
Bloggers v. The New York Times
Huh, so long ago (in 2002) David Winer made a bet with the New York Times that 5 years hence blogs would rank higher the the times on google searches for the 5 top news stories of 2007. Well it’s 2007 and someone looked into that.
It turns out that Winer was right (blogs won 3 [...]
PageRank, worth it or not?
UDPATE: Andy Beard posts about more PR craziness. While I think it’s unfortunate and makes PR more unreliable, I still don’t believe that it is worthless - comparing the number of heavily affected sites vs. the total number of sites on the internet, I think only a very tiny portion are really affected. What is [...]
Breakfast Links: US Gov’t Blog, Frost Giants & Lobsters

Review: Bloglines Beta (v. Google Reader)
Now that I’ve switched to Google Reader full time from my half-baked system of Firefox Live Bookmarks (which I still use and love) and a few feeds in my ex-Palm Treo 650’s news reader, I’m interested in online feed readers. I had checked out Bloglines before but was left unimpressed - as a reader it [...]
Metablogging
Since I’ve started blogging, a very personal experience, I’ve begun pondering the deep questions of life. How much traffic am I getting, how do I get more traffic, how’s the feeds doing… you know those basic life questions. It turns out that there is a significant part of the blogging world devoted to those very [...]

Who’s using Bloglines?
So, randomly, I decided to check out Bloglines. Randomly, because I don’t really use an online RSS reader - I use Firefox’s live rss feeds for my desktop and I have a reader app on my Treo that downloads my feeds periodically. I actually discovered Bloglines off that strange Blog Juice calculator that seems to [...]
On the Federated Media/Microsoft incident
Well, the intertubes are abuzzing this morning about this incident involving Microsoft and Om Malik in particular. The problem being the FM has provided Microsofts ad campaign with some small blog posts by their star bloggers for Microsoft’s People Ready campaign. Check out Valleywag’s initial report and the ensuing hubbub.
Normally, I probably wouldn’t post much [...]
