Mobile updates to the blog
Yesterday was an interesting experiment on my blog, and a sign of what’s coming. While at the airport, I snapped this picture with my phone:
bq.
Using the phone’s MMS(Multimedia Messaging Service) capabilities, I sent it to “TextAmerica”:http://www.textamerica.com/ which both uploaded it to my photo blog, and, thanks to a little bit of code, also updated [...]
Technorati and CNN
Sifry’s Alerts
Technorati and CNN
A few minutes ago CNN announced that Technorati will be providing real-time analysis of the political blogosphere at next week’s Democratic National Convention. I will be on-site in CNN’s convention broadcast center, along with Mary Hodder, and I’ll be providing regular on-air commentary on what bloggers are saying about politics and the [...]
Get more out of your blog
A number of people have asked for tips on how to get the most out of their weblogs. I’ve written on some topics before, but figured I’d gather my suggestions into one place, and post them here. Note: these tips presume a fair level of technical ability on your part. If this sounds like it’s [...]
Rebecca Romijn
So I saw “this”:http://www.cnn.com/2004/SHOWBIZ/TV/04/12/people.stamos.ap/index.html announcement that Rebecca Romijn-Stamos is about to drop the -Stamos, and my first thought was: Man, “Oliver Willis”:http://www.oliverwillis.com/ will be stoked.
“Indeed.”:http://www.oliverwillis.com/entries/0404/mystique_is_free.html
Perfect Corporate Weblogging Elevator Pitch
“Judith Meskill”:http://www.meskill.net/weblogs/ has set up a “corporate weblogging elevator pitch”:http://socialsoftware.weblogsinc.com/entry/4081088331142865/ contest. “We”:http://www.socialtext.com/ are hosting the collaborative space for the judges to evaluate the pitches; it should be interesting.
I look forward to seeing the entrants: from pitching a former employer on the concept to presenting on the subject at conferences, I’ve discovered that actually getting the [...]
Jazzroots
Jonas Luster riffs on “jazzroots”:http://www.jluster.org/log/d/jazzroots/2004/03/22/jazzroots. I like this:
But grassroots, doesn’t quite cut it for me. What we really have at our hands are Jazzroots. Combining the power of technologies with the dynamics of Jazz. Often unscripted, often just jamming along, and sometimes not very refined, small flares of activism. “Small pieces, loosely joined”, to bastardize [...]
Blogger dinner in Chicago
Care to join a group of smart, attractive, witty, well-connected bloggers for dinner in Chicago? (I’m not saying those traits apply to all of us. We each get to pick two.)
Details: Wednesday, March 24. So far, confirmed to attend: me, “Ernie”:http://ernieattorney.typepad.com/, “Buzz”:http://buzzmodo.typepad.com/, “Jenny”:http://www.theshiftedlibrarian.com/, “Jim”:http://mcgeesmusings.net/index.html, “Dennis”:http://www.denniskennedy.com/blog/, “AKMA”:http://akma.disseminary.org/, and “Jeff”:http://www.lawtechguru.com/. I spoke with Buzz today and I [...]
Josh Marshall: Blogger of the Year
Congratulations are “in order”:http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/week_2004_01_11.html#002418 for Josh Marshall. I’ve known Josh for something like seven years, and his success is entirely deserved. If you’re interested in politics and you’re not reading Josh’s weblog “Talking Points Memo”:http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/, you’re missing out. Editor and Publisher, an old-school journal covering the newspaper industry, added an “award category for bloggers this [...]
Comment spam
Ernie’s “giving up”:http://www.ernietheattorney.net/ernie_the_attorney/2004/01/goodbye_comment.html. David Weinberger’s “about to surrender”:http://www.hyperorg.com/blogger/mtarchive/002345.html. And Ross is saying that “resistance is futile”:http://www.corante.com/many/archives/2004/01/13/comment_spam_solution.php.
Ouch. I was starting to like comments on my blog. I’m getting a few a day, but not the 500 that David’s getting… which makes me oddly jealous. (OK, not really.) In any event, I don’t like Ross’s suggestion of [...]
When blogs hit the big-time
I think David Weinberger’s “thoughts”:http://www.hyperorg.com/blogger/mtarchive/002114.html on what happens when blogs get “really big” are right on. Lots of meat on this post; his thinking is consistent with a lot of what I’ve been thinking regarding blog communications and where things are headed.
Yesterday was a good example of how my blog has changed my communications style. [...]
