Wonder what Scoble will do for Podtech I think there's room for improvement. I can't tell you exactly why, but I look at the home page and, honestly, I don't see anything there I care to take the time to listen to. Seeing Steve Rubel's picture reminds me that my older son, who moved to a New York a few weeks ago, will start part-time work in a couple weeks as an IT intern in Edelman's New York office. I wonder how he'll like the office life. He's worked since he was 14, but always at something in retail. I miss him. This can't be good for the laptop
Comments: Sample blog post headline The text of your blog post. Great headline, but that's all I can see Can't link to the Chicago Tribune story because it's gone into by-subscription archives. But isn't this a great headline: 7-11 runs out and buys 261-store White Hen chainWhen are the newspapers going to give up on this paid archives thing? The revenue can't be worth the bad will. They must not realize what a turn-off it is, or more likely (and this is what I believe about most MSM attitudes on online matters), they willfully are blinding themselves to the reaction they are setting up among their customers. Instead of encouraging me to buy the paper newspaper or sign up for the online subscription, it just ticks me off when I run into that "you can't come in here" sign, and every time it happens it ticks me off a little more to the point where I'm building up this big pile of annoyance at big newspapers in general. How can that be a good thing? Later: Oops. I forgot. The Trib's archives are free, but you do have to register and log in, which makes it inconvenient to read a story when somebody links to it. Gillmor Gang dropped from the Sirius lineup Steve Gillmor gets all wistful and stuff on his new blog. (Yeah, I figured I was just being bull-headed in not linking to it.) I'm afraid I have to agree with Joshua Porter in characterizing the gang as cynical -- in its style if not in the content. The overall tone does have that crusty-old-reporters-around-a-poker-table vibe. But I think it's part of what gives the program its authenticity, and I like it, patriarchal though it is. |
