This week we’ve seen both the release of a new version of Skype—Skype 4.0 Beta 1 for Windows initial release - Skype Garage—and a preview version of Twhirl that includes Seesmic playback—Seesmic Blog: Play Seesmic videos in Twhirl client—while they haven’t been connected previously, that’s exactly what I’m going to do.
Looking at the new Skype, […]

Where is blogging going? Will it last? Is it crashing? I think I’ve been asking, answering these questions as long as I’ve been a pro-blogger (almost four years now). Every year we see it. Heck, I’ve even predicted it, don’t make me try to find the post, but through it all this machine keeps churning—and […]
I think the AP may just have fired the first volley in their own Waterloo (and maybe the MSM as we know it) with their recent policy fiasco. The AP will soon learn that, meh we don’t really need them. News is spreading around the web more freely and with NowPublic on the scene even […]

Last week at Mesh08, Scribblelive joined the ranks of web-based live blogging tools. Interestingly, this one is also out of Toronto like CoverItLive. While, granted, this is brand new and there a more features coming like a widget to embed, I don’t share Download Squad’s (ScribbleLive: Liveblogging doesn’t get much easier - Download Squad) or […]
More and more discussion about FriendFeed of late, and again the subject of the comments left on FriendFeed becoming disconnected from the posts themselves rears its head.
Startup Mentality linked to my post yesterday about FriendFeed becoming my interaction portal, taking the stance of keeping things on your blog:

I got into FriendFeed with most of the other bloggerati some time ago. Frankly, though, I couldn’t get into it. It was just another thing to have to pay attention to. Even when Twhirl let me watch my FriendFeed stream and my Twitter stream, I still didn’t grok it.
In the last few days though, I […]
It’s pretty safe to say that I’ve been doing the pro-blogging bit from the beginning. I’ve seen the beginnings of this “industry” or “new career”. From the corporate blogger, to blogger for hire, to network blogger. I’ve done all of that. As the past (nearly) four years have gone by, every six months or so […]
