Picked up this nice news yesterday—NowPublic Acquires Truemors—which not only makes Guy happy I’m sure, but I think it adds a nice and interesting facet to NowPublic.
NowPublic is fantastic for expanding local coverage of news and giving people the chance to give their spin on it.
Truemors, of course, is more for those rumours that we’d […]
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 […]
Following Mack Male’s Twitter stream this morning (through the web, ggrrr) I caught his blog post with the announcement of the finalists for the New Media Awards:
Most Promising Company of the Year: * b5media, Toronto * Filemobile, Toronto * Viigo, Toronto—Live from nextMEDIA: 2008 Canadian New Media Award Finalists | Techvibes Blog
Of course all […]
Yes, lots and lots of discussion about FriendFeed this week and weekend. The new rooms feature is getting serious attention and with good reason I think.
I created a room for MapleLeaf 2.0 as a place to discuss Canadian tech (and other techie things), and to make sure no one else grabbed it!
Come on over and […]
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 […]
Another great post started from a tweet. Gabe Rivera posted a link to Ed Bott’s column ranting on the plethora of “me too” posts on Techmeme. The mindless recitation of what other people wrote without adding to the discussion.
And Ed is right.
Techmeme is the Short Attention Span Theater of the blogosphere. It’s an echo chamber. […]
Media coverage on the Internet, and print, is always a hot topic. How do you handle an advertiser who wants coverage after buying a full-page ad?
Some of the comments so far are great. Send us a case study, make sure it’s of value to my readers, is it newsworthy.
Andrew Wee mentioned that in smaller publications […]
I sent my personal congratulations to Dan earlier today, but I had to post about this news as well. If you haven’t heard yet, Dan Farber has been tapped to replace Jai Singh as editor in chief of CNET. This is a bit from his last post at ZDNet today:
I’ve worked on ZDNet for more […]
I saw my friend Shel tonight at the DEMO08 mixer and the first thing he asks me is…”did you hear about my new gig?” Huh? I replied. Not very intelligent, but I’ve been up since 4 AM. Shel showed me his press badge (I have to take a pic of mine, eh?) and it read […]
It’s not often that I find a relevant post on Boing Boing, but then again this one is by Canadian Cory Doctrow:
At issue in Stoddart’s letter is the idea of protecting “Digital Rights Management” anti-copying and use-control systems in law. These systems frequently spy on users and then “phone home” with detailed information about your […]
