  • It's a small world 'o crap, after all

    My current favorite Salon blog is World o’ Crap. Basically, it’s hilarious. It goes after the righties in power without the usual liberal deference and nuance-balancing. Instead, the author offers a full-throated in-your-face style suitable for radio. Sign her up quick! Here’s what had me laughing just now: When she’s not busy being an action…

  • 'Sushi options' memo frenzy

    Back in September, my news aggregator page, Mediajunkie, picked up a link to a Gawker entry on a sushi memo being faxed and emailed around New York.

It’ll happen. And here are some guesses (note: guesses) about what they’ll look like when…

  • Google 'disappearing' UserLand?

    A while back I took Dave Winer to task when he complained that Ev Williams was “disappearing” UserLand by not citing Radio as a major competitor to Blogger. In that context, I didn’t feel that Evan was obliged to rattle off an exhaustive list. However, today Dave is pointing to some evidence that Google is…
