- The WSJ does an amazing job of collecting Blogger reactions to Bootcamp--then they shoot themselves in the foot by hidding the links to the blogs behind some javascript code!! Would it kill the WSJ to give blogs the credit of a direct link (i.e. the Google Juice!). Also, it's in the best interest of the WSJ to direct link to bloggers because the WSJ would--gulp--come up on Technorati and other reverse link searches. Come on WSJ... you're doing an amazing job participating in the blogosphere (unlike the New York Times which is just leeching off bloggers right now)... take it to the next level WSJ and give a direct link! (Note: I've emailed a bunch of my friends at the WSJ to ask why they don't direct link and they don't know but they are emailing folks in power to encourage them to do so... if you know anyone at the WSJ tell them to link direct in a nice way!).
- Nicholas is going to bring the $100 laptop down to $50. Someone has to do a commercial version of this project... can you imagine a $50 AOL or Google Laptop that came with free Wifi/Dialup--that would be sick.
- Oh snap... Engadget has tags! Lots of tags:helix, mp3, pioneer, portable, radio, recording, review, samsung, sat radio, satellite radio, SatelliteRadio, SatRadio, xm, xm2go
- Question: Should we put tags on the top level of our sites (i.e. calacanis.com and engadget.com) or should we only have them on the permalink pages (i.e. http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/06/motorola-combines-dvr-with-cellphone-for-place-shifting-service/ )???
- The knicks won yesterday and I'm happy... one of 20 happy days I've had this past year. Please God (aka David Stern) make a Fracis or Marbury for KG tradge happen... please God. I never ask you for anything... just this one time. I beg you.
Why doesn't the WSJ direct link to bloggers?; $100 laptop get a price cut; Engadget's got tags!; Knicks get a win

(Page 1 of 1)2. Keep the tags at the top level. Additionally, why did you remove the date and time from the top of your posts?

3. I probably know why WSJ doesn't do direct links. It's a thing dealing with legal, the same reason why N&R here doesn't do linkbacks. While they would love to (and I know the editor here personally), the corporate legal won't let them due to certain things that could happen.
For example: If you posted something, but hated the publication and they linked to you. Then you replaced your posting with a large picture of.. say... "a penis." Even with disclaimers, those offended from the link would then become a liability to the media corporation. We've been fighting the same issue here, and while it's a slow process, I think we're finally chipping away a little bit.
CNN apparently does link back. At least they did to my blog a few days ago.
4. The Wall Street Journal "Best of the Web Today" links out.

They also have a list of "Our Favorite Sites" that includes both MSM and blogs.

5. I admit i am a latecomer, up until a year ago i was excited about the $100 laptop idea. I even spent a day designing alernatives to the very lame, confused design of the S100 laptop. six months ago i wanted to do a mobile phone video festival. After about five minutes of focused thinking about the mobile phones the mobile networks i realized that it is an idea whos day has passed, actually, whos year has passed.
first off the mobile network is twice as large as the interne, penetrates areas where there is no incentive to create networks. Ithas an inherent economy and it is evolving into network centric minicomputer anyway.with some smart design and periferals it could be just as good educational tool and it focuses on the most important aspect of the networked world: communication, exchange collaboration.

How about show/hide tags on the top level, defaulting to hidden, like slower.net?
