- 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
Web 2.0 debate Podcast
Good debate from down under about Web 2.0....
Oh the pain....
It's so funny because it hurts so much. [ thanks MikeS ]
A-List is nonsense
My old pal Tristan does a great job debunking the myth of the blogging A-List (which redeems him for the insane "value your blog based on inbound links" post :-).
The fact is the top 100 blogs represent < .01% of the traffic in the entire blogosphere... in what other medium do the top 100 artists account for the minority of the work??!?! Chris... any ideas here?!?!
Anyone can break into the "blogging A-list" in about six to 12 months if they a) blog every day and b) have something intelligent to add to the conversation.
Nice job Tristan
