A Brief History of the Last Two Times Newspapers Dealt with Tech

The first agreed upon Newspaper was the Relation aller Fürnemmen und gedenckwürdigen Historien, published in 1605 by Johann Carolus in Strasbourg, not much later than the invention of the Gutenberg Press , somewhere between 1439 and 1450 [...]

A good deal of this has to do with what to do with Newspapers in the Internet ecosystem, and their relationship to their readers, especially as their [...]

A brief Break to talk more on Comments (before I talk about comments)
Image by bartodell.com via Flickr Just For giggles, I found this through AbovetheLaw, the Legal Tabloid. Apparently, the Blawgosphere, as the legal eagles who blog call it, is also going through comment turmoil themselves. This essay on comment tolerance though, was worth a read just to see what to do. Sometimes, we all need a [...]

Growing Pains and Disqus

Image by dfarber via Flickr In Saturday’s WSJ, Cisco Systems CEO John Chambers explains parts of the long term strategy to survive a downturn. One thing that seems to be a theme of the new strategy, beyond the buzzword of the moment, Web 2.0, is their interest in video. It’s their big, open, yet dirty [...]

Consensus-Based Funds, or in which an idea is sketched broadly out
In one of those comments where one never knows quite what the author originally thinks, I had written on Fred Wilson‘s blog, avc.com, Why aren’t there easier ways for average people to invest outside of pooling there money into institutions which then invest for them. Who says I have to like CalPers choices? (if I [...]

Zemanta Part 2- It ain’t (exclusively) your fault- it’s emails.
Image by Tom Raftery via Flickr While others have already established that Zemanta is the essential blogging tool for adding yourself to the blog link cloud of awesomeness, Zemanta for email is leaving me ehhhh and lost for the perfect use.

Ring! Ring! Ring! Government-Phone!
In one of those odd sort of moves that I suspected for a while, Verizon is moving to cut its exclusive contract with cell phone makes (such as LG and RIM) to six months.
