Guys, this is the real deal here. My boy Paul Bragiel just sent me this press release and since it says FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE it is my responsibility to my 6 Business Logs readers to IMMEDIATELY RELEASE it by quoting from it liberally. San Francisco, Calif. – April 1, 2006 – Meetro, the world leader Read more »
MacBook Pro Chokes On Photoshop Tests
Feb. 23, 2006
In my last entry about Apple’s new MacBook Pro laptop, I noted that even though it’s a first generation machine, it’s probably not the best thing to buy if you spend your days in Photoshop painting pixels. The reasoning behind this is because Adobe Photoshop currently runs in emulation using the Rosetta emulator technology. Adobe Read more »
Guarding The Gates: Web 2.0 Barriers To Entry
Feb. 22, 2006
This post was spawned from a comment left at TechCrunch where the commenter had this to say about Meebo: “I’m still curious how they plan to turn this into an actual business, and how they plan to deal with the non-existent barrier to entry in their space. I wish them the best of luck!” I Read more »
XHTML Semantic Zen
Feb. 7, 2006
The beauty of writing good XHTML is that it relieves me of my normal design duties. Design takes place in the creative side of my brain, whereas XHTML coding fully occupies the rational and logical half. After being mired in Photoshop for days and weeks on end, it’s so nice to debate if something should Read more »
The Domain Name Game
Feb. 6, 2006
For a new company, a good domain name is like an office on Madison Ave. (or the similar San Francisco equivalent!) and if you’re starting your company now or soon, you basically have four choices:
Valleywag Launches
Feb. 2, 2006
Nick Denton’s first foray into the world of tech gossip is now live, and the site is called Valleywag, written by Nick Douglas of Blogebrity. I’m hoping that this blog on blogs is less lame that the dozens of other blog on blogs people have come up with, but we’ll just have to wait and Read more »
Nokia 770 Instead Of A Laptop?
Jan. 24, 2006
I’m a little torn here, so I’m in need of some good comment-based advice — it’s regarding my impending purchase of a laptop, or should I say, a palm-top. I work from home, however I do travel 3-4 times per year to conferences and whatnot, and when I’m there I end up needing something to Read more »
The Next Web
Jan. 18, 2006
Jeffrey Zeldman just wrote a fantastic piece on this “web 2.0″ stuff over at A List Apart. Many people have tried to define “web 2.0″ as social networking, or technology-infused user experiences, or whatever, but to me, “web 2.0″ is this: While the dotcommers were making really cool stuff in the late 90s, younger people Read more »
iWeb-Generated Source Code is Awful
Jan. 12, 2006
My buddy and business partner Colin Devroe drove all the way to New Jersey last night from northern Pennsylvania to purchase iLife ’06. He just used iWeb to put together a little page about his wedding a few years back. The design looks great, except, check out the source code.
MacBook Pro: Not Pro Enough
Jan. 11, 2006
I’m as big of a Mac fan as anybody else, but the new Apple MacBook Pro just doesn’t sit with me as well as I thought it would. I never expected that Apple’s pro-level laptop would be one of the first machines with an Intel chip in it, but I, and many rumor sites, were Read more »
A Digg Acquisition: Running The Numbers
Jan. 10, 2006
My favorite sites right now are Digg.com and Technorati, because between the two I can find 1) weblog posts on any topic, and 2) the most popular tech industry information at any given time. Combined they form a one-two information punch that can answer basically any question I might have, it’s just fantastic. Some people Read more »
Introducing A Few More Rules: 9rules Communities and 9rules Featured Blogs
Jan. 3, 2006
When Paul first pitched me his 9rules idea last March while down in Tampa, I think today was the day that he envisioned. We originally had no homepage, then a homepage with just links, then a homepage with just a big list of sites, then a homepage with sites grouped by tags, and now today Read more »
Flock Scraps It All, Starting Over
Jan. 2, 2006
Normally when you read a blog entry title like “Flock Scraps It All” you’d think it was just troll bait or a joke, but I don’t think it is this time. I just got done reading “…Wanted to Destroy Something Beautiful” by Flocker Chris Messina, and I get the impression that the team is throwing Read more »
2006 Predictions
Dec. 24, 2005
The 2005 year was really big for lots of people and companies, and I think 2006 is going to be even better. Here are my predictions for the upcoming year.
Turning Kinja Around, Web 2.0 Style
Dec. 13, 2005
Kinja is the Nick Denton project from early 2004 that, paraphrased from his own words, didn’t quite make it. It lags behind the other Gawker properties by a hefty amount of traffic and just never got off the ground the way Nick, Meg or the web industry envisioned it would. Denton felt it was a Read more »
