I’m Over Here Now
Obviously, there’s been a slowdown of posts here over the last few months. Posting here is going to probably going to remain slow for and maybe get even slower. Lately I’ve been posting over at scottadcox.com for the most part. The posts there are shorter, more snarky, and even less on topic. I’ve had less [...]
Time to Move This Island
Twitter has definitely changed a lot of things for lots of bloggers. To compound matters, Twitter changes things with Facebook too. I’ve been thinking about the best way to handle all three of these things for a while. There are few issues that come up which make it almost impossible to not annoy someone. Usually [...]

Nope, I’m going to get real. I’m thankful for a lot of things most people probably aren’t, so why not list [...]

Veep Watch Advice
The nation seems to be “Veep Watch” crazy today. If it really matters to you that you find out as quickly as possible, let me suggest Twitter. Nothing is a secret for very long on Twitter. If you registered an account and randomly start following 50 people, chances are good that 10-20 will be talking [...]
Twitter “Buys” Summize
The official addition of search–real time search–is definitely going to take Twitter to the next level and offer up monetization possibilities, but at what cost? I don’t expect Twitter to go on commercial free forever, but is summize going to take the spammy stuff we’re already seeing there to the next level too? And how [...]
