Jason Calacanis' recent post on web 3.0 caused quite a kerfluffle. But to the blogosphere I say: let us not get bogged down with JDawg or the sweatshop he is trying to pass off as web 3.0; for we know that Jason has, historically speaking, been economical with the Truth. Let us instead work...

NIGHTMARE ALERT: Hillary Clinton is back on the universal healthcare bandwagon. Here is an article from the mockingbirds at the New York Times. Below is an ad from Hillary. Ja6vu6cWWTQ This is why the Democrats are the Dumbocrats: because they are completely ignorant of history; to...

I recently talked about how the RSS feeds on my blog stopped working, effectively going on strike. The short answer regarding the problem is that I was importing too many RSS feeds for my CMS to handle, and it started choking on some of them. Not a big deal, I thought; I could just move...

Sorry folks, but I'm having some trouble with the RSS feeds that get imported into this site, so new news for today. I'm pretty sure I know what the problem is and expect to have it resolved by the end of today (October 2, 2007). In the mean time, why not check out our video archive? Maybe...

A member of the Prison Planet forum points us to a Fox News article ( foxnews.com/story/0,2933,296601,00.html -- sorry, can't link to Fox the nofollow tag]) -- that reminds us that the moratorium on Internet taxes is set to expire on November 1. If the moratorium is not renewed, state and local...

AdvancedOperators wants to know (via Marshall Kirkpatrick). For me, one of the most valuable and underappreciated tools is FeedRinse. It's great for a few reasons: 1. It's free! 2. It helps you remix RSS feeds. While stuff like Yahoo! Pipes and Google Mashup Editor also claim to offer such...

What is a brand? Venture capitalist Will Price recently gave a good definition. He said it has five components: 1. A promise 2. A customer 3. Quality 4. An image 5. A differentiation

If you're in the web services space, you know that there's been lots of whining lately about how things are boring, no game changers are in sight, blah blah blah.... For the most part, I agree with this notion. But let's be optimistic for a moment and look at some web services that are hot,...

If you haven't visited the site in a while, you might not be aware that I've been re-publishing stories that I feel are important; somewhere between 0 and 15 a day, with the goal being as few as possible. The stories I republish include a headline, snippet from the article (with a link to the...

When my colleague and I started working on our business in the fall of 2004, our vision was very blurry. We had only a few guiding lights -- points which we feel are still valid today: 1. Content is going to be free and open licensed -- embracing this principle is essential to building the...

This is getting a lot of buzz on the Internet, and was even reported on by some of the shills in lamestream media. Here's a kid who asks John Kerry a question at a town hall-style meeting. After he asks the question the cops come in and arrest him and taser him. 6bVa6jn4rpE In the...

Probably the part of business I find most challenging is the concept of positioning: knowing who your customer is, what their problem is, and how to package in a way that they can understand it, be satisfied, and you can fulfill your promise. Personally, I am in the business of developing...

EURUSD is reaching all time highs, now getting quoted at 1.3881 from my broker. Breakout traders and cross-market traders, be alert.

If you lived in New York, you heard us today. The Infowarriors. And from now up until September 11, the street actions will be in full effect. Even if you one of the willfully ignorant, you should pay attention to these street actions because they are the basis of what real media 2.0...
