@jayrosen_nyu @jeffjarvis never underestimate the potential Internet cluelessness of a media exec. As it was in 1995, so it may be in 2009
I'm trying to replace Ecco Pro on the Mac. Also: Thinklinkr, a well-implemented web outliner. my post http://www.wordyard.com/2009...
@smithangj thanks. I've heard good things about Scrivener -- will add it to my "try" pile!
@jny2 seems simple to me, Josh. "Read any WSJ article by finding it on Google." Lots of people don't know this but you'd hope Murdoch does.
@jayrosen_nyu Certainly, either way he looks like bad. Question is, is he crafty and duplicitous or just pathetically ignorant?
Apple OSX Migration Assistant just did an astoundingly thorough job of cloning my mac. Thanks, Apple!
@jayrosen_nyu you think Murdoch lied or is he out of touch/clueless about current WSJ-Google behavior?
I started using tabs in 2000 w/Opera but Firefox brought 'em to everyone 5 yrs ago. Happy bday to FF http://arstechnica.com/open-so... (via @mkapor)
@agolis working at home: take just a few minutes each day and do something fun (garden, play guitar, whatever) u cldn't do at office
@Chanders you're right. But it's been going on at least since 1994. Will take 20-30 more years--generations--to go away.
great day of meetings with @benbrown & @spenceke in Austin re @media_bugs. Now: stuck in Long Beach airport, which lacks dinner facilities.
Later today: off to Austin to meet w/MediaBugs developer. Excited to kick the project into high gear!
@steveouting glossy paper? That's like the old one about "big problem newspapers have is smudgy ink"; new ink will solve all problems!
@geodog thanks for coming. And for getting all my jokes and references :-)
Q from @digiphile re @media_bugs last night: how will we grow in today's distributed network? A: do our best to be distributed ourselves!
@lorakolodny fair enough! I wasn't criticizing the institutions themselves, more how 3d parties are describing the ventures...
NYT/WSJ both tout new Bay Area "sections." Good to see. But these are both, more properly, Bay Area *pages," not standalone sections.
Thanks to @agahran for ace tweeting of my UCBerkeley talk last night. Read her today on defn of citizen journalism http://www.contentious.com/2009...
Rudolf Ammann is researching 1998 blogosphere, looking for help filling some gaps in the record: http://tawawa.org/ark...
thanks @sjcobrien for thoughtful column today on "Say Everything" and how innovations happen https://secure.passport.mngint...
Tonight 6 pm UC Berkeley I'm speaking on blogs, journalism, MediaBugs http://www.wordyard.com/2009... Come on over, the bridge is open!
O'Brien: Who invented blogging? Answer: Nobody, really - San Jose Mercury News - http://www.mercurynews.com/busines...
@LizzieWurtzel thanks for that Rand report link. Fascinating stuff. But it's from 2001. Wonder how these trends have evolved since.
And (re @kbandersen exchange) when I say "print will be like live theater" I say it w/love. As former thtr critic. Not a dreadful fate...
Updates on imprisoned Iran "blogfather" Hossein Derakhshan from @cfarivar http://cyrusfarivar.com/blog... and Ethan Zuckerman http://www.ethanzuckerman.com/blog...
@KBAndersen Web won't "kill" print, just kick away its abnormal profit margins, force it into niches. Print will be like live theater.
@jayrosen_nyu very true, though in 1996 the contributors would've been from Table Talk. Same basic idea though!
