What I Want in a News Reader

I have not been using an RSS reader for months. Lately I have been trying to look at my NetNewsWire again, but there are a couple of things that frustrate me.
The first is that it is not easy for me to share items. I used to be able to clip them, but now that NNW [...]

I Miss Blogging

Remember the good old days when you had something to say and you wrote a blog post? If it was a topic you were really hot on it might end up being a few posts. The very act of writing the post would help you form opinions and thoughts. If you were lucky it [...]

Check out TennesseeStartups.com

One of the goals that I have is to help nurture the entrepreneurial spirit in my community. Specifically we have a growing technology community that has some thriving startups (as well as some not-yet-thriving startups). I want to help them work together and promote the city / state as a whole.
That is why I [...]

2008 Really Is The Year of the Editor

On January 3rd I declared that 2008 would be the year of the editor. Around the same time Seth Godin was saying the same kind of thing. Turns out for once that I was right.
Today Gabe Riveria announced that Techmeme would start employing the use of editors to sort through the results of the automated [...]

November Resolutions

So Much Going On

I have been neglecting my blog. With more and more web conversation taking place outside of the “blogosphere”, it is a refrain I am hearing from more and more people. The thing is, people seem to be bummed that their blogs are going neglected. I am thinking this is going to result in a resurgence [...]

What is the Netroots

I have been invited to a meeting about the Netroots in Nashville tonight. I feel honored to be invited and am looking forward to going. The thing is, and this is a little embarrassing to admit, I don’t really know what “Netroots” is.
I mean, I have a feeling for what it is, but I could [...]

Idea Valuation Revisited

It looks like I am going to get an opportunity to revisit the valuation of ideas.
I’m preparing an interview with a guy who blogged (jokingly) about buying new innovative ideas for $0.02 a piece (his “two cents”). Soon he started receiving offers from around the world from wanna-be entrepreneurs hoping to cash in on their [...]

TechCrunch Does Not Have One Million RSS Readers

Michael Arrington has posted that TechCrunch has reached the 1,000,000 subscriber mark on FeedBurner. First off, congrats to TechCrunch; I have never seen someone hit that milestone before.
I don’t know that they really have one million subscribers, but I do know they have at least one… me.
I use NetNewsWire on my laptop and my phone. [...]
