Well, just as time is money, getting the news out there first is gold (at least for news media). I was fascinated by the time line on the breaking of the news about the death of US House of Representative from Washington, Jennifer Dunn. As you can read in this Seattle PI Blog, Live on [...]
Content by day… Looking for meaningfulness
Content brings contentment Being content is synonymous with getting content. In other words, my happiness is relatively linked to the amount I learn in a day (as well as living the love of my family). At the very least, I seek meaning and meaningful conversation. A couple of days ago, over lunch with a bright, [...]
Thinking Blogger Awards Meets Blog Day 2007
Blog Awards It’s August 31st, BLOGDAY. Time to discover some new blogs. First, I would be remiss not to recognize Sarah at St Bloggie de Riviere for putting me up for a Thinking Blogger Award (see rules below)* and whose blog is a regular favorite of mine. Having been tagged, and in a kind of [...]

Get Ready for BlogDay on August 31st
About a month a half ago, I was lucky enough to be given a Thinking Blogger Award from my fellow blogging friend, Sarah. And have been ruminating on who to nominate in accordance with the ‘rules.’ As time runs its course, I have been terribly slow to make the follow-up posting. I have now found [...]

When a blog becomes institutional
I have been a fan of the freakonomics blog for quite some time — a testament to the power of a good book (now available for $17 on amazon, down from $28 list price!) going on line per se. However, the very notion of a blog is up for grabs at this point as this [...]
Commenting on comments – a policy is born
About comment etiquette! I have realized that commenting is not a common practice, at least not my site. That said, on reading the Blog Herald, I thought it appropriate to add a comment policy and suggested guidelines. You will now find at the bottom of the page this blog’s official comment policy (with help from [...]
Full text feeds are better than ha[lf]..te[xt]..
On the good advice of a charming new acquaintance, Jean-Marc, I was sent to the site techdirt.com. And, I immediately found an interesting piece of advice which I thought I would share: when creating feeds, allow for full text feeds. The polemic was initiated after the New York Times signed up the Freakonomics blog and [...]
Why are we here? And the lifecycle of blogs
So, what’s the blog all about? Aside from facing the inimitable existentialist questions about oneself, I have seen a slew of posts on the “why” of blogs and what is it all for? A few observations come to the fore. As cited in Opinionated Marketers, it really depends on your own objectives (fair enough) to [...]
Aggregating Blogs as new form of Journalism
My posting on the Tour de France was picked up by this “Bloggers looking for the straight dope” article in Slate, an online magazine, owned by The Washington Post Company. Again, this is a new form of journalism — picking up on the beat on the ‘net. I’m flattered to have been tagged on this [...]
Clean Slate
Cyber journalism may be taking on a new slant… What if [new age] journalists just spent their time outing the silly things people say and do, behind the slim veil of anonymity, on the net. Take this most recent outing revealed by Lucy Caldwell on Slate via a Facebook entry, in which Rudy Giuliani’s daughter, [...]
