There’s an interesting debate brewing around what Robert Scoble describes as the passionates vs the non passionates, or alternatively described as the first adopter/ Crunchmemeosphere vs the rest of the world. Loren Feldman’s contribution is as always directly to the point, and the point remains one of an event horizon of echo within a small statistical group of tech lovers vs the greater community. Multitudinous echoes awoke and died in the distance. . . . ...

In the world of public relations, press management and blogging, an embargo sets a date and time by which a story can be written. Often, the embargo date and time coincides with a press release from the company, a Web site refresh, or the product's availability. Assuming all goes well, an embargo restricts all outlets from publishing a story until all is ready, and assuming multiple parties have been briefed, you can expect a waterfall ...

Every Web 2.0 entrepreneur knows press releases are an outdated phenomenon. It’s something from a different era, when print media were more important than digital media. Nowadays, entrepreneurs blog to get their corporate word out. Scoble and Israel started to preach this evangelic with their Naked Conversations manifest and since then, almost every start-up has been taking their advice for granted. Yakov Sadchikov Yet not every entrepreneur gets blogging right. Some just post articles that ...

I don’t know why I still care. I guess that some small part of me still believes that perhaps Gabe is interested in impartial news and tracking the big stories as opposed to just TechCrunch. However tonight (my time) proves once again how Techmeme is failing the tech community. As I write this, at 9pm AEST, or 4am PDT Saturday, the biggest story by far in the tech and blogging community is Site Meter enabled ...

Die Titelseiten von morgen? Neuartige Nachrichtenseiten erobern die Herzen der internetaffinen Nachrichtenkonsumenten. Wer glaubt, dass es auch in Zukunft eine hierarchisch organisierte Redaktion braucht, um der Gesellschaft ihre wichtigen Themen zu zeigen, sollte aufmerksam weiterlesen. Wo ein Problem, da findet sich im Internet nicht selten eine Lösung. Und angesichts des Dickichts der Blogs und anderer Nachrichtenquellen im Netz gibt es ein gesteigertes Bedürfnis danach, das Chaos und die Unübersichtlichkeit in eine überschaubare Ordnung zu bringen. ...

This one is a real can of worms in more ways than one, but I can’t help myself. I recently came across (as many other people have, judging by my FriendFeed and Google Reader shared items) a piece by Duncan Riley at his new site, Inquisitr, in which he embarked on a fairly extended rant about Techmeme and how he believes he has been slighted by Gabe Rivera and the secret tweaks he makes to ...

Today marks exactly one month since I’ve managed to have a post I’ve written turn into a headline on Techmeme. In the preceding month, the site had 14 headlines, 11 of which I wrote. Since June 29, The Inquisitr has hit Techmeme once, a post JR wrote on July 3, but never since. It’s also just over a month since this new broke, a coincidence perhaps, but unlikely. What I am happy to report is ...

I have read a post by Fred Wilson on his blog initiating a new discussion about what Techmeme sources should be and why Techmeme should include blog comments into account instead of focusing on blog posts (and articles on mainstream media websites) only. Fred not only encourages Gabe Rivera to include comments in the sources but he actually puts the question as "When Will A Comment Be Treated Like A Post On Techmeme?". So it's ...

I received a lot of criticism for my post recently stating my reduction in use of the service Twitter towards other services like Identi.ca and FriendFeed. In a series of personal attacks through both Twitter and the comments on my blog, people called me names, said I was pompous, and almost seemed offended as to my proposal to reduce my use of Twitter in hopes to eventually move away from the service. (Ironically, the discussion ...

Tech bloggers and readers are quite familiar with Techmeme and the site's accompanying leaderboard, which tracks the top 100 sources to the popular news-tracking site over the previous thirty days. Since the leaderboard was initiated, Michael Arrington's TechCrunch has held the top position, accounting for between 5 and 8 percent of all stories. As of Friday night, TechCrunch represented 7.03% of Techmeme's stories in the last 30 days. As a subscriber to the Techmeme Firehose ...

Back in December, the blogging world was struck dumb when Marc Orchant passed away suddenly due to a heart attack. I don’t want to rehash all the details as you can find them elsewhere. Sufficed to say, many tears were shed over his passing. Time heals all wounds, right? No, not quite. Today, GigaOm announced the “acquisition” of mobile gadget site jkOnTheRun. To me, an interesting subplot was the post that James Kendrick from jkOnTheRun ...

One downside of being in a visible leadership position is that you often have a bulls-eye on your back. Sometimes it's from your competition. Sometimes it's from people who feel what you offer isn't benefitting themselves personally, and other times, it can arguably be your biggest fans, who want to change what it is you do to serve their whim of the day. In the tech blogosphere, there is no single blog more influential and ...

The on again off again cold war that Twitter has been having with its development community has been the subject of much discussion over the last few weeks, especially with the news of reduced unauthenticated API calls, and the new integration of Gnip. But even as Twitter is appearing to get its footing, significant damage has already been done to many services that relied on the microblogging service to survive. One of those was the ...

Another day and another post or two to write after reading gawd knows how many feeds or how many refreshed pages on FriendFeed and yet there is nothing interesting at all to write about. Maybe it’s just because its the weekend and there’s absolutely nothing of interest.

About a month ago, I wrote “Why I’m Turning in my Blackberry for an iPhone 3G” and it made its way onto Techmeme. The feedback I’ve received via comments and emails is generally of individual contention. Like me, people are conflicted about the turning in their trusty blackberries for an iPhone. Just today, a reader turned in his new iPhone 3G for his old blackbbery: max Says: i just returned my iphone. you cannot search, ...
