From Dan Mitchell in the N.Y. Times: In the blogosphere, the top 10 moments of 2006 tend to involve navel gazing. Kyle Bunch of Blogebrity.com offered his list of the “Top 10 Blogebrities of 2006″ to Laist.com. They included Jason Calacanis, the founder of Weblogs, and Kevin Rose, the founder of Digg.com. At No. 1: Ze […]
I read Chris Pirillo’s recent post about the trouble he’s been having with canceling his Comcast service and remembered Andy’s post about the exact same problem a few months back and our commenter Thomas who said the same thing happened to him. I remember the big blowup over the guy who recorded his frustrating attempt to […]
Given the recent conversation in the blogosphere about information embargoes, I thought yesterday’s slip-up by the Edwards campaign was rather hilarious. Launching a presidential campaign website a day early was one heck of a way to break down the command and control barriers of a presidential campaign, even if it was an accident. This time around, […]
As most of you know PRWeb is a frequent sponsor of our conferences. When I met Joe Beaulaurier at the last conference, I had to gush about just how helpful PRWeb had been. Also joining us for the party is Monster Cable, which makes many different kinds of high quality consumer electronics. They’re just getting into […]
If there’s one thing we can be accused of here at the Blog Business Summit, it’s that we’re crazy about blogs. But blog and blog marketing alone do not determine the success or failure of a product. After all, not everyone reads blogs on a regular basis. And while a growing number of people rely […]
I’ve become pretty anal about making sure my HTML validates. So when something throws my code out of alignment, it irritates me. As many people have mentioned before, clean code is one of the top reasons why blogs do better than traditional websites in the great race to the top of the search engine results page. […]
Merry Christmas from Kim and an Operating Thetan Level III Santa. Published by Kim MorganContinue reading: A Sunset Gun Christmas
I love Christmas and I love Santa but really, Santa Claus is inherently creepy. Any guy that knows when you’ve been sleeping, when you’ve been awake and when you’ve been bad or good is going to create a little tension in your life. And though we usually think of Santa as that jolly old fat […]
I found these on Glunp and I am now in a state of shock - I was aware that Paris Hilton has not much of an education background but I did not believe the she is deep underground in the education level . Just try to read the letters - If you have enough […]
I know I’m late to the game on this one. There’s only so much blogging a girl can do when she’s frantically preparing for an upcoming blogger extravaganza. But despite my tardiness to post about it, I’m pretty pleased that we’re moving toward a best practice of full disclosure. Honestly, I don’t see it hurting advertisers […]
“Ha ha ha, you Gawker commenters are hilarious!” or “ha ha, I can’t believe you guys are doing our work for us, and not even getting paid (meagerly) for it!”? The true meaning of Gawker’s holiday video-gram. You be the judge. In other Gawknews — do you love reading Gawker, but wish their easy-on-the-eyes clean, sparse […]

In my opinion…. she is not a beautiful girl - just an ordinary woman. She does not have anything special to show , maybe except her breaths . Recently she was wondering why men were not so excited when she shoot naked with Keira in Vanity Fair Magazine. She got the “shock off […]
JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE and SAM MENDES had better watch their backs.Their lovers CAMERON DIAZ and KATE WINSLET look rather cozy as they pose together on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar magazine. The stunning actresses - who co-starred in festive rom-com The Holiday - got up close and personal for the glamorous shoot. The pair are wearing matching deep […]

It is with a heavy heart that I post that a true blogosphere hero has passed away. George Budabin was the father of one of my favorite bloggers, Andru Edwards of GearLive. I met Andru at the last conference. He is a man of remarkable character and integrity, traits whose development he credits to his father. […]
Our friends over at Broadclip have decided to sponsor the awesome party we’re throwing in Las Vegas. Their service sounds pretty cool, so I’m looking forward to checking it out. It will record unlimited television shows and put them on your iPod. No need to download from iTunes, no need to TiVo. Obviously, the potential drawback […]
Kevin O’Keefe, one of the legal eagles at our last conference has posted about the new Blogger beta from Google. He says that it’s not professional enough for law firms. I agree, and I’m prepared to go even further. Blogger is great for personal blogs. I used to use it for my personal blog long ago […]
KUOW is doing a call-in show about social media from 1:00pm to 2:00pm P.S.T. If you’re in the Seattle area, it’s 94.9 FM. or you can listen online. If you want to call in and talk to Ross, the number is 1-800-289-5869. Ross asked whether the blogosphere and social media were just evolutionary, a so-called “CB […]
Steve is always telling me that “brand is what people say about you when you’re not around.” Of course, this begs the question, “is it still brand if you’re paying attention?” Obviously, I’m being silly. If anything, knowing what people are saying about you when they think you’re not around empowers your brand more than anything […]

We’ve been many many articles about Britney Spears so far but I have never, I mean NEVER seen her in a uglier dress as in the following photos. She is absolutely dementias in the worst possibly way. No comments - the pictures talk for themselves: Update: It seems that this is an old dress of hers […]
I felt the need to at least pay lip service to Time’s most recent ‘person of the year’ announcement. I won’t spend a million words talking about an article that has already received a great deal of commentary from the blogosphere. I doubt I could say anything original about the article anyway. But if you hadn’t […]
How much skinner does she want to be? What use would she obtain from this? I don’t think that a walking stick would be a nice picture She says: “I have curves, but I don’t really like them. I wish I was skinnier and taller.” Duaghhhhh.. the curves are all the beauty of it. Tags: Jessica, […] Published by […]
I’ve been suffering from terrible insomnia. In honor of my frequent affliction, I just re-watched one of my favorite films, Erik Skjoldbjaerg’s "Insomnia," the original and better picture (Christopher Nolan re-made it with Al Pacino and Robin Williams) available in a terrific Criterion edition. Not only does the movie put me in touch with my […]

MARIAH CAREY has always been a bit of a fruit loop – and her unique way of celebrating Christmas only reinforces that view.The ditzy diva says she loves nothing more than stripping off and rolling around in the snow on December 25. And she claims it’s all part of the festive traditions in Aspen in the […]
Mike Walker of the National Enquirer revealed on the Howard Stern Show that the cuts on Lindsay Lohan’s wrists were not from a “fall into some bushes,” as she claimed last month, but were self-inflicted from a butter knife: Lindsay Lohan has some cuts on her wrist and they are apparently self inflicted. Some of her […]
