The new standard for meetings and conferences
via Seth's Blog by Seth Godin on May 18, 2008
... you think a great conference is one where the presenters read a script while showing the audience bullet points, you're wrong. Or if you leave little time for attendees to engage with others, or worse, if you don't provide the levers to make it more likely that others will engage with each other, you're wrong as well. Here's what someone expects if they come to see you on an i...

Microsoft's $240 million not enough to make Facebook Internet Explorer-compatible [Browser Wars]
via Valleywag by Jackson West on July 02, 2008
Facebook's list of supported browsers does not include one that's proven relatively popular (if by hook or by crook) — Microsoft Internet Explorer. As blogger Dan Lewis points out, Microsoft may have invested $240 million in the social network startup, and you'd think that would win them some favors:You know, like maybe a preferential app placement, integration of MS Live Search or...

Turn Your Favorite RSS Feeds into a Newspaper with FeedJournal [Newsreader]
via Lifehacker: by Adam Pash on February 20, 2008
Web application FeedJournal turns your RSS feed(s) of choice into a newspaper-formatted PDF. You can either enjoy the newspaper-ness of the electronic PDF on your computer, or you can print out the paper for some offline, dead-tree reading. FeedJournal probably isn't the best solution for feeds that generally have shorter items (like the main Lifehacker feed), but longer articles (like...

There’s More to Life Than Six Pack Abs
via The Art of Manliness by Brett & Kate McKay on April 24, 2008
Photo by Tanworkboots Men’s magazines are filled with exercise and workout routines designed to give you a chiseled physique. The glossy ads in the magazine showcase the desired result of all this work: a chiseled and ripped body. But what is the end goal of the pursuit of all this muscle?

Kevin Rose pumps his own Apple stock with $200 iPhone rumor [Rumormonger]
via Valleywag by Jackson West on June 01, 2008
Digg founder Kevin Rose is back with another iPhone rumor. This time, the shaggy entrepreneur declares that part of the expected June 9 announcement will be an entry-level model priced at $200. Which jibes with other rumors that Apple and AT&T were considering subsidizing the iPhone, as most other carriers do. Or Apple's just looking to dump unsold stock. Either way, expect the customers...

Ron Paul for President [Endorsement]
via Valleywag by Paul Boutin on February 03, 2008
At Valleywag we're bound by a strong sense of identity politics defined by one issue: pageviews. More views = more attention + more traffic-based bonus pay to keep our breakfast bourbon flowing. And when it comes to pageviews, Ron Paul's always-on boosters put Barack backers and Hill/Billies to shame, shame, shame. McCain can't raise a blip against The Blimp. You think we're...

Blogs beat New York Times 4-1 in five-year contest [Blogging For Dollars]
via Valleywag by Paul Boutin on February 03, 2008
Five years ago, daddy-blogger Dave Winer bet NYT president Martin Nisenholtz that by 2007, blogs would be more relevant sources than the Times in Google search results for the year's top news stories. (Obligatory brag: The bet was my idea.) The Long Now Foundation has handed down its final decision on the bet. The Times came out ahead on the mortgage crisis, but blogs won on the other four...
