via ReadWriteWeb by Marshall Kirkpatrick on February 26, 2008
The social news space is developing at a mind-boggling pace. Just in the last 48 hours Yahoo! launched its new site Buzz, the increasingly mainstream site Mixx announced more funding and Digg held its first ever town hall meeting. Meanwhile a screenshot of the soon to be aggregated service Tumblr has been leaked, my email inbox is filling up with friend notifications from the $5 million richer...

OpenSocial or OpenGadget?
via ReadWriteWeb by Josh Catone on January 31, 2008
Steve O'Hear (who edits our digital lifestyle blog last100) has an interesting post on his ZDNet blog that questions whether Google's OpenSocial initiative is at all about data portability, or if in fact it really just about widget standardization. O'Hear quotes heavily from a recent article by Marc Canter, who is a strong advocate for open standards and data portability, that ran on...

Yahoo Board To Determine Fate Of Company Today
via TechCrunch by Michael Arrington on February 08, 2008
Sources have indicated to us that Yahoo has scheduled a special board of directors meeting on Friday to determine, effectively, the fate of the company. After a week of hectic negotiating, it’s clear that no one is going to step in with a competing acquisition offer to what Microsoft put on the table last Friday - $31 per share. Softbank, the last real chance for a competing bid, bowed out...

FriendFeed's Google Connection
via Google Blogoscoped by Philipp Lenssen on February 14, 2008
FriendFeed, as blogged about earlier, is a really addictive site, letting you track what people are doing or reading by compiling their various RSS feeds and diggs and status messages and so on (you can apply for a Beta sign-in). What’s interesting to note is that this start-up consists of nothing but ex-Google employees. From their Team page:Ana Yang. “Ana worked on product marketing at...

Beware of Freeconomics
via ReadWriteWeb by Alex Iskold on February 26, 2008
A few weeks ago we published a piece on this blog entitled The Danger of Free, in which we discussed the rise of free - a marketing strategy where digital products are given away. This month's issue of Wired magazine features a cover storyon the topic by editor-in-chief Chris Anderson. The article is a preview of his forthcoming book, called (you guessed it) Free. However in this post we look...

The Media markets
via Seth's Blog by Seth Godin on May 07, 2008
The product they sell is drama. When I went to business school, we spent an entire 90 minute class on how to read the Wall Street Journal. That's a rare treat... being taught how to understand and psyche out the media. With the vast bulk of our news coming online now, it's worth taking a second to look at the way mainstream media markets drama. You know and I know that they're doing...
