So much has already been said about Tim O’Reilly’s “blogging code of conduct“. In fact, the New York Times picks up on the meme and transforms it into a headline grabbing, blogging brand killer entitled ‘A Call for Manners in the World of Nasty Blogs‘. (Further proof that reporters just want headlines and buzz to [...]

Jim Kukral To Speak At PayPerPost Conference With Robert Scoble
Ok, not “with” Robert Scoble on stage at the same time, but “with” him at the event as a speaker. I’ve accepted a speaking gig at the PayPerPost “Postiecon” on June 1 & 2nd, 2007 in Orlando, Florida. DID KUKRAL REALLY JUST SAY WHAT I THINK HE SAID? Yes, I did, and let me tell [...]

It’s Saturday & I Couldn’t Give A Shit About Scoble Pimping PayPerPost
But guess what? Many people apparantely do. The Techmeme coverage proves it. Look, Scoble disclosed it, and you know what? It’s business. He made a business decision based on money.

Jeremy Zawodny Commits Headline Terrorism On Andy Beal
What else are we gonna call it? Honestly, what Jeremy did is the worst thing you can do to someone in the online business, and that is to insinuate negative things, purposely, through a link-bait headline. Case in point. He wrote, and I quote, ‘Andy Beal Spamming MyBlogLog?’. Link. For those of you who don’t [...]
