@jayrosen_nyu WSJ roundup. "We got a rise out of the blogosphere." Controversy! Yay! Little mention of accuracy complaints, however. |
@jayrosen_nyu gd idea re WSJ. But recall: WSJ is single most prominent Walled Garden paper on Web. "know the live web"? Maybe. Not on it tho |
@chriswebb right, book is just a form. But today producers of such forms (cf. newspapers) sentimentalize the vessel, think can avoud change |
@jimmyguterman hey, thanks. Of course with headlines we used to do "flijt"/ chars w/ 1/2 counts, etc. Twitter'd be fun with that feature :-) |
New Wordyard post: Google Blog Search loses its bearings: Many serious bloggers rely on Google.. http://tinyurl.com/5n28ru |
@stevehamm31 "books" may not survive on paper as objects we pay for. Long-form writing won't vanish. Like short form, may need new biz model |
@simonowens I agree (on messed up Google Blog search) -- just posted on it at wordyard.com |
@mkapor when I started in journalism, had to fit headlines to columns by counting characters. Twitter resurrects this ancient art en masse. |
@ianroke thanks, will try clearing temp files. don't think that's it, though, b/c I've tried w/several diff browsers. Think it's serverside |

I love wordpress 2.7, but why is it suddenly asking me to login again every 5 minutes? haven't changed browser, cookie settings |
Trouble with stopping home delivery a la Detroit Freep http://is.gd/boKY is: so many laid off workers now at home, not gonna buy paper on st |
@dmcar awesome. if it's easy for you why don't you just send me your faves. or one big file. whatever's easy! |
@dmcar hmm, i dunno -- creativity? Inspiration? Perseverance? how many you got? :-) |
Wordpress 2.7 new interface finally lets you use WP for scribbling ideas and managing drafts. Still room to improve, but works well now. Yay |
Just ordered myself new Long Winters DVD thanks to tip from @hotdogsladies http://tinyurl.com/5wjr6m Ha! "viral marketing" works |
@geodog was probly i middle of upgrade of Wordpress when you were hitting site. Took about 15 minutes. Lemme know if u still have problems. |
@Scobleizer didn't interview you 'cause you've told yr story yrself so thoroughly! But I still can :-) And we'll get you copy soon as ready |
Welcome to all my new twitter folk... expect lots of notes on the media meltdown, as well as politics, tech and stuff on my new book |
But on the positive side of the scale, Wordpress 2.7 is -- in my first 5 minutes with it -- a wonderful upgrade. |
