Friday's Bear Hug Camp, a software developer's meetup to discuss Twitter-like "microblogging" services, proved Internet commenters can prickle even the grizzliest Web 2.0 advocate. "Steve Gillmor decided to look at feedback on the Twitter and Identica services," a tipster emailed. "After reading out loud multiple…
PodTech, the video podcast network apparently dedicated to screwing over as many people as possible without actually profiting from it, has dropped so many fresh cowpies that I need to pack OH MY GOD SIX STINKING STORIES into one post, just so I don't overload and nauseate the people who aren't gleefully watching…
What happened to the nice Mike Arrington? We don't pretend to know, but now that the formerly friendly TechCrunch blogger has transformed into Fighting Mike, here's a round-up of his feuds and feuds-to-come.
Everyone knows that TechCrunch editor Michael Arrington had a falling out with tech writer Nick Carr on the Gillmor Gang podcast. But Gang host Steve Gillmor hasn't published that part of the show. (He's released Part 1, which consists of everyone trashing Valleywag. It's cute.) In the meantime, we've deduced how it…
If today's lengthy introduction to the Gillmor Gang didn't explain who Steve Gillmor, Michael Arrington, Nick Carr, and Jason Calacanis are, this simple chart ought to do it. Below are the names, positions, and recent exploits of four highly respected members of the tech industry.
So the weekly podcast "The Gillmor Gang" is in limbo as members Michael Arrington, Steve Gillmor, and Nick Carr fight their personal demons. I'm wondering the same thing you are about this tiff: Who are these guys, what's their problem, and why should I care?
Speaking of Wired Magazine's Wired/Tired/Expired (née Wired/Tired) feature, it's time for another ripoff of that cultural hot-or-not. Today, let's call this feature "waste it or taste it."
While all the happenin', relevant journalists were out at the book party for Wired editor Chris Anderson, ZDNet writer Steve Gillmor was at home shutting down his blog, "InfoRouter" (Alternative title: "An Incoherent Truth").
Once, ZDNet was a respectable outlet for level-headed journalists. Then it gave everyone a blog and every day was Someone-unlocked-the-madhouse Day. Today, for example:
Here's a hit of news for all you crazy-uncle-watchers out there.
Okay, since everyone asked, here's your fanservice. Now geez, Robert Scoble, stop with the booty calls.
The Three Stooges of Silicon Valley found a Shemp. After Michael Arrington spoke at Dave Winer's BloggerCon, the TechCrunch blogger got sucked into Winer's little club — Winer, Marc Canter, and Steve Gillmor.
There's a rumor going 'round that lots of reporters are reading blogs. So apropos of nothing (and because it's the middle of the afternoon and I'm drinking at the House of Shields), the Valley journo circuit needs new rules from now on.
Time for another roundup of the top dogs in tech, with names in bold for easy skimmin':
Blogger Tom Morris does, um, something with OPML or whatnot. But bugger that — he makes clever Silicon Valley comics like this nerdhunt:
Right. I just got around to playing last week's Gillmor Gang tech podcast. It's safe to listen.
Nick Carr, long-time flamebaiter turned linkbaiter, declares Wikipedia dead. (No fair pointing at the very live site!) We can't let Nick be the only one gunning for Steve Gillmor's coroner job. So in the interest of upping our own fake authority, here's Valleywag's table of what's wagged, sagged, and body-bagged.…
Oh, that's too cute. As the creator of this adorable little Steve Gillmor animation said, "Ding dong, everything's dead." Watch or just play the audio of the ZDNet pundit declaring search, Office, and so many other wicked witches, dead under Dorothy's porch.
