- First MISO, then GISMO, next GOAT?
- Awhile back my Irregular chums came up with MISO as the acronym to describe the main enterprise players of the time: Microsoft, IBM, SAP and Oracle. We also quipped that could change to include Google and so with a little creative thought we ended up with GISMO. Last week's Apple...

- Arrington returns
- As Mike reports on his Crunchnotes blog, he's agreed to rejoin the Gillmor Gang. I'm very glad for this turn of events, particularly in light of the large amount of exposure the show has gotten via Valleywag.However, I am dismayed by Nick Douglas;' tactics in his investigation of Mike's alleged...

- As I was saying
- When I met with Dan Farber last week to discuss closing InfoRouter down, we agreed I'd use a last post to both wind up the blog and detail my future plans. Although I'd intended to write this and release it tomorrow Monday it seems appropriate to work on it tonight...

- MuzzleWag
- I finally figured out how to shut down Nick Douglas and Valleywag: I refused to say anything more in IM he posted the last thread this morning but only on the phone, and off the record. So I told him everything I'm going to do next and what I really...

- Reaching the world
- At breakfast yesterday, Mike Arrington made it clear that if I didn't show up at his party, he would take it personally. I made it clear I would but first I wanted him to kick somebody important down or off the list or everyone down the list and insert me...

- Cold Turkey
- I had breakfast with Mike Arrington. He wanted to know why I called him Magic Mike Arrington. I said because everyone knows that everything he touches turns to magic. Funny how that sounds like a dig when it isn't. Anyway Mike has this fabulous dog who's 4 years old and...

- Jason pays attention
- Haven't got time to get into the debate here, but Magic Mike Arrington is wrong to think Calacanis' move smacks of desperation. In fact, Jason is the first to pay for gestures, and he won't be the last. The inversion of the network is validated, and Nick Carr is the...

- Illegible Smile
- I'm about to release the first half of the Bloggercon Gang, recorded at CNET during lunch of the first day, with Doc Searls, Dan Farber, and Jason Calaconis. Jason is a trip and a half, talking as he was then focused on the rollout of the new Netscape and the...

- Vaudeville
- This media showdown is getting really interesting. In no particular order, some comments about some of the players:Mike Arrington -- Why on Earth is he keeping Marshall Kirkpatrick in such a visible position. Nothing against the guy, he's a good writer and a competent reviewer, but he doesn't have a...

- New Morning
- I was gratified to hear from Sun PR that the problem with Sun events invites has been fixed. Apparently I'll now be invited regardless of whether it corresponds to my beat area, which is a good thing because a) I have no beat area and b) I'm not really a...

- All Along the Watchtower
- Where to begin...First, I'm chatting with Dan Farber about what's going on this coming week. He mentions Mashup Camp on Wednesday and Thursday, which I'm registered for, and a Sun announcement on Tuesday, which I'm not. Sun continues to befuddle me: its CEO, Jonathan Schwartz, lists this blog on his...

- A Hamburger Today
- Now that BloggerCon is over, I'm going to start releasing some of the backlog of Attention Deficit Theatre and Gillmor Gangs that have built up. Those who, like me, stayed in bed this morning and listened to the ConCast were treated to a remarkable string of interesting stuff, none of...

- GapingWidget
- A few months ago Hugh Macleod of GapingVoid fame joined the Gillmor Gang. Mike Arrington suggested Hugh produce a widget, and now he's gone and done it, as Mike reports on TechCrunch today. I've linked to Mike directly here so as to annoy him, as thanks for ignoring my request...

- And the Wind Cries Larry
- The last few days have seen a real ramp up of attention/gesture stuff. The combination of Bloggercon and Supernova this week and Gnomedex next week have brought many of the constituents of the so-called Attention Economy into view. One of the incipient players--Jellyfish--are embargoing their story until Monday to take...
