- Anatomy of a Gesture

- The summer of Facebook

- TechCrunch ignited fireworks all weekend, from TechMeme to the Wall Street Journal and from Washington DC to the United Kingdom.How does the master TechCruncher do it? Should he be emulated?

- Look for Q1, 2007 to be podcast heaven
- Q1, 2007 -- Podcast Heaven! That was a rallying point that emerged from one of the panels I took part in at the first and surely not last Corporate Podcast Summit this week in Redwood City, Calif. The point is that corporate, or B2B, podcasting – where companies use podcasting...

- Back in the USSR
- Nick Carr is truly the gift that keeps on giving. His latest can-opener concerns the alleged Google strategy of converting all reading interfaces to search and keyword (i.e. tagging) interfaces. Nick's genius (I think he is the leader in the post-dvorak world of meme-baiting) is to keep the bile churning...
