Blogging for the Hell of It, Not Blogging to Stay Relevant

Blogging for the Hell of It, Not Blogging to Stay Relevant

By Mark Suster on January 19, 2015

I used to love blogging. For me it was always a creative outlet. I love sitting down – often in “one take*” like a classic film – and capturing what was on my mind at the moment. What I loved about it was that my thoughts were instantly in the ether, I would get quick […]

Should entrepreneurs blog?

Should entrepreneurs blog?

By Chris Yeh on November 5, 2013

Keith Rabois touched off a mini-Twitter firestorm the other day when he posted a tweet saying, “I don’t know of a single successful CEO or entrepreneur who blogs regularly.”http://bit.ly/1b0gv4VSadly, as I often note, 140 characters isn’t enough for a …

Why Titles Matter a Lot if You’re a Blogger

Why Titles Matter a Lot if You’re a Blogger

By Mark Suster on September 9, 2013

Gabe Rivera wrote a post on why TechMeme is now using its editors to curate titles that appear on its site. Gabe’s post appears first on TechMeme’s website, which must mean Gabe has paid off some TechMeme editors to get his story to rise to the top. I never saw it go out with a […]

The content continuum and why I'm worried about the direction of the online world

The content continuum and why I’m worried about the direction of the online world

By Chris Yeh on September 27, 2012

At the risk of sounding (even more) like a crotchety old man, I feel like the online world is moving in exactly the wrong direction.I would argue that there is a direct correlation between the amount of effort a creator expends and the quality and valu…

Bloggers, wannabes and the Zen of Blogging

Bloggers, wannabes and the Zen of Blogging

By David Terrar on April 20, 2011

Last Thursday I sampled the latest incarnation of the London Bloggers Meetup, as organized by Andy Bargery and friends.  This meetup has been running for years, but it was my first time.  What sparked my interest was a combination of meeting Andy at a Social Medial Week London event in January, the sheer numbers that […]

I’m sticking with Disqus. Here’s Why

I’m sticking with Disqus. Here’s Why

By Mark Suster on March 7, 2011

  I’ve written before about my love for Disqus. I’m not an investor – I just love the product. So now Facebook has a new commenting system. They’ve been around for a while and when they first announced this initiative I knew the day would come when people would start saying, “should I replace Disqus?” […]

Social Media Week London - more out than in

Social Media Week London – more out than in

By David Terrar on February 27, 2011

Earlier this month, starting February 7, Social Media Week ran in 9 cities, with plenty of events running in London.  I watched some of the live streams from Likeminds based events that sounded very good in terms of content although they hit some broadcast problems, kept in touch via the Twitter hashtag and then I […]

Trouble in WordPress Land.  Here’s the Band-Aid

Trouble in WordPress Land. Here’s the Band-Aid

By Zoli Erdos on October 4, 2010

If you run a WordPress blog and can’t get into your Admin Panel today, you’re not alone.  Or to be more specific, you can get in for a second, then the page blanks out.  If you are fast enough to click on a function in that second, you’re lucky – or if you know the […]

Email’s New Freight – Posting to Social Sites

Email’s New Freight – Posting to Social Sites

By Hutch Carpenter on September 30, 2010

This post is a test of something I have not yet tried with wordpress.com: posting by email. It’s meant to be mostly an experiment. But it’s also a realization that in a mobile world, email has a new found importance. Delivering social content payloads. In a separate effort, I’m trying to get things done (GTD!) […]

CloudAve is on WordPress Now

CloudAve is on WordPress Now

By Zoli Erdos on September 5, 2010

We’ve moved.  No, we’re still moving. You can see the evidence all over, we’re still in the middle of a platform move, combined with a facelift, most of which is yet to come.  You may have read about our crowdsourced logo-redesign effort, which is still ongoing, but has not produced the WOW-effect I expected (feel […]

About that Second “S” in SaaS – Awesome Service

About that Second “S” in SaaS – Awesome Service

By Zoli Erdos on June 28, 2010

”There is an app for that” – say the Apple commercials.  “There is a plugin for that” – was my conclusion, while lookin for the rigth tools to move the Enterprise Irregulars blog to WordPress a few months ago.  Seriously.  The WordPress ecosystem is simply amazing, things that a few years ago required messing with […]

Almighty Bloggers Can Fix it All – Fun with Blog Messages

Almighty Bloggers Can Fix it All – Fun with Blog Messages

By Zoli Erdos on April 26, 2010

Image via Wikipedia Reading some of the blog-contact messages makes me wonder who readers think I really am.  One common misconception is when they confuse me for a representative of a company I write about – even when the post is actually quite critical.  How does my ugly experience with HP Technical support prompt a […]

Chartbeat is to Blogs as Google Analytics is to Print Newspapers

Chartbeat is to Blogs as Google Analytics is to Print Newspapers

By Mark Suster on April 19, 2010

What do Google Analytics and print newspapers have in common?  They’re both one day out of date when you read them.  I’ve been using Chartbeat for over a month now to track performance of my blog and I find myself looking at Google Analytics much less these days. In fact, I’m surprised by how antiquated […]
