It's Cheaper In The Long Run To Pay For A Professional

It’s Cheaper In The Long Run To Pay For A Professional

By Chris Yeh on August 20, 2013

I firmly believe in the truth of the old saying, “It’s cheaper in the long run to pay for a professional.”  It’s an axiom that applies in nearly any situation, from decide whether or not to attempt to fix your own plumbing problems, to dealing with groupies if you’re a young All-Star. Yet while most […]

Recording versus Experiencing

Recording versus Experiencing

By John Taschek on June 24, 2013

Experiencing versus record keeping – it can’t be a new concept. Are we currently equipped to do both at the same time? Some would argue that continuous recording of life events gets in the way of the experience and prevents you from moving on. It’s not hard to see that when you go to a […]

The Death of the Feed

The Death of the Feed

By Chris Yeh on April 12, 2011

I remember in 2001 when I first heard about RSS. Back then, we still called them weblogs, and there were so few blogs that it was news when a new one started. For example, I distinctly remember reading excitedly about a promising new VC blogger named Jeff Nolan from SAP Ventures. At first, I just […]

Trouble with our Feed

Trouble with our Feed

By Zoli Erdos on January 22, 2011

We’re experiencing trouble with our Feedburner feed – apologies and we certainly hope to get it fixed soon. (Oh, and Googlers who read this are most welcome to chip in to help )

The Power of Twitter in Information Discovery

The Power of Twitter in Information Discovery

By Mark Suster on December 20, 2010

It surprises me how many really smart people I meet still doubt the power of Twitter. It seems the urge to be a naysayer of Twitter is really strong for some.  I think some of this stems from the early days of Twitter when it was presumed that it was a technology to tell people […]

Scoble is Wrong When He Says He is Wrong:-)  Full Feeds Still Rock

Scoble is Wrong When He Says He is Wrong:-) Full Feeds Still Rock

By Zoli Erdos on November 23, 2009

Wow, I’m sensing another TechMeme Storm rising (and a certain analyst would call it a circle j***, but that’s another matter). Robert Scoble says he was wrong when he said In 2006 he wouldn’t use any news aggregator or feeds that aren’t full text. I think the Scobleizer is wrong now that he says he […]

Using Social Networking for Your Startup

Using Social Networking for Your Startup

By Dan Morrill on October 5, 2009

Over the last month we have been working on building in social networking for our startup, and it is just now beginning to draw some attention. This is a good thing as social networking is a series of processes and systems that people need to keep on top of making them work. Here is what […]

Aggregation May Be Dead, But No One Has Told the Advertisers

Aggregation May Be Dead, But No One Has Told the Advertisers

By Ben Kepes on August 26, 2009

Just getting my own 2 cents in on the theme du jour – Zoli’s had his, and Marshall has come back with a blistering post. But anyway… Over on ZDNet, Sam Diaz posted what can only be described as a silly post 9actually one of my blogging heroes Bob Warfield called it just that) in […]

Oh, No, the RSS Debate Again…

Oh, No, the RSS Debate Again…

By Zoli Erdos on August 25, 2009

The “Email is Dead” theme is so last year, this year’s classic is the “RSS is Dead” debate, resurfacing every three months or so. Today it was likely sparked by the Googlers themselves, prompting Sam Diaz @ Between the Lines quickly declare he was no longer using feed readers.   But Marshall Kirkpatrick says he “uses […]

Google Reader Gets Improvements, but Offline is Ignored Again

Google Reader Gets Improvements, but Offline is Ignored Again

By Zoli Erdos on August 13, 2009

Whenever a Google product gets updates, tiny or big, there’s a chorus of praise … which is OK, after all everyone needs link-bait, but what about some critical thinking?  Today’s big new is additional social sharing and “mark as read” controls – they are all useful, you can read the details from any of the […]

How Many Times Can We Bury Bloglines? Google Reader Rules. But How Good is That?

How Many Times Can We Bury Bloglines? Google Reader Rules. But How Good is That?

By Zoli Erdos on August 10, 2009

Image by cambodia4kidsorg via Flickr TechCrunch put Bloglines in their Deadpool today. I think it’s long been there.  I wrote my  R.I.P Bloglines piece months ago, when Bloglines represented a whopping 4% of our feed readers, down from 25% 3 years ago. I declared: There is Only One Feed Reader – Google and I’m afraid […]

Moving Beyond RSS (Maybe)

Moving Beyond RSS (Maybe)

By Guest Authors on July 23, 2009

Something weird is happening with me and RSS. I should preface this by saying that I’m a *classic* late adopter (insert irony here) for a ton of things (I don’t have an iPhone; hell, i don’t CARRY a cell phone 90% of the time), but a semi-early adopter for other things. The things I tend […]

pubsubhubbub … yaba daba do… oh, Yeah, Fast RSS, too

By Zoli Erdos on July 9, 2009

This must be video day.  First the Chrome OS Prank, then the Office 2010 video.  I can’t resist.. or maybe I’m in a light mood, but reading the news on pubsubhubbub all I can say is yaba daba do. Oh, yeah, pubsubhubbub will speed up feeds and all that… serious stuff.  Thanks for watching CloudTube. […]

Bloglines Offline, But Who Cares?  It's Been  Comatose Anyway.

Bloglines Offline, But Who Cares? It's Been Comatose Anyway.

By Zoli Erdos on May 9, 2009

The weekend’s non-news is that feed reader Bloglines is down. Who cares… in fact has anyone noticed it?  The once dominant feed-reader has been on the decline for years, and no, the decline did not start with the sale to Ask, but long before. Ask apparently failed to sell it, does not know what to […]

The Bogus RSS Debate

The Bogus RSS Debate

By Zoli Erdos on May 6, 2009

Why Bogus?  Because it’s not a real debate.  It’s just bombastic statements, and a perfect link-bait – which I admit I’ve just taken. Steve Gillmor no longer uses Google Reader, he gets all the information he wants from Twitter, so he declares RSS dead. He says the race for real-time is already won.   I agree […]
