Morning Thoughts
I've been too lazy to write anything of serious substance lately (which can be seen as a good or a bad thing, depending on who you talk to). I did, however, have a few quick thoughts this morning that I thought maybe I could use in place of a full-on

Listening Sans Lyrics

What is Viral Marketing?

T-Shirts and The Long Tail
If I had to boil my interests down to one sentence, it would probably be "The cultural implications of digital technology." I love this stuff. I find it invigorating to think about the larger effects of technology on people: To try to understand what

All My Feeds are Gone
I just signed into Bloglines only to see 0 feeds. Not sure what's going on, hope it's just a temporary problem. This would be a huge deal to me if they lost all my feeds. I trusted them and never thought to back up my OPML file (maybe my own fault),

Blog Paper Proposal
Anyone who reads this site with any regularity will know my position on transparency (I'm all for it). With that said, I'm currently working on a proposal to write a paper on blogging for a cultural studies journal. As I was wrapping up the short pro

Homepage Redesign Reasons
Yeah, so I've been pretty quiet lately. But I like to think I have had good reason. Beyond being busy with work, I've been working on a slight, yet important, homepage redesign. For those of you looking

RSS is NOT TiVo
It's normal to want, often need, to find an analogy to describe something reasonably new (or complex). This is the case with RSS. I first encountered this issue when I was writing my <a href="http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m4021/is_7_26/ai

Beware of Insurgents
There are insurgents in our midst. They are invading our streets and skies and there's no sign they're going anywhere. They're a danger to the institutions we have grown up with and come to know. Before you think I'm getting all Dubya on ya, let m

BK Goes Viral . . . Again
Burger King has a new microsite called Coq Roq. To be completely honest, I haven't spent more than two minutes on it and I probably don't have much to add to this <a href="http://technorati.com/search/www.coqroq.co

Trying to Fit the Net in a Shoebox
I was listening to the radio the other morning (imagine that) and I heard a story about Current TV. I knew the name and that they were targeting 18-34 year-olds, but didn't really know much about it (except for the
