Live podcasting is the new black

March 24, 2008 – 9:58 am

As I was watching Buzz Out Loud today, I felt eerily comfortable interacting with a podcast.
Maybe it’s because I was watching Leo Laporte for six hours straight yesterday.

Laporte was giving hints about his new project yesterday on air, and it sounds like he is gonna be spending a lot of time in front [...]

Connected to every medium

March 15, 2008 – 11:54 am

For the casual blogger, look how easy it is to post on Tumblr. They separate content types [...]

Take the New York Times quiz every day.

December 8, 2007 – 1:52 pm

If you want to keep up with the world’s news while you are browsing on Facebook, try the NY Times Quiz.

It’s challenging, and only takes a few minutes. They have five multiple-choice questions that are mostly international.
I have to admit that I have another tab open searching Google News. Most of the time, my guesses [...]
