How Not To Blog ?

Sony PSP users with the Wipeout Pure (game) browser hack can use simple PDA functions ;ole memo pad, calendar, contacts and calculator.

Currently, Wippit offers legal music downloads for 29p a track from a 60,000 track library and has an unlimited download plan for ?4.99 a month (~$7.50).

Alan Meckler, Jupiter Media CEO, says, "About 99.99% of all blogs are essentially worthless."

In their estimate would that include their blog, or Alan's blog? I think so. Here's Alan's April 19th entry:

Sleepless in Tokyo

It is near midnight in Tokyo on Tuesday (the posting time of this entry will be incorrect as it is timed with Jupitermedia's servers in Darien, Connecticut USA whereas I am in Tokyo).

I arrived here a few hours ago and had a dinner meeting. Now I am catching up on email and attempting to stay up until 1:00AM so that I can "get onto an Asian sleep pattern." Anyway, I was checking out a bit of history a few minutes ago about the origin of our JupiterWeb properties and came across a 1994 interview in which I believe I created the concept (that is now the rage) of horizontal and vertical Web sites.

Well, isn't that nice...

The purpose of Jupiter Media blogs is to create sales leads, something that adds value for them and them only. By their own definition, they are not a blog. A blog "...is a [w]eb page that serves as a publicly accessible personal journal for an individual".

How could someone that doesn't even know what a weblog is make a claim that, essentially, all weblogs are worthless?

Worth is relative, something that he himself should know.

This is too funny to not mention. It sounds like BS but it seems to be true.

President George Bush was bundled into an underground bunker, Dick Cheney was evacuated to an "undisclosed location" and heavily armed secret servicemen took up defensive positions when a fast-moving cloud scudded towards the White House, it was reported yesterday.

Can you imagine how silly the scene must have looked?

So, the nation is under attack and Bush continues to read a children's book upside down. A dense cloud approaches the White House and there's mayhem. One's expected, the other is unexpected.

Could Evhead's recommendations for running your company on web apps be any worse?

Using Blogger for a company blog and Gmail for company email? C'mon, stupid asses. There is no worse choice for blogs than Blogger. Using Google servers to host your business email? Has anyone ever tried to contact Google for technical support? I guess people assume that Google (which owns Blogger) never has any technical problems because, well, they're Google, dammit!

Manage your business right by managing your business shit yourself.
