So the Duncan Riley saga gets more mysterious…
Now duncanriley.com is off line. Upon clicking through to read Duncan’s post about him leaving, the page failed to load. No prob, I’ll check it out in the Google cache, I figured. Bugger me, if I couldn’t find it there either.
Duncan Riley has dissapeared off the face of [...]
UPDATE: Squash feedback suggests a $10 mil valuation is pretty unlikely and $4 to 5 mil is probably more realistic.
So 2 mill for the B5 boys and girl?
Unfortunately, that figure would be much more useful if Rick Segal of JLA Ventures let us in on the stake they and BrightSpark got for their pound of [...]
My favourite anal-ist material of all time is the Gartner Hype Cycle. In my not-so-humble opinion, it very much reflects the 'hype cycle' that most big technology trends go trough.
It looks like this:
Basically, as a significant technology breaks through it will pick up momentum and it reaches the peak of its buzz stage. Then the [...]
The tech blogosphere has peaked. Definitively. It's reached it's nadir and I'm afraid it's nothing but downhill from here, baby.
You might have noticed that Gabe launched his memeorandum engine into another vertical yesterday - baseball. The reality is, he had to. Since Christmas, tech.memeorandum has been trending downwards. It hasn't been a plummet or anything, [...]
OMG, I've now seen once and for all why the blogosphere is evil.
April 1st, 2006 was either the day the blogosphere killed April Fool's Day or it was the day that April Fool's Day killed the blogosphre. Either way, the carnage wasn't pretty to watch.
Was it me or did every single blog in the universe [...]
Stuart Kennedy is the technology editor of The Australian, a national here newspaper down under. I thought I'd link to Stuart's mirthful recent column Nogging to say, and we meme it if for no other reason than just to make his nog part of the "great online conversation". It's cool, hey?
For some time now, I've pushed the barrow that for blogs to take that next step, where they can perhaps evolve into sustainable, self-funding publishing vendors, the blog platforms must first evolve to enable blogs to provide readers with richer, deeper experiences.
That's finally starting to happen. Over the last 24 hours or so, WordPress.com have [...]
My pet subject of native blogs vs RSS has picked up a bit of momentum lately with these posts from Jeanne Sessum, Shelley Powers and Euan Semple, among others.
As much as I agree with Jeanne and have expressed similar thoughts, I guess in the end, all bloggers have to take responsibility for ramping up their [...]
On the weekend, I posted a little tiny post about the new theme I just adopted. I was absolutely blown away when I logged in on Sunday to find that it was about #6 in the top WordPress.com posts at that time.
I sat there scratching my head trying to work out why? It didn’t have [...]
I’m absolutely intrigued by where Amazon is going with their Amazon Web Service business, which just announced a wholesale online storage service for developers.
Bottom line, is Amazon has pretty much accepted that it’s not going to be able to compete with the likes of Google, Microsoft and Yahoo on a bunch of this stuff. It’s [...]
