Brian Carnell on RadioNYT

I will defer my opinion of the NYT being on Radio8 to Brian Carnell, since he's already said it and saves me the typing. ;-)

Brian Carnell: Dave Winer Drops a Stink Bomb

'If City Desk or Blogger or any of his competitors reached such an exclusive partnership with the NYT, Winer would be throwing a royal fit on his web site, complaining about how it locks users into a single vendor (which it does).'

And then:

'Exactly. It's completely contrary to all of Winer's evangelism on this topic. I thought proprietary formats linked to partnership deals were the problem, not the solution.

How is this any different than if Microsoft went to the NYT and said, "hey, we're going to come up with a syndication application and we'll make a deal with you to offer your headlines exclusively in our new, proprietary syndication format."

Yeah, that would go over real well. But Winer does exactly that and nobody seems to notice or care (Doc Searls would have already written a half dozen posts denouncing Microsoft by now).'

Musings

Last weekend, I helped long time friend Brian MacKay set up a weblog on his site. I told him if he posted consistently for at least 5 days I'd link to it. He says he's "finding his voice still" but I think he's doing really well.

Presenting: MacKay's Musings from the Fort

RE: Boo Boo Kitty ….

I knew this would happen. My mom AIM'd me this morning and said:

"such Language on your weblog ;-)

you obviously did NOT like that movie huh ??"

Actually, I LOVED THE MOVIE! It rocked. If you've seen the movie you'd know what I said last night was satirical homage. But if you haven't, well, obviously you're now very confused indeed.

If you like crude movies, Kevin Smith movies, you'll LOVE Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. Laughed from beginning to end.

Bong!
