There’s been some buzz recently about CNET’s spin-off site BNET focused on non-tech biz issues. From what I can tell, whitepapers seem to be the main offering of the site although there are a couple of blogs – one from Don Blohowiak on leadership and another penned by Regina M. Miller covering HR. I like the look and format of the site including the colorful comic on the page. But after clicking

Almost every news organization has some sort of streaming video on its site offering up TV-style news. Video clips of news broadcasts aren’t new but there's a shift that’s taking place at online news properties. There’s a growing emphasis on TV-style programming and a trend toward making it available on the homepage with just one click. Recently I posted about the Forbes.com Attaché “videonews

A recent press release from NewsGator announced new customizable RSS readers for media companies and news organizations as a way to private-label their own media platform. The first customer to announce that they will launch branded RSS readers powered by NewsGator's platform is The Denver Post. What's interesting here is that a mainstream news outlet has embraced RSS-based reading and sees it as

Being a Yahoo! loyalist, I was excited to see that the company is celebrating a decade of business. Red Herring posted a piece on the big event with Gartner analyst Allen Wiener commenting on the company's powerful brand. One of my favorite new services has been the Yahoo! RSS feeds, a very smart move on their part. I use it on a regular basis to monitor my clients' competitive landscape, as well

Check out this interview from Jason Dowdell with Nooked CEO Fergus Burns. It's a good source of info on the company with some background info on Burns, a Microsoft alum. Nooked, which specializes in RSS feeds, is leading the way for companies entering the RSS marketing and communications fray. Of particular interest is the new Nooked Directory where you can search for RSS feeds on a specific

It's really encouraging to see people excited about tech magazines again. Forrester's new print publication, the launch of AlwaysOn and the return of Red Herring have a lot of people feeling good again. And why shouldn't they. Punished by a nasty recession, publishers have taken a beating but learned to trim fat, optimize processes and adopt new revenue models in order to stay alive. More

I found so much value in the measurement numbers from Technorati, I just had to flag. In preparation for his speech at Web 2.0, David Sifry (& Co.) analyzed blog activity for the last two years that resulted in some interesting findings. For example, a new blog is created every 7.4 seconds totaling 12,000 new blogs every day. Who knew? I suggest keeping an eye on the "Technorati Tags" - See

It may come as a surprise but legal issues are one of the top concerns that businesses have when it comes to developing and posting content online. The boundaries of what one can say on a blog without disclosing insider data or infringing on corporate guidelines have become a hot topic. Commenting on financials, strategy and/or upcoming products can all land you in hot water. But fear no more.

Ok, this made me laugh out loud. The fact that MS has to unbundle its Media Player from XP in Europe due to recent regulatory agreements, has the company naming it as "Windows XP Reduced Media Edition." See the CNET brief on the subject: "Hey, why not simply call it "LameWare?"

Let's just say that I've recently been motivated. A very stimulating conference called the NEW COMMUNICATIONS FORUM took place this week that brought together several experts on the topic of blogging. Andy Lark gave the keynote that was simply brilliant. Too many individuals to mention now but rest assured that I'll be referring to them in the near future.

The PR tools market continues its consolidation with today's news that Bacon's will acquire Delahaye, the measurement arm of MediaLink. This should delight Bacon's installed customer base since product integration will likely occur in the short term. Joe Mandese of MediaPost provides an excellent persective into the acquisition and touches on the growing adoption of the "marketing mix".

Fujitsu and PARC have teamed up to accelerate new technologies designed for connecting devices over the internet. Building on PARC's "Obje" software the partnership will further ubiquitous computing that will hopefully lead to me being able to find my car keys via the internet. See Michael Singer's article on the Fujitsu/PARC joint effort.
