Thanks Andy! I just may do that. Best wishes, Marshall.

The Armchair GM guys are great - they built quite a good site and community over there. Congrats to them!

Am I the only one tiring of the constant "pimp" references in popular culture? If it's not misogynistic it's undeniably cliche - is it not? And it really is misogynistic.

Which of those headlines do you see as pointing to liberal politics?? The political ones all look to me like they'd fit in just fine over at Malkin's HotAir.

See also feedfire.com - kinda crude but super fast and easy. I've been using it for a long time.

Re: Is There A War For Your Start Page?

Marshall Kirkpatrick — Mon, 05 Mar 2007 19:09:11 -0000

I like Netvibes but am interested in trying out YourMinis more. I wish everyone supported OPML export, YourMinis does I believe. What I really want is the simple functionality that can be found at OriginalSignal - mark items new since my last visit in a different color. It's a little thing but saves so much time! I haven't found a configurable startpage that will do that for me :(

The Wink guys are some of the nicest in the business, they've got that going for them. That hummer is ridiculous but hey, they are cool cats. Best of luck to them.

Sell the Hummer! Sorry, that was too much. Good luck guys! Wink has some of the nicest people in the business.

Re: Serious Journalism Won't Die as Newsprint Fades

What about Nick Carr's arguement that newspapers subsidized investigative journalism with the ad revenue they made on pop culture fluff content - something that's far less viable with the move towards niche publications online? I think that's an interesting arguement.

Jeff, that's a portfolio to be proud of for sure. Your participation in the conversation in this market is much appreciated as well.
take care,

Mark, I think Kevin Sites is a great example. I wonder though how many situations we'll see like that due to the granularity the web makes possible. I think an arguement could be made that there were so few media sources available in the past that there was a greater imperitive to include fluff and investigation in the same publication. Distribution costs are so low now that pure fluff proliferates. I don't know how much Carr's arguement holds water - I just think it's interesting. I hope he's wrong.

Re: Allth.at Launches Innovative Search Agents App

Marshall Kirkpatrick — Tue, 20 Mar 2007 19:14:38 -0000

Sounds good. If they really are fastest to index, it would be nice if they closed the loop and offered an RSS to IM/SMS feature as well. Duplicate filtering is key too, hope performance is kept up - so many similar services have fallen by the wayside once they fail to make any money.

Well, first couple of tries returned zero search results from google blogsearch when I know there should be some. No error mssg either.

That growth is impressive. You just can't please everyone - this is too simple and other things are too complex! Well, if they can come close to sustaining these kinds of numbers for awhile then users will have spoken for themselves.

Looking at those trackbacks - looks like I got the first critique posted, besided some strange poem about how TC love is too much to handle! Hoo ya - I'm first again! Speaking of being slow to the punch, I think TC's really slowed down since...say December or so! ;) lol

Damn, I really should have thought of that. I should have ripped on my own post "comparing 3 mobile comparison shopping services" but it was such a snoozer when I wrote it that I didn't want to even bring it up again. Hmmmm...I'll try and give it more thought!

I don't know, I always think of monkeys when it comes to eating bananas. Sounds like great natural selection or whatever, to me.

By the way, has anyone seen if this one is up there yet?

Re: Preview of Pageflakes "Flurry" Release

Marshall Kirkpatrick — Thu, 12 Apr 2007 10:52:18 -0000

No Safari = I use Netvibes, but I did just set up a pageflakes page for my girlfriend in Firefox. I don't know which I prefer, but I like this inclusion of a more traditional RSS reader. For hardcore feed reading though, as far as I've seen so far, there's no web based app that can handle the work that NetNewsWire can.

None the less, I'm stoked that SplashCast works with Pageflakes. Go Pageflakes!
