  • JoeDuck  Yoda says Ballmer Drive Matt Crazy He Does. I'm not as skeptical of the MS zeitgeist. The game is pretty well defined now. MS controls software, Google controls online. Software's still the big ticket item but online is catching up fast. Both companies are trying to position themselves to be the key player in the online space. Google is winning, but MS has a *lot* of money to burn and more time than most people assume before the revenue winds shift against them. Google won't see MS size revenues for at least 3-5 years - a virtual eternity online.

  • JoeDuck  Enjoyed the sentiment of the post, but methinks that picture crosses the line of the news that's fit to print.. I hope you are right that the A list is fading away, though I think that's too optimistic. Link patterns really favor the initial bloggers, and they like to stick together. That said I am a big fan of Scoble and think he has done a lot to bring new people into the mix thanks to the way he links out and produces such a huge volume of content and does not use the strategic, commercially driven linking we find at most of the other top blogs.

  • JoeDuck  ... whether it encourages bloggers to go for the cheap and titillating is the subject of debate Well, maybe a dummy debate. Gawker writers are masters of the cheap and titillating and are paid well to be that. There are flashes of brilliance here and there but we are not talking about a journalistic high road here.

  • JoeDuck  I don't think MS ever lost interest in the deal, correctly assuming the Yahoo board's intransigence would have many unintended consequences that MS could later exploit. MS could hardly have ordered a better surrogate fighter, though he won't come cheap to them. My view is that shareholders - esp big ones - are more pissed at the board than is commonly assumed, and Icahn will win the battle easily.

  • JoeDuck  BoingBoing isn’t the New York Times Thank you Matt for this important reminder. I sure hope I don't confuse these two bastions of journalistic integrity ever again. Blogging standards are starting to look like Google's don't be evil standard = what is right is whatever we say is right.
