Jason Calacanis, who rose to fame on his blog (and blog company) has stopped blogging. He’s now sending out an e-mail missive to a select few. As he explains it in his first missive:

Zendesk gets it.
They have drunk the 37signals Kool Aid and are now serving up a monthly online subscription-based help desk ticketing system which
is elegant and simple in design
is well-thought-out, with battle-tested features
has key Web 2.0 elements “baked in” that make for “joy of use” and increase efficiency (e.g., tags, smart folders, RSS, built in [...]

Check out this interesting article in today’s International Herald Tribune, on how a protest (against import to South Korea of perceived un-safe U.S. beef) initially ignored by traditional media, snowballed after being covered by citizen journalists on Web 2.0 sites.
This article dovetails with another article on Wired (“Media Death March: Newspaper Ads Tumble” 
reporting that [...]

[UPDATE 17:45 HK time, 11 May: Matt Mullenweg, founder of Automattic Inc., the company behind WordPress.com, just wrote a comment to my post here that the down-time of a few hours ago was due to a fire in a data center. This downtime in the middle of the day in Asia for long periods of [...]

Dion Hinchcliffe posted this excellent up-to-date diagram and accompanying text on “Tips for Building Next Generation Web 2.0 Applications”, in preparation for a talk he’s giving at the Web 2.0 Expo in San Francisco 22-25 April. Given this teaser and preview, the talk seems it would be well worth catching (either live or hopefully posted [...]

Amazon’s cross-selling engine alerted me to this book, Groudswell: Winning in a World Transformed By Social Technologies, by Charlene Li and Josh Bernoff, available on Amazon 21 April 2008.

I read this book review on nine recent books on blogs by Sarah Boxer, on the plane to Beijing a couple weeks ago, in the (gloriously newsprint) New York Review of Books. It puts blogs in their social, intellectual and historical context, explaining how they’re different from other forms of writing and their social impact. [...]

Ok, so I thought I’d stumbled, via Google Blog Search, on an interesting blog “Guerilla Cinema: Digital Filmmaking News and Technology“. But it’s not a real blog! Somebody set this up to make money (via Google AdSense), but it’s run by ‘bots (i.e. “web robots” not humans. And so the posts are either some sort [...]
