Day: December 8, 2003

Just added the Technorati link to the footer of my blog home page. Yes, I’m a lemming. We’ll see if BlogShares ever makes it back, too, so the broken image will resolve once more.

I’ve been reading Vin Crosbie’s posts for about a decade on the online-news mailing list, and his blog for several months. He knows publishing in a digital world. Still, he just made a very big public promise to deliver the business plan for the future of publishing.

There is a lucrative business plan for online publishing in this New Medium. I now know what it is, which is something I couldn’t have stated earlier this year. After the New Year, I plan to publish everything that I know about it. There is a official forum I’ve chosen, which has a mid-January deadline and a publication date of Spring 2004. I’m meanwhile going to cease making conference speeches and cogent public comments about online publishing.

He offers this teaser as explanation for why he and his blog will be quiet for the next several weeks. I’ll be listening, but I guess he’s never heard of underpromise and overdeliver. Should we believe the hype? Vin, don’t disappoint us now!

Just picked up that term from the comments of Jeremy Zawodny’s blog post on 2004 predictions. I certainly keep bookmarks in Safari only as long as it takes me to post them here… which can be several weeks, admittedly. I’ll have to try one of those bookmarklets (Radio Express?) to see if I can make blogging a link as easy as saving it in Safari.

Read Sportscolumn.com for biased views on sports. Uneven columns, but that Philly fan is usually entertaining. Too bad the Eagles will disappoint him once again. Not sure how or why or when, but it will happen.
