Its quick rise, even by Silicon Valley's overnight standards, has earned it a reputation as arrogant. Check its thin-skinned dictum forbidding employees from speaking to Cnet news reporters because the news service dared to Google the firm's president and print the results."

[画像:A picture named ohRudyIsntThisAFunPlace.jpg]Back in the Bay Area, everyone seems to be getting ready for the Web 2.0 conference, which of course I helped name. Hehe. Anyway, I would love to go but it's probably too close to the Greensboro blogging unconference. What a difference in perspective. Silicon Valley is still mostly about Silicon Valley. Wouldn't it be better if it were more about Greensboro and other cities that are reforming around the technology? How many people at the Web 2.0 conference have even heard of Greensboro, and what's going on there? Wouldn't it be great if the SF Chron and SJ Merc were adopting the technology? When they do, will they proclaim leadership, or will they learn from their North Carolina colleagues? Knowing Silicon Valley (as I do, there's nothing like coming back after being away for 2.5 years) they'll probably think they invented it. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Listening to CNN, they're talking about this great new technology called FTP. Really, no kidding. It's actually older than CNN. What happened to fact checking. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Good morning. It seems New Orleans has been spared the disaster. That's cool, it's a very nice city, and so far has been totally lucky. Knock wood, praise Murphy, seems the luck has held. Permanent link to this item in the archive.
The Blog Herald gets the scoop of the century. This site is finished. You can stop reading. It's now officially irrelevant. What a relief. I was getting tired of all that relevance. Permanent link to this item in the archive.
