Random Notes

Beth is back blogging at a new locale. Those of you who were at Gnomedex last year know who Beth is, since she spoke. The rest of you will just have to go this year and meet her. (Thanks to Doc for the pointer.)

Speaking of Gnomedex 3, I also see where Scoble’s going to be there this year. He’s been stirring up a bunch of really interesting techie/business stuff over on his blog lately, you should be reading it. I’m still holding out some hope that I’ll make it to Iowa this year, and I’ll get to sit and talk to Robert about some of his ideas. 🙂

Karlin Lillington agrees with me:

“Hmmmm, well, whatever about Google News, it seems to me that a lot of newspapers, magazines, radio and television stations also routinely publish/broadcast items that are basically just rewritten, unquestioned press releases and government statements, which also aren’t clearly distinguished from ‘actual’ news articles…”

Exactly! (link snagged from Dave Winer)

Ok, gotta run, lots of things on my plate today, so I better get to it!
