I don’t really like to blog about copyright and whatnot much as I think it gets pretty tedious. That said, this stuff the Associated Press is trying to pull is a bit much. Last week it got pissed off that a site called the Drudge Retort was posting links to AP stories with a cut-and-pasted [...]

It’s About Time
I’ve been searching around for quite some time for a Wordpress client for S60 that would let me write and edit blog posts from my mobile. I’m not the only one — Ewan over at SMS Text News even went so far as to engage a developer through Rent-A-Coder or something to try and get [...]

PR Is Still Broken

One person’s privately commented to me that their email has been rendered largely useless thanks to all the PR pitches, [...]
BzzAgent’s Blogging Idea

More on My Nokia N90 Experience
Back before I joined Mobhappy, Andy Abramson of Comunicano was kind enough to ask me to join the Blogger Outreach Program that was
his conception and supported by Nokia. For those of you that haven’t heard about this, what they’ve done (besides make a number of bloggers very happy) is provide top end Nokia phones (right [...]
Ask Nokia About the 770
Paul over at MyPhoneRocks has a new feature on his site that sounds pretty cool. He works at Nokia, and has been trying to figure out how best to take advantage of that for his blog and its readers:
I haven’t been looking for a competitive edge so much as
something that compliments others in a way [...]
Weblogs Inc Sells to AOL for $25 million
Congrats to Rafat Ali for the scoop that Weblogs Inc are selling to the venerable (and vulnerable) AOL for $25 million.
Assuming it’s true, it’s certainly a very fast turnaround from startup to sale – about two years – and Jason Calacanis and team are to be congratulated if they’ve pulled this off. Mark Cuban also [...]
