Link: Convert your site into iPhone app
I love easy. This little deal promises to take your site, presumably through the RSS feed, and turn it into an iPhone app. It’s not open to anyone at the moment, but I applied and I’ll post whatever happens if anything ever does.
Link: The Flickring Mob
I like this. It explains why some things just work, while other things (things that people try to “organize”) don’t. In a recent press release, Bob Conrad and I demonstrated flaws in the Twitter Vote Report, a “grassroots” effort to aggregate problems at polls in the latest election. We both appreciated the effort, but saw that when you take the unorganizable and try to organize it (and mix in the arbitrary following of rules by the organizers themselves) you fail almost before you start. The cause might be noble, but the execution is impossible.
Link: Jarvis on the obsoletion of the interview
Jesus. Where was this when I was looking for it a few months ago? What an outstanding post, and one that I’ve tried to follow after hearing about the actions of those featured in it. As someone who has often sought information that a reporter might use an interview to obtain, I respect fully the idea that talking is overrated. Just freaking send it to me, and it would be great if you also posted it on your own blog, too. Assuming you have one, which is far too infrequent.
Link: This is absolutely hilarious
Nice work.
Link: I laugh at Michael Kinsley
As a blogger and journalism enthusiast, I recognize the kind of criticism and generalization that’s so wrong it’s funny. Fixie Pixies should take note. Also, more on Kinsley and his clueless relationship to blogs from two years ago, including a few Richard Disney appearances.
Link: Pahranagat Valley High School makes Deadspin
Awesome. Pahranagat Valley is not only a really beautiful place, but they can break tackles like no one else. Seriously, was a tackle even made in this game?
Link: Remember the Milk iPhone App
Yeah, they built one. It’s almost as if I tipped them off or something. Except, the app is good for 15 days, then you have to buy the pro account upgrade. Damn. I’m trying it out and hoping I’ll figure out whether I want it or not. It feels like such a big deal, and it’s only $25.
