Well folks, I have to admit its been tough keeping up two blogs. I have been pretty focused on The Trend Junkie weblog as of late and I am noticing that my content is morphing into similar context (to some degree). I have always kept the two separate and focused Media Mind exclusively on what is happening in online media, marketing, etc.. and the Trend Junkie has mostly been my ramblings and

Pamela points to an interesting post by Jason Calacanis of Weblogs, Inc read this media man's take on the recent acquisition of Bloglines by Ask Jeeves. Opening lines: Congratulations and respect to Mark for having the sense to dump the business now when it has some perceived value. However, I can tell you clearly there is no business model for web-based news readers, and in two years 95-99%

Boing points to Linky a new Mozilla extension that allows for easy tabbed browsing in Firefox:"When you right-click with Linky installed, you get a sub-menu that lets you open a range of selected links in tabs, or all image links in one tab, text-links in tabs, download all links, and so forth. This is great for multipart Web-articles, where the pages are all linked like so: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 -- just

Great article on Robert Scoble, a good insight on Scoble's world for any of you who wonder what the hell he really does for Microsoft. He is a pioneer in the next wave of corporate public relations strategy and operations. Check it out."ROBERT SCOBLE, known in the blogosphere as “the Scobleizer”, is a phenomenon not just because he has had an unusually strange career of late, but because his

This is so cool. Finally, a break in the music licensing arena for podcasts! I have about 3-4 podcasts already produced that I had used non pod-safe music on, simply because I dont have time to make up my own music, and you probably wouldn't want to hear it if I made anyway. That being the case, I have not released any of my podcasts for public consumption, due to the sole reason that I used

Dave Winer points to Feeder today, a unique resource that allows non-technical persons to create and manage their own RSS feeds. As the advent of blogging and podcasting continue to emerge, we see a continuous shift in the technical toolset that is available to the end user. What is really cool is that Feedster supports RSS feeds with enclosures, specifically engineered for podcasting. Good stuff

I am naming today's post after my friend Todd's weblog, only because it is so appropriate! I have been on a GREAT European extravaganza since Thursday night when my plane took off from BWI airport in Baltimore, Maryland USA. My flight got me to London Heathrow Airport around 9:15am, where I promptly hopped a quick flight over to the Netherlands to spend a couple of days in Amsterdam

I have accumulated quite a few invitiations for Gmail. If anyone is interested please leave a comment on the weblog here and I will follow up with you. I have to say, I have been using Gmail for various projects and it has grown on me as a mail client. I have not received one single spam message in my inbox, conversation strings are cool, and the ads really dont bother me at all. Let me know if

Another search entrant. The Webs Biggest. For a great description in detail, Rubel points to Ross Mayfields weblog. "It leverages existing search engines and scrapes the whois database. The spider captures summaries, which is all the engine searches, which gives you easy breadth, but not depth. "

Google has launched a new Video Search tool. Check it out. Looks like it covers mostly recent TV programs that have been indexed plus more.... Pretty cool though, it gives you the run down of what you can expect on the reel during various times, etc...

Interesting clip from Mediapost today: Just one in six search engine users can confidently discern between unbiased natural search results and paid search ads, according to a new report released this week by The Pew Internet & American Life Project. The study, titled "Search Engine Users," found that while most Web users said they trusted, relied on, and were happy with search results, only

I checked this post out on Boing also, I am intruiged with the idea that someone has thought of a P2P (peer to peer) digital telephony network. This is really neat stuff, and you know it will play a place in our future. Scope it.

Caught this on Boing Boing just now, apparently a panel that PEW's queried said some wild things in regards to their search behavior: Cory Doctorow: Pew has just released an amazing-looking study on Internet search behavior. Two factoids from the exec summary left my jaw hanging: Nearly half of searchers use a search engines no more than a few times a week, and two-thirds say they could walk

Mitch Arnowitz points to a great article by Poynteronline on the importance of writing relevant and informative headlines to your posts. I agree its no different than the strategic use of subject lines in email marketing. Good stuff.
