More on the deal. The NY Times has a story Google Deal Ties Company to Weblogs. Internet News reports in with Google Acquires Blog Software Firm. But Google still doesn’t have anything up in their Press Center. And Blogger.com still, oddly, says nothing about the deal. Nor does the old Pyra page. [megnut]

I think this is where Google is headed with their purchase of Pyra. If I remember correctly, Pyra developed a project management package but did not have the resources to develop Blogger and that package so they shelved it. Having weblog (authoring), schedules, a document repository, enterprise search, and RSS feeds makes for a pretty nice package for the enterprise.…

Google, Blogger, and the Stupidity Temptation. Now we see what Google is made of. Google got to be the #1 brand name world-wide, beating Coke and Osama not by out-spending them or by having a catchier jingle. No, they did it the way (frankly) Cluetrain said: by having value and values. Marketing was invented to solve a distribution problem: How…

Overhyping Yahoo’s Latest Money Making Plans. Reuters is all excited about a story concerning Terry Semel’s latest plan to offer Yahoo’s “premium services” for people who have access via another ISP. Just like AOL and MSN. Except… Yahoo really never has been an ISP. Sure, they have their deal now with SBC, but you’ve always been able to access their…

If you only have a nail, every tool looks like a hammer. Like many bloggers I’ve been following the recent debate around Clay Shirky’s Power laws and blogs article with interest. At the same time, Lilia and Denham Gray have been carrying on a blog-conversation about blogs vs. threaded discussions and wikis. Ross Mayfield adds some excellent observations about the…
Nano-publishing and you
Nano-publishing and you Dan Gillmor stopped by to see Nick Denton and the result is a nice piece about the future of nano-publishing. My take is that the opportunities across all media are proliferating rapidly and there is more to the nano-media than just publishing. “Blogging” is becoming a kind of barrier to thinking about the porosity of the barriers…
