After a long hiatus, Chris Smith (KM guru at A Big Law Firm Who Shall Remain Nameless) is back among us. Good news!

Just experienced a first with TiVo — while watching tonight’s Trading Spaces $100k episode, an ad for the Cadillac SRX. While the ad played, a TiVo message appeared on the screen: “Push thumbs up for more info.” Being me, of course I did (to my wife’s chagrine, who just wanted to watch the show). And…

I’ve written about Feedster before, but this weekend it has really shown its power as a meta-aggregator of any posts that have discussed BloggerCon. Dave Winer has put together a singularly spectactular collection of the leading minds on weblogs in all their various flavors. Here’s the thing: being a conference about blogging, it’s no shock…

This is impressive: in just two weeks, the Clark campaign pulled in $3.5 million, more than 2/3 of which was raised online. Added to Dean’s $5m in the final two weeks and that’s an impressive showing by two “outsiders” in the race. Let’s put this in perspective: as the quarter ended, the Dean and Clark…

Tim Jarrett has great coverage of today’s BloggerCon panel on weblogs in presidential politics: Part I, Part II and Part III.

But still, it’s surprising that the opinion would be expressed so definitively, especially when the facts are so at odds with the opinion. Britt, who’s at BloggerCon, just reported on a comment made by Dave Winer: Dave Winer just said that the Dean…

This really makes you wonder: CIA Leak Also Exposes Agency Front. What was Novak thinking? The name of the CIA front company was broadcast yesterday by Novak, the syndicated journalist who originally identified Plame. Novak, highlighting Wilson’s ties to Democrats, said on CNN that Wilson’s “wife, the CIA employee, gave $1,000 to Gore and she…
