SiteMeter.com Fails to Respond to Customer Outrage!

It has become obvious to me that the people behind Sitemeter are unwilling to respond to the allegations that a significant number of people have brought forth on their planting of third party cookies on their customers website visitors.

Be careful who you take Podcasting advice from!

I was on the phone late last night with a person that attended Podcamp NYC and she said one of the take always she had was that in a session lead by a podcast consultant that said updating ones show at a minimum once a month is ok.

Podcamp NYC Blogging Post Very Light?

I have been watching Technorati all day looking at the Podcamp NYC blogging post and quite frankly I am very disappointed. The number of Blog posts coming out of that event so far has been very light.

Lack of Podcast Developer Community Hurting Podcast Space!

Everyone today wants to beat Apple up for what they have done to the Podcast Section of iTunes. New Podcasters are complaining that listeners can no longer find regular podcasts in iTunes. While I don’t disagree with their comments I do have some thoughts on the matter.

Windows Home Server Beta Analysis

I have been running Windows Home Server now for about a week, and I have to say that my satisfaction level is at about 90%. The install went amazingly well, it took about 90 minutes on a Pentium 4 box that I had stuffed with two 500 gig hard drives.

Landmark news from EMI, DRM free music on iTunes

Today is a day of victory for Fair Use and I applaud EMI’s decision to stop being evil and offering up their entire music catalog DRM free. For the first time in many years we have a business decision that finally makes sense.

Will EMI offer DRM Free Music Today?

Their is significant speculation that EMI is going to announce at 1pm in London that they are going to be allowing a significant portion of their catalog to be distributed DRM free.

Congrats to Dave Winer

I did not get the congratulations out their yesterday but I wanted to congratulate Dave on 10 years of Blogging and I want to thank him for his leadership in Blogging, RSS and Podcasting.
