Our little tech blog network keeps growing - just last month, we welcomed social media blogger SheGeeks to Grand Effect. And now, we’re welcoming not one, but two awesome bloggers to our network: MG Siegler of ParisLemon and Frederic Lardinois of The Last Podcast. Both bloggers provide insightful looks at tech, new media, web […]

As I mentioned, sometimes it’s hard to keep up with all the things I’ve been wanting to blog about, so I decided that I would give my Firefox browser a break from having to keep all those tabs open and I’d just one-off everything via a link list. I know, not as good as a […]

Social media maven, Corvida (who, by the way has a new URL: http://shegeeks.net/, learn why here) twittered to me today about gReader comments.

Go figure. Now that everyone comments on FriendFeed, there’s a better way to do blog commenting: Disqus. This service provides an improved blog management system for your blog, whether it’s WordPress, MovableType, Tumblr, Blogger, or TypePad.

I was just saying how I could barely wait for the FriendFeed WordPress plugin, and, like an answer to my prayers, Glenn went ahead and released it. Now, be warned this is an early beta. It may have bugs. It might break. But, uh…I don’t care! I must have it. Downloaded it. Installed it. […]

I just saw on Mashable that I’m getting credit (or blame?) for starting the whole "The Conversation Has Left the Blogosphere" discussion regarding FriendFeed, but they note that it was also Allen Stern on CenterNetworks who helped push the discussion forward with his blog post on the topic which generated a pretty big FriendFeed […]

File this under “why didn’t I think of this sooner?” - I’ve just added a FriendFeed Comments widget to my blog (see sidebar to the right, beside Recent Comments). In lieu of an actual Wordpress plugin, a FriendFeed comments widget will help me and my readers keep tabs on my blog’s activity on FriendFeed […]

Yesterday, I wrote an article on Read Write Web entitled "The Conversation Has Left the Blogosphere" about all the various ways the new lifestreaming and aggregating services have moved the conversation off of blogs and onto FriendFeeds and Twitter and the like. (Follow the conversation here on Techmeme. The post was inspired by Jason […]
