Mozilla just ensured I won’t use IE8 because it released Ubiquity.
What is it? It’s a box that lets you ask different questions and get answers. It’s sort of like search. But far more powerful. It’s not for non-passionate Internet...

Rocky (my producer) and I are heading off tomorrow to Berlin for the IFA show. This is one of the biggest trade shows in the world, focused on Consumer Electronics. I’m lucky to be traveling (and studying) Stephen Leon. He runs Showstoppers at the...

Today I visited Larry Lessig. He’s the founder of Creative Commons. A professor of law at Stanford University. And does many other things.
He is one of those guys who is just interesting to talk to. Why? Whip smart and has a view of things that...

I just put up a Photosynth of my family room. Unfortunately you need a Windows machine to view it. But, this is a combination of 50 images I made this afternoon with my Canon 5D. It took only a few minutes to upload them all and complete the Photosynth...

If you go to Google and search for “demo of the year” you’ll find my 2006 post about Microsoft’s Photosynth. It was that good. The demo is still among my favorite I’ve ever seen (and I’ve sat through thousands of demos...

Think about something you’ve purchased recently. How did you decide to buy that thing?
In my buying behavior I find that I can split it up into three phases:
1. Need generation. This is what happens when someone shows you something you didn’t...

I’m getting back into using Google Reader. I took a few months off (mostly) because of my fascination with FriendFeed but found that everytime I opened Google Reader I was getting smarter than by reading TechMeme or FriendFeed or Twitter.

Yesterday I did a couple of interviews at Facebook’s headquarters that’ll be up over the next couple of weeks. But in between I stopped at Chris Putnam’s desk. I’ve known him since he was 16, living in Atlanta (he showed me a web...

You saw my last post where I showed how our journalistic resources are being squandered on a sporting event.
But now is time to look into the mirror. Truth is there’s lots of great journalism being done to uncover the important issues of our day...

Look at this photo from the Olympics. I count about 75 photographers, each decked out with a $9,000 (or more expensive) camera and lens (and most of them are carrying several cameras).
This is in a year when tons of journalists are getting laid off.

Yesterday, when I spoke at the New Media Expo I showed off the Google AdWords Keyword tool. Then I asked how many people had used this tool before. At least 1/3rd of the audience didn’t raise their hands. Now this is an audience of professional...

I remember working at a small tech startup back in the mid 1990s. Winnov. We made video capture cards and videoconferencing solutions. I was the director of marketing and I used to think that if only Walt Mossberg or Dan Gillmor (who back then was the...

I just got a note that Qik just shipped into beta on the iPhone. I’ll be testing this out and will let you know what I think. One thing, the quality isn’t expected to be as good as what I get on my Nokia phones for two reasons:
1. The compression...

This is the way I love to learn about a company.
No, not from a PR firm.
No, not from a CEO (or anyone else from the company) calling me up or writing me email.
No, not on some junket.
No, not on stage at Techcrunch 50 or Demo or Under the Radar or some...

I had no idea that when former Senator John Edwards invited me to come along on his plane back in December of 2006 that I would have had a front-row seat to a sex scandal. John Edwards today admitted he had an affair with Rielle Hunter back in 2006.

I read hundreds of blogs. Follow thousands of people on Twitter and FriendFeed. I’m seen as THE poster boy for the Silicon Valley echo chamber. But I don’t see much about Meebo, certainly not even close to the amount of talk that, say, Twitter...

Apple’s Mobile Me just deleted every single item from my Outlook calendar on Windows Vista. Gone. Deleted.
