  • Call the Blogger: Monitor Mix

    My new favorite blog, from my favorite guitar player. Seriously. Link: NPR: Monitor Mix. Listen to the bridge and transition into the chorus of "Start Together" from "The Hot Rock" someday when you’re driving, and tell me it’s not just a mind-blowing guitar arrangement. Super simple, but dizzying in effect. And, don’t get me started on the drumming either.

  • Dork-term heard in the Wild: Mobisode

    While in a meeting today (with a guy who should know better), i heard the term "mobisode" to refer to a video episode specifically designed to be seen on a mobile phone.

    A) the world doesn’t need video episodes designed specifically to be seen on a mobile phone.
    B) Mobisode is an incredibly irritating new term, though i can’t articulate why, just yet. It made my skin crawl.

    Lesson: Please don’t create or refer to "mobisodes".

  • An Ad Network Powered By Martha Stewart

    Link: Martha Stewart has her own ad network now, huh?. I think this network is probably powered by adify. The economics of this model definitely work in favor of the network owner, as Martha is only paying 35% revshare, where a 50/50 split is more common. Interesting. There’s got to be an opportunity here for someone to give these site authors something more meaty.

  • Dude, it’s a widget, yo

    Dumb headline of course, but testing out the in-page, widget ad, blog-posting madness. The value of a webpage is declinging everyday.
