Blogistan Pie

Christian Crumlish

OK, I'm on a roll here (I guess, in a lame sort of way). I've posted third and fourth verses for what I'm now calling Blogistan Pie since The Day the Blogging Died just really doesn't trip off the tongue. The Day the Weblogs Died may have been a better choice but it's all pretty awful, to be honest.

More verses coming, believe it or not.

Stop, please. My ribs hurt from laughing. I'm guffawing so bad I can't sing along. More verses will just cause my eyes to pop out of my head.

Generation theft: J.D. Lasica posts about a conversation with BlogHer co-organizer about blog plagiarism, and cites a few examples of people plagiarizing newspaper ledes in their blog entries about BlogHer (New Media Musings: Plagiarism in the blogosphere). How lame! Also, where's the fun in that?... (Best Practices)

They serve several purposes, they direct readers to the sites that are important to you, and serve... (Weblog Concepts)
Economist Catches On to Blogs: Chaord Everywhere I Look caught this citation in the Economist (every thinking liberal's favorite noninsane conservative news voice). Funny that they thought bOing bOing was a tech blog, though. Daryl questions the characterization of blogs as the "anti-newspaper": I disagree. I think blogs are the anti-advertisement. Ads are always trying to... (Salon Bloggers)
The Secret to Signing up for Metafilter: Without the equivalent of autodial, I've been trying to remember to check MeFi each day around noon to see if the 20-a-day signups had yet been exhausted. Each day I've been too late, till today. Hurray for Saturday.... (Weblog Concepts)
BlogChalking: Daniel P½dua has come up with a way to facilitate geographical (and other keyword) searching for blogs. He calls it blogChalking (partly inspired by the popular warchalking meme of the moment). I've added the icon: to my navigation panel and the applicable keywords to my META tags in the HEAD of...

CNET.com Blog-Tool Comparison: CNet's Blog Populi article from April, 2002, sports another of these feature-comparison charts (a less thorough overview than elsewhere, but easier to read. They ruled out covering MovableType (which I'll be comparing to Radio next week) citing the difficulty of installation for non-technical folk and the fact that it requires a... (Weblog Concepts)
Salon Blogs Logo (Unofficial): Playing around with my site design today, I modified the Salon logo from the default Salon Blogs banner so that it looks like this: If you feel like using it, drag this graphic into your www/images/ folder (or right-click on it—click and hold with a Mac—and save it to that folder)....
