Anyone who has a blog by the name "coffee and cigarettes" should be using Radio.  Sorry Shelly.  Few things in software more addictive than Radio. 11:53:00 PM    Comment_ Trackback []

Dane.  I was kicking your butt all day today on traffic until a couple of minutes ago.  What happened? I have seen one thing since Radio launched.  People that use Radio can immediately see a HUGE improvement in visitors to their site from the moment they start using it.  There is a P2P element working here that translates into a big improvement in site traffic.  Nothing worse than writing a blog that nobody reads. 6:24:11 PM    Comment_ Trackback []

As a follow up to the below.  Here is a link to the Quicktime Webcast of Frontline's "DotCon" show.  1:06:42 PM    Comment_ Trackback []

Note the shelf during May and June when insiders bailed.  June numbers started the slide to oblivion.   The volume numbers at the bottom show when the public started to bail:  October 2001. 10:37:40 AM    Comment_ Trackback []

NYT.  Global Crossing, another of George Gilder's picks for global domination files for bankruptcy protection. "I don't know how the management of this company did so well while small shareholders did so poorly," said Linda Lorch, a primary- school teacher in Scarsdale, N.Y., who said she lost more than $120,000 on Global Crossing stock.  She must have read Gilder!  Think about all the money he made on this stock!  The answer to this is easy, these guys knew about the internal financing of the company and its business prospects.   They bailed when it started to look grim.  Happens all the time.  You can get insider trading info from Yahoo.  Have a look at the May 2001 insider sales at ~$12 a share!  Everyone got out. 10:31:21 AM    Comment_ Trackback []

Register.  Microsoft to put SQL database and P2P functionality into Longhorn.  Expected release ~2004.  Must have been a change of heart in Redmond due to a fear of potential competition in this space.  I still don't expect to see a CMS until 2006 with Blackcomb. 8:17:16 AM    Comment_ Trackback []
