Steve Gillmor's InfoRouter

Arrington returns
As Mike reports on his Crunchnotes blog, he’s agreed to rejoin the Gillmor Gang. I’m very glad for this turn of events, particularly in light of the large amount of exposure the show has gotten via Valleywag.
However, I am dismayed by Nick Douglas;’ tactics in his investigation of Mike’s alleged conflicts of interest, as detailed [...] -
As I was saying
When I met with Dan Farber last week to discuss closing InfoRouter down, we agreed I’d use a last post to both wind up the blog and detail my future plans. Although I’d intended to write this and release it tomorrow (Monday) it seems appropriate to work on it tonight and jump the gun a [...]

MuzzleWag
I finally figured out how to shut down Nick Douglas and Valleywag: I refused to say anything more in IM (he posted the last thread this morning) but only on the phone, and off the record. So I told him everything I’m going to do next and what I really think about what’s happened up [...]

GangCrunch
I’ve accepted Mike Arrington’s resignation from the Gillmor Gang. Mike and I had a good chat last night at AlwaysOn and I think he’ll find the opportunity to improve CrunchTalk TalkCrunch well worth it. I notice in the comments to his Crunchnotes resignation post that Jason Calacanis is bummed about Mike leaving as well. Perhaps, [...]

Wagging the Dog
Just wrapped the special Monday recording of the Gillmor Gang, with Mike Arrington, Dan Farber, Dana Gardner, Mike Vizard, Jason Calaconis, and guest Nick Carr. Doc Searls was onroute or teaching at OSCON and couldn’t make it. I should have Part I on the network by tomorrow morning, and on Sirius starting Wednesday.
Last night our [...] -
Reaching the world
At breakfast yesterday, Mike Arrington made it clear that if I didn’t show up at his party, he would take it personally. I made it clear I would but first I wanted him to kick somebody important down or off the list (or everyone down the list) and insert me in his wiki, which I [...]

Cold Turkey
I had breakfast with Mike Arrington. He wanted to know why I called him Magic Mike Arrington. I said because everyone knows that everything he touches turns to magic. Funny how that sounds like a dig when it isn’t. Anyway Mike has this fabulous dog who’s 4 years old and our dog is 14 and [...]

Jason pays attention
Haven’t got time to get into the debate here, but Magic Mike Arrington is wrong to think Calacanis’ move smacks of desperation. In fact, Jason is the first to pay for gestures, and he won’t be the last. The inversion of the network is validated, and Nick Carr is the New Net’s Paul Revere. As [...]

Illegible Smile
I’m about to release the first half of the Bloggercon Gang, recorded at CNET during lunch of the first day, with Doc Searls, Dan Farber, and Jason Calaconis. Jason is a trip and a half, talking as he was then focused on the rollout of the new Netscape and the rest of the media wars. [...]

Vaudeville
This media showdown is getting really interesting. In no particular order, some comments about some of the players:
Mike Arrington — Why on Earth is he keeping Marshall Kirkpatrick in such a visible position. Nothing against the guy, he’s a good writer and a competent reviewer, but he doesn’t have a clue about what makes Arrington [...]

New Morning
I was gratified to hear from Sun PR that the problem with Sun events invites has been fixed. Apparently I’ll now be invited regardless of whether it corresponds to my beat area, which is a good thing because a) I have no beat area and b) I’m not really a journalist. One of several emails [...]

All Along the Watchtower
Where to begin…
First, I’m chatting with Dan Farber about what’s going on this coming week. He mentions Mashup Camp on Wednesday and Thursday, which I’m registered for, and a Sun announcement on Tuesday, which I’m not. Sun continues to befuddle me: its CEO, Jonathan Schwartz, lists this blog on his blogroll, yet his PR guy, [...] -

A Hamburger Today
Now that BloggerCon is over, I’m going to start releasing some of the backlog of Attention Deficit Theatre and Gillmor Gangs that have built up. Those who, like me, stayed in bed this morning and listened to the ConCast were treated to a remarkable string of interesting stuff, none of which would I want to [...]

GapingWidget
A few months ago Hugh Macleod of GapingVoid fame joined the Gillmor Gang. Mike Arrington suggested Hugh produce a widget, and now he’s gone and done it, as Mike reports on TechCrunch today. I’ve linked to Mike directly here so as to annoy him, as thanks for ignoring my request not to link to my [...]

Tools
Sitting in the back row at BloggerCon. Phil Torrone makes me feel old (in a good way) with his bouncy enthusiasm and MMOG vibe. Sylvia Paul wants auto transcripts. Buzz shuts down the podcasting discussion. It filters back up. Microsoft guy complains about use of the word podcast. Dave wants to stay away from RSS [...]

And the Wind Cries Larry
The last few days have seen a real ramp up of attention/gesture stuff. The combination of Bloggercon and Supernova this week and Gnomedex next week have brought many of the constituents of the so-called Attention Economy into view. One of the incipient players–Jellyfish–are embargoing their story until Monday to take advantage of a Wall Street [...]
