: I did 5 years of daily live tv on ABC. While I would say I never heard something that negative directed at talent, I have heard people screaming in the heat of the moment. I once told the Exec Producer that if he did not get back in the f-ing control room and let me do my job I would not be able to get a SAT feed up in time to be used on air. He of course said fine but that he intended to rip my beard out hair by hair if I did not pull off the feed in time.
: @jasongoldberg There's one thing I find interesting about this story. This video was never intended to be viewed here. I wanted this for friendfeed, where a few people appreciated it, but over here 18 people clipped it. Maybe SM is becoming like the way Leo Laporte described it as "Digg meets ff"(much better then both, of course)!

I’ll bet you’re smart.I mean, you’re likely college educated. Maybe even grad school. You can probably remember some killer instances where you nailed some assignment. That clever C++ hack. The time you delivered an insightful analysis of Vonnegut. Navigated your way through a thorny financial analysis. Came up with an eleg (Read More)

: "My own experience is that if you blog, every so often you pop out a signature piece. The kind of post that resonates with others and establishes your position in your field. These blog posts receive a lot of views, get linked to and turn up in Google searches."
: @Hutch, I also feel a blog is like having home court advantage; not everyone wants to play there but it's a place for the tried and true fans to cheer us on.

Twitter competitor Pownce is no more. We’ve followed the story yesterday: it was acquired by Six Apart, but not to develop the service further: simply to acquire the talented people that worked on Pownce. I’d like to quickly revisit the story because I’ve been following Pownce from day one, I’ve actu (Read More)

: well they acquired the company to hire on the people that worked for it. they said they aren't going to develop it further. though i would love to see the service or something similar to continue

SocialMedian was barely a thought for people back in February, but it has gained a solid following in the 9 monthsof its existence. Many people would ask why this startup has gained any traction. It is yet another social news site with voting and commenting. Did we really need another? Given the amount of traffic that socia (Read More)

Out of the hundreds of articles and posts out there on how companies should utilize social media and Web 2.0, CNN seems to be one of the few major corporations out there that have paid attention. CNN is one of the few broadcast networks with an expansive line of shining examples in the Web 2.0 space, from basic RSS and book (Read More)

: Ironic, I guess, considering that many people think of CNN as yesterday's news. Yet they're the first to adopt social networks. Hmm. I gave up on CNN a long time ago, when they started devoting coverage to people rather than news (Paris Hilton isn't a story, no matter what she does. Neither is Lindsey Lohan. That stuff belongs on E, not on a news network.)
: I think that while Rick promoted Twitter on the air, there was very little proof of that real interaction. I think.
For real interaction, http://twitter.com/gustavreporter was on the ground, providing live Twitter updates. Rick, ultimately, was in a studio, (and didn't experience power outages!)
