A picture named microsoft.jpg5:30PM -- back from the Microsoft briefing. I signed a NDA along with about 30 other bloggers including Chris Pirillo, Don Park, Elizabeth Lawley, Dave Weinberger. It was a lively bunch, but geez, it felt like we're talking totally different languages. I can't say what area this is in until they announce the service, wish I could. I can say that from what I could tell, everyone in the room wanted them to be successful, that's how much we need competition in the area they're working. To many of us the way to be competitive seemed obvious, but we had a lot of trouble convincing the guys from MS. Anyway, it's not over yet, there's a dinner tonight and sessions tomorrow morning. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Danny Sullivan gathers links to the blog posts. He's waiting for my post, but I'm NDA-constrained. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Thursday is the 10th anniversary of DaveNet, the beginning of my online writing, and in a real sense, the beginning of blogging. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Don't miss the new Trade Secrets podcast and the remix of Bush at the debate, but be sure to put down your coffee cup before listening to the latter. I mean it. You don't want to be around any sharp objects either. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Doc Searls is tracking the podcast meme. "The station has a 100% share of the local audience." Permanent link to this item in the archive.

On 60 Minutes last night a college student said iPods are "required by law." And then Gizmodo reports today that hotels are providing iPods to guests, presumably so they can comply with the law.  Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Taegan Goddard on the 50 percent rulePermanent link to this item in the archive.

NY Times: "McCurry acknowledged later that in debate practice sessions Mr Kerry had shown himself to be especially adept at keeping his answers succinct." YupPermanent link to this item in the archive.

Pete Hamill: "Clear, declarative sentences, unencumbered by evasive qualifiers and legalese, were the sinewy muscles of our democracy, and like muscles, they grew flabby and weak if they were not used." Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Tomorrow the Web 2.0 conference begins in San Francisco, it goes through Thursday. We'll be looking for reports from bloggers in attendence. It's an expensive conference, I really couldn't justify spending the $2400 it would have cost for me to participate (plus travel and hotel). Instead, I'll spend the day at Microsoft, part of a group of bloggers, being briefed on a new service. This event is free, in fact, if I were coming from out of town (I'm not) they would have paid my expenses. Now that's affordable!  Permanent link to this item in the archive.
