Wait until Tuesday to talk about it
Robert Scoble talks about how the news spread that he was leaving Microsoft for PodTech.net, Scobleizer - Microsoft Geek Blogger - Why Wall Street didn’t believe Steve Ballmer (and what he can do about it):
He asked me to wait, so I waited.
"Did you miss that I turned into an international news story that has gotten more attention than everything Microsoft announced at its big TechED conference this week?After Robert told me he was leaving, a few people asked me if I had heard the news. Yes, I told them. I thought it was strange that so many people knew the secret.
How did I do that?
I talked with the grassroots FIRST. Against the advice, by the way, of a lot of PR people (they wanted me to break the news to Walt Mossberg or someone 'important' first — they thought that's how I was going to get the biggest story going).
They all are wrong. I almost bought into it too. In fact, I did. On Saturday I talked with maybe 20 people and said 'can you wait until Tuesday to talk about it?' "
He asked me to wait, so I waited.
Sometimes the web is better than TV
Lost Remote: Study: Viewing content on TV and web equally desireable:
"TV is not superior to the web when it comes to video, despite what most TV execs today will say. TV is superior to the web when it comes to watching TV. But the web is better than TV when it comes to short, on-demand, unique video that fulfills an endless array of niches."One other important thing, the web is better than TV for interactivity.
Can you talk back to your TV? Can you contribute to a TV show? Do TV shows even want to hear from you?
Take a look at what Ze Frank is doing with the show. In addition to comments, he engages his audience with additional projects like the earth sandwich project. Ze has even asked the audience to write for his show on fabuloso fridays. The first viewer written show was last week. Like we say in the un-conference movement, the intelligence is in the room. When more entertainment producers realize that the intelligence is in the seats, I know we'll see some amazing things.
This is really groundbreaking.
Hyatt Regency Maui - Extra Fees
The Hyatt Regency Maui has a few extra daily fees that you might want to know about prior to planning your stay.
1. Daily resort fee $15 - This fee is required and covers:
Admission for (2) to the health club, Maui News, Local calls, Free access to 800 # calls, In-room coffee, (1) hour daily tennis court time.So basically they are charging you $15 per day for a newspaper. HA!
2. Valet parking fee $12 - When you first arrive at the hotel, a valet asks "if s/he can take care of your car for you". I prefer to self-park, so I said no. Good thing. It cast $12/day to have them do it. Isn't it kind of tricky not to disclose upfront that there is a daily charge? After I declined I asked where the self-park area was and got a reply of down the driveway. Not the best directions since it's actually, down the driveway, back around the rotary and on the right, down a little hill.
3. Daily Internet access $9.99 - There is a charge for internet access. The website neglects to mention this. It says, in part:
Guest Rooms:So you are paying $24.99 per day extra if you opt out of the valet and $36.99 extra if you let them park your car for you.
* High-Speed Internet - Wired
* T-Mobile Hotspot Wireless Broadband
Good thing I can feed myself.
Teh Space
Jay, Ryanne and Schlomo are involveed in setting up a coworking space called Teh Space in San Francisco:
"Teh Space is the effort to create a coworking space in San Francisco. Coworking is cafe-like community/collaboration space for developers, writers and independents."I'd like to set up a similar space in Boston. That was part of the idea behind the Boston Media Makers.
In addition to getting people together for regular meetings, I'd like to have a clubhouse type of creative production space where people can get together and produce things.

$10,000 per month blog revenue
Jay Brewer and his BlogPire Productions has been featured in an article for the Wall Street Journal, Extra bucks:
"Today, his stable of blogs has grown to 14 with almost 750,000 visitors each month and more than 30 direct advertisers. The heaviest trafficked blogs can generate upward of $10,000 a month in revenue, while the less trafficked ones generate between $1,000 and $2,000 before expenses, Mr. Brewer says. He now makes more than he did at his previous jobs, while having more free time to pursue side projects such as consulting."
