I like to consider myself something of a media critic. To do the work of running an editorial organization the size of SiliconANGLE, you have to be. We’re growing at a fast clip, and we’re blazing trails in journalism. I tried to flog a theory at SxSW a couple years ago that newsroom editors could see serious competition for their jobs not from other New Media disruptors, but from algorithms. That year in particular, there...

In general, I like Jolie. We’re friends on Facebook (which is to say: we’ve never met face to face, but we’re in the same industry and I think she’s interesting enough to pay attention to occasionally). I...

Earlier today at John Battelle’s Web 2.0 Summit, Federated Media and Automattic issued a joint announcement that they were now able to offer publishers of WordPress.com’s free blogging service the ability to run advertising on their blogs. This is a break in tradition for Federated Media, since as an organization, they’ve never wanted to even open discussions with a blog unless they’ve been at a certain threshold of pageviews, usually...

It’s been a minute since I’ve made a Spotify mix to share, which is a little funny, since a great deal more of you have Spotify now than when I started doing this. I guess I’ve been a bit busy to actually type these up and share them, but if you friend me on Facebook (or, alternatively, click this link), you can have access to all my shared playlists. At any rate, I put this list of songs together while I was waiting at DFW airport, before...
