Kami Huyse points to why Ajax, the peek-enabling software may be reducing our social media reader rankings. This is something that never occured to me. It screws up advertising matrixes even as it deflates blogger egos. Now, I need to think about whether or not this is aq good or bad thing ...

Boy 'tis a fine day for Citizen Journalism, for those of us who believe that's what we should call stuff like this. Scoble didn't have feet on the street, but his buttocks on a seat in an over-rated Half Moon Bay restaurant by the beach, when he spied an Apple executive walking on the beach with a device that his Geekiness did not recognize.
Well, Hell, let Robert tell you what happened...
I've been scratching my head since I read this article in the New York Times about a woman who blogs about working off nearly $40 K of debt. To hide both her debt from the rest of her Northern Michigan family and close friends, she writes bloggingaway debt from the family laundry room. apparently she is one of at lest a dozen debt bloggers.
I have to say I'm dubious about some of the woman's claims. She calls herself Tricia, and describes herself on her blog as an introvert. If you are an introvert who doesn't want your family and friends know you are in debt and blogging about it, doing an interview in the New York Times may not be a good way to keep your cloak of anonymity on. Then, one wonders just how the Times found her.
There's also a photo of Leigh Ann Fraley who blogs$19 K of debt. The thing about Leigh Ann a financial educator, who told the Times she teaches people how to get out of debt, but couldn't do it herself until she started the blog.
This seems to me a new genre for blogs. Use the blogosphere to force you discipline. Think of what it could do for:
Loic has posted a lengthy, eloquent passionate and reasoned response to his actions regarding his production decisions at the recent controversial LeWeb3. He also seems to imply that some of the criticism directed at him was because conferences about blogging per se are over and blogging insiders were pissed off about his going beyond the core topic, which he feels has become overworked.
Maybe so. Maybe so. But I sure wish he had presented this argument before the event not after. That way, people attending the event would have known what to expect.
On a personal level, I think I would have preferred the expanded agenda over the one originally planned. But the issue is setting expectations on what one will get for his or her money. For example, I enjoy both rock and symphony.
But if I went to a rock concert to discover the lead off group was a string octet playing Vivaldi's Four Seasons. I would be confused and disappointed. As so many of Le Web 3 attendee seem to have felt.

I am looking for case studies of blogs or social media activities written by government officials and by citizens intending to influence government. These cases can be from any country and at any level from zoning issues to attempts to overthrow governments.
Please leave your comment here.
Bill Sledzik, an associate professor at Kent State University in Ohio says that Scoble and I have inspired him to start blogging. His fist post was made about four hours ago. He calls it toughsledding and he talks about taking the plunge into the blogosphere, a metaphor I like.
I think you should all go over there and welcome Bill to the blogosphere. Leave him a comment showing that we are all such friendly sorts.
I have long been a fan of Thomas Hawk. This past weekend he teamed up with Scoble to do some creative work. Just click here to see an astounding shot of Golden Gate Bridge. Thomas does that sort of thing all he time. Just subscribe to him and enjoy some awesome daily treats.
Scoble live blogged their time together and you can bet there is some kind of ground-breaking videoblog in the works.
Nova Spivack who you may remember as the GoMeme guy sent me this really funny video on how Microsoft would market the iPod.
(In the form of disclosure, I am wrapping up a 10-day project with Nova regarding message. I'm NDA'd in seventeen directions, but he's working on some excessively cool stuff for bloggers. Don't tell him I told you.)
