“Gmail down” was the cry in Facebook and Twitter posts as recently as moments ago. TechCrunch reported “widespread” outages around the World, and said the result was a 500 “Service Unavailable” page reading. And the tech blog reports that the outage lasted for about 50 minutes. #Gmail goes down for millions of users | http://t.co/06ti2sO7Ec […]
TechCrunch Disrupt 2013 is today, and I’m already totally exhausted. Part of the reason is that I got six hours of sleep. Another reason is that there’s the usual array of overwhelming companies to learn about. And the other reason is that it’s hot outside, thus tacking up the temperature a bit in here, and […]
Jason Calacanis has an issue, which is unfortunate. In an unnecessary response to my blog post (Jason Calacanis: Ah, Gawker, Mr. C Knows There’s Racism In Tech) pointing to several encounters with me which proved that, contrary to his assertions in Gawker, he does see that there’s a race problem, just chooses to do nothing […]
After some years in this business and two companies Sports Business Simulations and Zennie62Media (as well as involvement in another tech startup called Bartabber and another called MyPartnerInCrime.com), I realized I have more than a little advice to share. Those who may not know me would ask “Why should I pay attention to you?” Well, […]
Wow. For some reason, the site of The Huffington Post, the well-known liberal news blog site ran by Arriana Huffington and purchased by AOL for over $300 million in 2011, is down as of 3:44 PM PDT. This blogger went to go to http://www.huffingtonpost.com and waited, and waited. Finally a message reading “An error (500 […]
Yammer – the first Twitter-competitor to fail to be Twitter – was just purchased by Microsoft, who announced the deal as if capturing a prized wild animal. Yammer is an “enterprise microblogging platform” that is Twitter-like in its behavior and has been around about as long, without the breaks along the way. Microsoft announced this […]
Don’t look now, but TechCrunch – the blog founded by Michael Arrington, who in 2010 then sold it to the Tim Armstrong and Arriana Huffington-ran AOL, and the same Huffington who Michael recently called a “touchy psychopath” for her then-heavy-handed role at the tech blog, chasing off Arrington, and bloggers Sarah Lacy, Paul Carr, and […]
Last year, Mike Tung, the CEO of the revolutionary startup Diffbot, granted me this interview as I was visiting the AOL Offices for the TechCrunch Mobile Disrupt Conference. And what, you may ask, is Diffbot, and why do I call it “revolutionary”? Diffbot, of which this blogger is a member, essentially picks up where Dabble […]
I was all set to cheer over what, for CNN would be a stupid deal, and for Mashable and bloggers like me, Heaven, and wrote this: The hot rumor flying around Twitter to the point of reaching Twitter Top Trend status is that CNN is in talks to buy Mashable for $200 Million. The word […]
When he was CEO of Citcorp, the late Walter Wriston once said about New York and New Yorkers that all he had to do was walk outside of his office and meet the smartest people in the World. Here’s further proof that observation is true today. What’s the common image of a hacker? It’s someone […]
Apparently not waiting for the social media protest party to come its way, AOL announced it was no longer sponsoring Rush Limbaugh today. According to Laura Bassett and Ryan Grim of The Huffington Post, AOL spokesperson Maureen Sullivan said “At AOL one of our core values is that we act with integrity. We have monitored […]
UPDATE: AOL DUMPS RUSH LIMBAUGH ONE DAY LATER. AOL, the web portal once called America Online, backs Rush Limbaugh, and has not turned away from sponsoring his show, even after Rush called Georgetown University Law Student Sandra Fluke a “slut” and a “prostitute” on his radio show Wednesday, starting a firestorm of criticism and the […]
After it was purchased by America Online – opps, AOL – for $30 million, and saw Huffington Post Founder Arriana Huffington become the boss over it, TechCrunch tech blog has went through a huge change of people over the last year, with the departure of Founder Michael Arrington, CEO Heather Harde, and writers Paul Carr, […]
Zennie62 will be in Las Vegas for CES 2012 between January 8, 2012 and January 15th 2012, and looking through my press emails, the trend and buzz is concerned with mobile and with 3D. On top of that, there are several interesting conferences within the Consumer Electronics Show that are of note. First off, this […]
Alana Nguyen, the new Executive Director of SFGate.com, has blocked Zennie62 from further blog postings on the website of the San Francisco Chronicle. The exact reason for the sudden action wasn’t stated in the email sent to announce it, but emails and conversations the day before pointed to a sudden concern for a blog subject […]
As TechCrunch Disrupt San Francisco goes into day two, what becomes apparent to this blogger is TechCrunch blog founder Michael Arrington’s “departure” from the blog itself is, for all practical purposes, cosmetic. The famed “argument” between Arianna Huffington and Michael never really happened according to Huffington herself. Michael’s just playing it all to look more […]
The news is all over that TechCrunch Founder and Editor Michael Arrington may step down from running the blog not just to operate a new venture capital fund, but because the rumor is he was fired from AOL. What’s so weird is to read blog posts and articles that are dancing all over his grave, […]
The hot rumor is AOL may snap up part of Yahoo! In fact, that AOL may take over part, or all of the web portal was not real news, until you consider that Yahoo!’s up for sale now, and in the wake of the firing of CEO Carol Bartz. If AOL is allowed to buy […]
Google AdSense, the ad-serving system used on scores of blogs and websites, is generally favored over competitor services because of its higher “RPM” rate, or “Revenue Per Thousands Of Impressions.” This blogger has been a happy user of Google Adsense for years, as it’s coupled with the YouTube Partner Program – no complaints here. But […]
I had the pleasure of meeting rapper Chamillionaire And “Cello” (that’s what he allowed me to call him on video, although I may be busted for it later), at Friday’s TechCrunch Mobile event, just before the rockin August Capital Party that night. We talked about what they’re interested in learning when they, as musicians and […]
The stars of this complex, information-stuffed AOl-hosted TechCrunch event? Chamillonaire and Foursquare. In case you’re not in the know, Chamillionaire’s the famous rapper also known for visiting tech events and using the latest in social media platforms. He also thinks Android sucks. As I type this he’s still behind me, talking about how bad Android […]
