Feedly Progress Report:  Not So Good

Feedly Progress Report: Not So Good

By Bob Warfield on August 30, 2013

I’ve been using Feedly since the demise of Google Reader and wanted to give a progress report on how that’s going.  Not that you won’t have already had to make a decision on an alternate, but perhaps this will be helpful for Feedly if not everyone else. First the good news:  Feedly is great as […]

What If You Fired Your 8 Million Most Influential Users?

What If You Fired Your 8 Million Most Influential Users?

By Bob Warfield on June 20, 2013

What if you were running a big web business and you fired your 8 million most influential users? Would that be a smart thing to do?  Would your shareholders be happy?  Would your board be happy?  What possible reason could you have to do such a thing?  What perceived advantage would offset the cost of […]

Google’s Story That Google Reader Traffic Declined Is BS When You Put That Traffic Alongside Google+

Google’s Story That Google Reader Traffic Declined Is BS When You Put That Traffic Alongside Google+

By Bob Warfield on March 15, 2013

It wasn’t hard to read between the lines–I’ve been calling Google’s decision to drop Google Reader a Microsoft-esque decision made to try to push customers to their other products, and especially to Google+.  Google’s story that it needed to be done because of declining traffic is BS when you look at the real numbers.  Buzz […]

6 Ways The Pundits Are Dazed and Confused About Google Reader and RSS

6 Ways The Pundits Are Dazed and Confused About Google Reader and RSS

By Bob Warfield on March 14, 2013

One of the you-betcha-surefire Pundit strategies is that when something is getting a lot of heat, like the current flap over Google dropping Google Reader, you can get a lot of attention by disagreeing with the crowd.  You want to do so in the most colorful possible way, in fact.  It’s a common form of […]

From RSS to Glassboard

From RSS to Glassboard

By Jeff Nolan on June 8, 2011

Marshall wrote a feature post on a new company spun out of NewsGator: Glassboard, which will open to the public next month, will allow iOS and Android users to share text, photos and in some cases location with small groups. It is built with Microsoft Azure as its back-end and will integrate with Microsoft’s forthcoming […]

Improve Your Blog Reading Signal to Noise Ratio

Improve Your Blog Reading Signal to Noise Ratio

By Bob Warfield on December 26, 2010

Since I subscribe to almost 200 blogs, it’s critical for me to keep a high signal to noise ratio.  In other words, the posts that show up in my reader need to be things I really want to read.  If I’m spending all my time separating the wheat from the chaff, then I’m wasting my […]

Google or Microsoft Should Buy Delicious

Google or Microsoft Should Buy Delicious

By Bob Warfield on December 18, 2010

What a circus Yahoo has become, and not in a good way.  As often as Arrington is over the top in his snarky posts, his latest about Yahoo is so on the mark that I’m even going to use his train wreck picture here, just to emphasize his point about Yahoo being in total disarray one […]

Consumer RSS: 1999-2010

By Jeff Nolan on September 11, 2010

paidContent made an interesting connection about Bloglines being shut down and the broader question of RSS in the age of Twitter. Indeed, in its announcement, Bloglines similarly blames broader trends for its demise, saying, “As Steve Gillmor pointed out inTechCrunch last year, being locked in an RSS reader makes less and less sense to people as Twitter […]

By Dion Hinchcliffe on August 5, 2010

For most of the history of the Web, it’s been about pages and links. This simple yet profoundly powerful structure has led to many of the most important capabilities of the Internet including search, analytics, network effects, and many other…
