Heading to Chicago, but first: Thanks to the friend (who wishes
to remain anonymous due to his fear of copyright infringement lawsuits)
who sent me this re-captioned rendition of a famous New Yorker cartoon as a birthday greeting. Thanks. And it’s true.





For all you magazine art directors:  Panopticist has an early April Fools treat (nightmare?) for you.

Dave Winer says:  “Yahoo doesn’t have its mojo back. What a crock. Their idea of hip is to
copy everyone else, badly. Let the Flickr folks, who really do have
mojo, show that the elephant can dance, just a little.”

Subscription blogs: In preparing for a panel I’m on tomorrow morning at the Folio: Entrepreneurial Publishing Summit
(hey, if you’re there, please tell me hello), I did some rudimentary
googling over the weekend and saw a directory on a site called “Tekrati Analyst Cafe” with several “subscription blogs” for clients of  Forrester
Research and Gartner Inc., the research firms. (And this doesn’t
include Forrester’s free blog from Charlene Li.)

Gartner’s blogs have substantive-sounding titles while Forrester takes the down-home blog-like approach with its blogs’ names:

I also have run across a subscription “blog” from CQ called “Homeland Security” (sample) but it appears to be a daily news briefing that merely utilizes certain blog-conventions in its format.

Have any other examples of subscription weblogs? Add them to the comments. Thanks.
