Blogging advisory: There will be little, if any, activity on the rexblog until Sunday night.

What Jeff said: “I love Technorati like a brother. But my reaction to the new design (beta) is that I’d put less effort into design and more into performance.”

According to MediaWeek:

Five Bidders are of ffering $40-$50 Million for Fast Co. and Inc. Among the five prospective buyers offering between $40 million to $50 million for G+J USA Publishing’s Fast Company and Inc. is a G+J management group comprised of CEO Russell Denson, Inc. vp, publisher Lee Jones and editor John Koten, as well as Ed Sussman, managing director of the two titles’ Web sites. The group is being represented by Abry Partners, a Boston-based media-focused private equity firm, according to sources familiar with the situation.”

The is in the ballpark of what I predicted in some comments I made on the weblog, BusinessPundit a while back.

Mr. Roboto, serving mankind:
I’m away from Nashville for a few days. As I noted yesterday, this
doesn’t prevent me from keeping up with The Event Formerly Known As Fan
Fair (TEF-KAFF, better known as “Tef-kaff” to a small but growing group
of influential bloggers) as is doing some
prize-winning reportage & commentary of the event by looking out
his office window.

Thanks again, Mr. R.

You’re making me even more happy to be away.
