It’s hard to resist one of the winners from a content sponsored by Valleywag and Fark for the best Photoshopped depictions of what a Yahoo-Microsoft coupling would look like.
Pretty funny, actually, and here is my favorite:
And here is a new cartoon from the Joy of Tech duo, Nitrozac and Snaggy, which is also featured in [...]
While we at D: All Things Digital don’t style ourselves as peacemakers, one of the genuine sateen pillows that we had tossed blithely about our party in Las Vegas at the Consumer Electronics Show on Tuesday night seemed to have a dulcet effect on bringing together faux foes.
Pictured below is Mahalo CEO Jason Calacanis and [...]
What a slimy mess the “Here Comes Another Bubble” is leaving in its wake as it travels all over the Web.
Today, Daryl Lang of PDNPulse, a blog from Photo District News, reported that it contacted more photographers whose pictures were used in the popular Web 2.0-mocking video by the San Francisco-based singing group, the [...]
The take-down of the popular Web 2.0 music video, “Here Comes Another Bubble,” didn’t last too long. The Richter Scales, a San Francisco singing group that did the piece, have posted a new one–Version 1.1–that it hopes is copyright safe.
They have a full list of credits here and also on the video, and have a [...]
Let’s be clear on one thing: We won’t be getting any financial information out of the company about Facebook’s performance or the slate of its shareholders until it’s good and ready to hand it over.
That’s because, although it has been widely reported, the hot social network will not fall under the Securities and Exchange Commission’s [...]
While there have been reports that Facebook will be picking investors by today, sources close to the company expect the mulling over to take a little while longer.
So, while it would be great theater, it is unlikely that Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg will do more than the usual hemming and hawing on stage [...]
I think we can safely say the magic multimedia strategy once touted back in Web 1.0 as the savior of old media is now almost completely discounted.
So posits Valleywag’s Owen Thomas in an excellent short analysis of the deal for NBC Universal to buy women’s media cable channel and Web site company Oxygen Media for [...]
Leave it to the freakishly tall Megan McCarthy of Valleywag to impugn our stature at BoomTown.
In her post late last week that I missed (I was traveling and therefore not aware of her cruel, cruel taunts), she pointed with dread to a recent promise I made to try out a new wearable camera I saw [...]
I had an entertaining lunch with Owen Thomas and Megan McCarthy, both of Valleywag, the Silicon Valley online gossip rag that is part of the Gawker Media blogging empire.
(Megan had asked for some advice about the fine art of covering parties–that is, making an interesting story where there is not one–since I started my career [...]
Oh dear.
I put up a simple funny illustration that looked at the striking resemblance between Walt and Anton Ego–a character from the current Pixar animated film “Ratatouille”–and my good friend Owen Thomas, the new head wag at Valleywag, tries to spin it into a faux feud I might be having with my most illustrious partner, [...]
In my post–OK, diatribe–yesterday about Facebook and the dangers of it getting so much of the wrong kind of media attention, I neglected to also mention an interview its ubiquitous founder, Mark Zuckerberg, did with the “Today” show’s Meredith Vieira in mid-June.
Since NBC will not let me embed it and it has not hurtled over [...]
Why have a blog, I say, if you can’t write about people you actually like in it every now and then. And also make grainy videos (see below after the jump).
First, the news that Owen Thomas, who writes the most excellent blog Beta for Business 2.0 magazine’s Web site, where he has worked in a [...]
Kara Swisher started covering digital issues for The Wall Street Journal's San Francisco bureau in 1997 and also wrote the BoomTown column about the sector. With Walt Mossberg, she co-produces and co-hosts D: All Things Digital, a major high-tech and media conference. Read more »
Here is a statement of my ethics and coverage policies. It is more than most of you want to know, but, in the age of suspicion of the media, I am laying it all out.
D is unlike any other executive conference. Since its debut in 2003, D has brought to life the energy and excitement of the digital revolution in an unscripted, upfront and unparalleled way. Read more »
