WRIPE

Just having a few problems with the WRIPE local feed - anybody tuning into WRIPE from Ireland my apologies. The feeds are not sorting for the screen. They’re overloading on a couple of feeds only. Should be sorted by this evening. Opening day glitches!

Wripe Nearly Ready

WRIPE: Because Life’s All About Change
Wripe is an online magazine built from a combination of the bestblogs, blogs which are great but not getting the recognition they deserve and Wripe’s own editorial.
I put it together with Ted Shelton of Personalbee. I’ve made editorial decisions that I hope bring a really wide range […]

Mobouzz looks like a high quality service, news to the mobile but sad to say Thursday their servers were attacked and wiped. had me asking also where are the news values set - what counts as news to mobuzz?

Top US Sites Rely on non-US Visitors

TO question or not to question, that sometimes needs an answer. What does it mean that the top US site rely on non-US traffic? That we are a global community and the ownership of web properties is irrelevant?
Surely it means more than that. This is from Comscore: “14 of the top 25 U.S. Web properties […]

My Diet Friends Coming On

I’ve been posting light for the past few days because I’ve been away but also because I’ve been busy with My Diet Friends. The site is picking up members which is very gratifying.

I mean the point has been made already today that Brtghtcove was not exactly fast out of the traps with its service and investors must be uneasy having seen YouTube […]

Monocle Launch Could be a Shake up Call to Web/Print/TV

It probably takes a brand new initiative to make the cross-platform future work and Tyler Brule is providing. Monocle is part magazine, part broadcaster, part website.

Skype, Venice, Television

The story that Skype’s founders are setting up a TV service on the web has been circulating for a while but last week I got talking to a company who’ve been approached to provide content, they say under strict conditions of confidentiality.
The new Venice project when launched will be a safe harbour for quality content […]

BBC Goes CJ in USA

Not sure I agree with this kind of stuff - if it were a real citizen journalism project you’d get some sense of disruption but truly the BBC does not need to go into this turf. No doubt it’ll be a success but those pioneers who laboured in the BBC’s desperately underfunded communities department were […]
