Journalism
To be fair, a trade press story popped up on the *Press Gazette *Twitter feed [http://twitter.com/pressgazette] this morning > Centaur in 300k directory buy-up [http://www.pressgazette.co.uk/story.asp?sectioncode=1&storycode=37789&c=1]: Centaur has acquired the Creative Handbook from Reed
Journalism
So, Press Gazette relaunched last week [http://www.pressgazette.co.uk/story.asp?sectioncode=1&storycode=37638&c=1]. I actually saw the website in the first few hours, thanks to Martin Stabe’s tweet [http://twitter.com/martinstabe/statuses/74541772], but I’ve been far too busy
Blogging
Once in a while, I come across a post that perfectly expresses something that I’ve been struggling to articulate. In particular, of late I’ve been trying to explain concisely why I find the “oh, blogs are just people ranting on the internet” view I get from so many

Is the Telegraph thinking of blocking Google from seeing its news [http://open.typepad.com/open/2007/04/telegraph_talks.html]? What a *really *terrible idea.
Blogs
Shiny Media [http://shinymedia.com/], the rather well-backed [http://www.blogherald.com/2007/01/29/uks-shiny-media-secures-45m-in-funding/] UK blogging operation, has launched a new blog: Twitterati [http://twitterati.tv/]. It’s all about that addictive new Web 2.0 toy, Twitter. Given how simple Twitter is, it’ll be interesting to

Here’s a neat reversal of the normal assumptions: blogging and podcasting have spawned their own dead tree magazine called, prosaically enough, Blogger & Podcaster [http://www.bloggerandpodcaster.com/].
advertising
An interesting panel discussion on marketing and advertising in social media just finished. If nothing else, it was interesting because the conclusions seemed to be that no-one really knew how it will pan out. Antony Mayfield [http://open.typepad.com/] was busy wishing himself out of a job: he wants

Trinity Mirror’s new local site is a blog. [http://blogs.pressgazette.co.uk/fleetstreet/2007/03/30/trinity-mirrors-new-local-sites-are-blogs/] : > Trinity Mirror’s Buckinghamshire Advertiser [http://www.buckinghamshireadvertiser.co.uk/] has relaunched its web site. It’s very cleanly designed. But there’s something significant that is unusual about it
blogher
While at Blogher, I was accosted by a mad Scotsman [http://www.ewanspence.com] in a kilt. This was no an entirely unfamiliar experience for me. I grew up in Scotland, and have even been known to wear a kilt myself once in a while (but not for a long
