A note on the comment policy…

By on April 16, 2010 in Misc

Lets make this easy: Any comment I don’t think contributes to the discussion gets tossed when and if I notice it or if it comes up in moderation. The process for deciding if a comment meets with the criteria in #1 is something called “judgment”. In short, there are no hard and fast rules you [...]

Changing formats…

By on May 29, 2008 in Misc

As you can see, I have been making some changes here at Herdwatching. I am strongly considering an audio or audio-video podcast component to the mix and have been breaking out into categories instead of just tagging. I spent some time evaluating whether I want to try and be more “professional” (read stodgy) and put [...]

Nerdwatching: Special Microsoft / Facebook Edition – The End of the Web?

By on May 19, 2008 in Misc

The Herdwatcher has his eye on many flocks. This morning we turn our attention to the pundit-sphere. There are a lot of folks who make their living passing tech news among each other and others. They hold a position somewhere between political commentator and town crier. Of these, one of the ones I like best [...]

Sexist joke of the day….

By on May 7, 2008 in Misc

Warning: May trigger people with no sense of humor and a need to be offended. A good friend of mine gave me this quote in IM… “Scientists have discovered that all women will , at some point, contain intelligent DNA. Unfortunately 95% of them will spit it out.” I don’t care who you are, that’s [...]

When no one has your back…

By on May 7, 2008 in Misc

Ok, this quote kicks ass. “When nobody has your back, you gotta move your back.” It is part of a larger quotation from an otherwise forgettable post. “Give advice that matters in one sentence. I got run out of a job I liked once, and while it was happening, a guy stopped me in the [...]

A momentary editorial…

By on April 29, 2008 in Misc

Those of you who read Herdwatching with any regularity have noticed the increase in post volume of late. These things come and go. Herdwatching is by definition a blog of observation and comment and it so happens that of late there has been a fair amount to handle. The election is driving much of this [...]

By on April 21, 2008 in Misc

Here at Herdwatching we spend a fair amount of time talking about current issues, but the blog itself is interested in all things happening with "the herd". What’s popular and why? How are people connecting? To that end, I bring you the brilliant video, "Twitter in Plain English". Enjoy!

Let’s try this again: No really, we deserve it.

By on April 19, 2008 in Misc

I have to apologize for the previous post on this topic. I didn’t realize I had actually published my buffer instead of saving it as a draft. In any case, lets go on tot he post. Daniel Martin made a comment on one of my recent posts about the "brownfemipower" flouncing that I think was [...]

No really, we deserve it.

By on April 18, 2008 in Misc

Note: This post was a draft that was little more than a copy / past of this comment that I was intending to respond to. Since some trackbacks already link here I won’t delete this post, but you should really go see the finished product. My apologies to Daniel Martin for this inadvertent posting, it [...]
