Mesh 2007 Announced
October 23, 2006 | By Tony Hung | Filed Under News
Earlier this morning, Canada’s own Web Conference, Mesh 2007 was announced.
Lately, we’ve had lots of people asking us — that is, Stuart and Rob and Mark and Mike and Mathew — whether we’re going to do another mesh conference in Toronto, like we did last May, and the answer is… hell, yes! We had such a great time that we’ve been wanting to do another one ever since we got finished cleaning up from the last one. Now we’ve got the venue and dates locked down, so we wanted to let everyone know that mesh 2007 is definitely a go.
The past year’s line up of speakers included Om Malik and Steve Rubel amongst other web2.0 luminaries. With a sold out crowd of 400+ participants, a great time was had by all. More details to come in the upcoming months about details such as keynote speakers, panels, workshops and all those crazy, crazy parties.

Ghost Bloggers Growing in Popularity?
July 18, 2008 | By Andrew G.R. | 3 Comments
Toronto’s Globe and Mail is asking the question that’s on everybody’s mind (sarcasm): Does rapper Kanye West have a “ghost blogger?”
While the concept of ghost writing is hardly new (celebs have been relying on professional writers to create content that is officially credited to them forever), it looks like ghost blogging is blipping onto [...]
PodPress Update in 10 Days
July 18, 2008 | By Thord Daniel Hedengren | 1 Comment
PodPress is probably the most used podcasting plugin for WordPress, and the one we’ve been using here at The Blog Herald. However, there have been issues with it since WordPress 2.5, and it doesn’t work with recently released 2.6. Among others that are frustrated are David Peralty, who’s written about the issue.
Luckily, the PodPress developer [...]

Twitter experienced an unplanned outage, and is down and out for maintenance. They are using this outage to upgrade the affected database, according to a blog post. The service is still down, but hopefully we’ll be getting our microblogging cravings satisfied soon.
Speaking of Twitter, they have apparently tested a new design on select users. SheGeeks [...]
Unannounced Blogging Hiatus

I’m back after a three-week bout of NoBloggingitis (be careful, it might be contagious). I never intended not to blog. Simply put, life just got in the way. The big event in my life was selling my place and moving into a new one. While I expected it to be stressful, [...]
Female Bloggers Want Out of Playboy Poll
July 17, 2008 | By Thord Daniel Hedengren | 3 Comments
Veronica Belmont and Sarah Austin wants out of the sexiest female bloggers poll on Playboy, according to a story on TechCrunch, but Playboy says no. It would, of course disrupt the poll. While I have no love for these kind of polls, and the Playboy one is no exception, I do think that if you’ve [...]
