Blog Herald Wants a Blog War

August 21, 2006 | Filed Under Snark | 1 Comment

I have it from an unnamed senior Blogmedia senior vice-president that the Blog Herald is itching to instigate a blog war.

May 9, 2008 | By Thord Daniel Hedengren | Leave a Comment

I’m reading that Google is closing Hello, which apparently was (and is, as I’m writing this), a photo sharing service that came with Picasa. I guess they feel it doesn’t fill a purpose anymore.
