First, I hope you all got a chance to watch today’s WallStrip video which is a parody of Jim Cramer:

Some of the folks at CNBC enjoyed it, specifically whoever’s running their “On the Money” blog. Here’s what they had to say today:

This is a Riot! Cramer as Dr. Phil!
It is so good, but, […]

You may have noticed that the site looks a little different today. That’s because I switched blogging platforms over the weekend from Movable Type to WordPress. I managed to get most of the site rebuilt but there are still some things missing and some broken links. Hopefully I’ll get all that sorted […]

[begin soapbox] Why is it that (new) bloggers these days will only link to somebody if they can do a link exchange with that person? I remember back in the good old days of blogging (2 years ago) when people would simply link to bogs that they liked and/or read. It trips me […]

SiliconBeat has an article about the new WordPress.com which sounds like a great alternative to the likes of BlogSpot and TypePad:

Here is why it is significant. It is still being offered for free. The original open source version, WordPress, was already popular, but some users didn’t like that you had to find a hosting service […]

JenSense has posted an excellent interview with Jason Calacanis of Weblogs Inc. Jason’s network of blogs is on pace to make a million dollars from AdSense in the next twelve months. The interview is a must-read for any blogger looking to boost their ad revenue.

Glenn has a note on his site underneath a collection of links to stock blogs (BTW, thanks for the link Glenn) which reads:

A few people have asked why I haven’t mentioned CNBC’s new Squawk Blog (SquawkBlog). There are a a few reasons why I didn’t:

I found out about it late. Since I rarely watch CNBC any more I didn’t find out about the weblog until about a week after it launched. I figured that […]

Did anybody catch that pathetic segment that CNBC did on blogging just before 8:00 this morning? I’m still amazed by the ignorance (and arrogance in some cases) of some members of the media. It’s not that I expect them, or anybody, to love blogs but I would think that journalists would at least […]

I’ve been doing a lot of reading about weblogs today and just came across the following about the Wall Street Journal Online and their plans for attracting and keeping more traffic:

At The Wall Street Journal Online, Bill Grueskin, the managing editor, looks at it more philosophically: “How do we make reading news online as […]

Thanks to Kathy Yakal and Theresa W. Carey for the kind words about my site in this weekend’s Digital Investor column at Barron’s. (subscription required) When I started this blog about 18 months ago I would have never imagined being mentioned in Barron’s. Hopefully they won’t mind if I ‘liberate’ the section of […]
