One name comes to mind when you mention the above: Robin Williams. There is still talk of him paying off comics after indirectly doing their material on stage or on television.
Yep, looks like they haven't been able to secure deals with the big providers - Disney (ESPN, ABC Family), Fox (FX, Fox Sports Net), or Time Warner (CNN, TNT). I imagine this will change over time.
Can't say I'm shocked by that - reading the book "These Guys Have All The Fun" lead me to believe that ESPN is an jockocracy based on power rather than talent.
A sad story for passengers on board, but the letter was far too verbose to be effective as a complaint. A shorter, less emotional letter sent as an executive email carpet bomb[1] may have gotten a better response.
It looks like RWW made a typo with the author - his name is Josh, not John. Searching for "Josh Petersel" "Harvard Business School" will turn up a bio http://averyjoshblog.wordpress.com/about-josh/
The leagues would take you to court if you tried to openly sell that vision. There's a reason that they have the "expressed written consent" message tacked on to every broadcast.
I liked the part that mentioned that jobs can pay between $40k and $125k. Given how generic the article was, I'm surprised that they didn't start at 0 and go to infinity.
It is useful and is something I'll keep an eye on if any roles come up.
One suggestion - a hide and/or mark as spam button would be useful. I noticed a "work from home" spam job appear in the listings which stuck out compared to the other tweets. A hide button would be useful to make jobs that I've applied for/are not interested in.
Not for illegal activity, according to an article on Tech Herald:
"Logs, seized equipment, and testimony from those arrested, seems to be the undoing for those connected to Anonymous and LulzSec. ...According to HideMyAss.com, ...services such as ours do not exist to hide people from illegal activity. We will cooperate with law enforcement agencies if it has become evident that your account has been used for illegal activities
The service stores logs for 30-days when it comes to Website proxy services, and they store the connecting IP address, as well as time stamps for those using the VPN offerings."
Furthermore - if you're using a VPN service to stay anonymous, you're only staying anonymous from whatever you're accessing, not the VPN service itself.
The one thing I dislike (on the main page at least) is the separation of news and opinion/analysis. I can't think of many times where I've visited a news site and wanted to read only opinion or only news, but I can think of times where I've visited a site to read about a particular story - and read related articles that happen to be opinions/analysis.
Despite it being "fixed" not long after the blog post went live, I wonder how long/how many people knew about this bug. Seems like it would be a great trick for SEO (build page to certain PR/remove opponents ranking above you)
Perhaps you can have videos play a preview on accessing the site - allow the user to click the play button, have the video pause after ten seconds/5% of time, then pop up asking for a tweet if they want to continue watching.
I like it but can't see it taking off until QR readers are standard on mobile OS'. I imagine the percentage of users with both smart phones and QR applications installed on them is pretty small.
A bachelor’s degree in journalism, media studies, mass communication, or some similarly named program along with at least a few years under the tutelage of editors is the best preparation for calling oneself a journalist.
So much for all those journalists who got to where they are via cadetships/traineeships - you're nothing according to Jolie O'Dell.
Honestly, this point strikes me as someone trying to justify their own actions as the "correct" actions.
