Edelman / Richard Edelman:
A Word to the Wise  —  Today's front page story in the business section of the New York Times by Michael Barbaro titled "Wal-Mart Enlists Bloggers in Its Public Relations Campaign" is the latest in a series of articles in mainstream media that criticize bloggers for questionable ethics.

Does the 'P' in 'PR' stand for 'press' or 'public'?  —  The New York Times this morning reports on Walmart's PR strategy with blogs, executed via the Edelman PR firm.  —  First, I suggest you read the story and substitute the name of your local newspaper for any reference to bloggers.
Dan Gillmor / Center for Citizen Media:
Bloggers and Disclosure … It should go without saying that the bloggers should make this disclosure, right?  No question, the ones who parrot a company line — down to using the company's words — ought to be more forthcoming about the connections.  —  It should also go without saying …
Fred / A VC:
AOL Opens Up AIM (sort of)  —  I've been critical of AOL recently on this blog, but not today.  They are doing something smart in opening up the AIM platform for third party developers.  Now if you are building a cool new web service and you want to incorporate AIM into your service, you can do it.

Still fretting over mudbloods  —  Gianugo is on one again.  Now, how he (or anyone else for that matter) can think of something as trivial as open source software and world code peace is beyond me when there's a good chance that smug Jose Mourinho will be humbled today by mighty Barcelona, but we all have our priorities.... :-)

Bruce Sterling on the Internet of Things (ETech 2006)  —  The evening keynote (last night) was by Bruce Sterling on the Internet of Things.  This was one of those talks that is impossible to blog.  Even a word-for-word transcript wouldn't do it justice because Bruce's delivery is as much a part of the content as what he says.
