How much is that bloggy in the window?

Metafilter is....

Earnest Opinion. (far from news, dangerously close to scurrilous).

Happy Blogiversary, Metafilter!

Happy Blogiversary, Metafilter! Metafilter gets a mention in a Wall Street Journal article celebrating 10 years of blogs. (WSJ subscription required)

Quick Survey on MeFi Ethical Question

WCityMike — Wed, 25 Apr 2007 14:41:36 -0800

If an admin deleted an Ask MeFi question at the poster's request, what ethical implications are associated with blogging about it, if you saw the thread prior to its deletion and feel you have something to say? And what rationale do you use to form that opinion?

Articles on (not) blogging at work

grobstein — Sat, 27 May 2006 08:52:23 -0800

Couldn't find any references to this, so here goes: Jessa Werner (another blogger fired, and discussed) is mentioned in the second half of this Thursday's Times piece on (not) blogging at work.

Looking for an old post.

Here or AskMeFi?

i'm not sure if i should post this here or ask mefi, but i'm looking for an old post that i found around Thanksgiving.

It was a blog and/or humorous editorial about Thanksgiving in the White House. Does anyone know what I'm talking about and/or know where I can find it?
I've searched for keywords and searched the tags, but i'm just not finding it.

How can I share this BBC piece on blogging?

Mwongozi — Mon, 14 Nov 2005 12:39:52 -0800

The BBC recently did a television news piece about blogging. I have recorded and encoded it. I'd like to post it to MetaFilter, but I'm worried this falls under "self-linking", since I would obviously have to host it myself. Does it count or not?
If it does, where else should I post it?

A-list bloggers deserve same respect as King of Thailand

In the future, please refrain from linking to pages criticizing A-List bloggers. It's just bad form and not teh funny.

General blog-related stuff on MetaTalk?

Note: if posting about general weblog-related items, please post to Blogroots.com instead.
Since Blogroots is dead, does that mean we can talk about weblog-related stuff here again?

Advice on re-posting MeFi to blog?

Advice on re-posting MeFi to blog?

I often repost mefi stuff on my blog, often meaning Several times a week, sometimes multiple times a Day. I have an html template I use but I do keep changing the format a little. I'd be glad for some advice on how to do it right, or acceptably. You can check what I mean at http://radio.weblogs.com/0123486/ or for short http://rootcellar.info

I'll try to be checking back here, but there is the email link on the page.

muuooooffffff,

Harsh words about MeFi from other blogs

chill — Sat, 06 Sep 2003 16:09:40 -0800

I notice that MetaFilter has received some strong critisism over the last few days. Now while the manner of some of the critisism (in the comments at ASM and another site I won't mention) to some extent debase the point that is being made due to name calling and (dare I say it) Ad Hominem attacks on this place (what do I win for using that phrase?), in the stream of hatred, are there some underlying points that should be taken on board?

Timely advice or what? (Just replace "MetaFilter" for "News".)

Music entering blogs

th3ph17 — Thu, 01 May 2003 13:18:54 -0800

i think there is a i-make-music meme slowly injecting itself into the normal DNA of blogs, spreading out from Here. Ken Layne and Derek have both recently posted old old songs as mp3's. Anyone else notice this? And is everyone recording new stuff to post? i hope so.

Blogging software promotional post

kirkaracha — Thu, 24 Apr 2003 15:46:41 -0800

MoveableType is cool, but this post is just three generic links and a press release. Just because it's cool software that some of us use doesn't make this a good post. (And from the Post a Thread to MetaTalk page, "if posting about general weblog-related items, please post to Blogroots.com instead.")

any similar paper/screen elevatory quirks as they write?

Smart Dalek — Wed, 02 Oct 2002 07:10:49 -0800

I have a theory about my own laspes in grammar: whenever I'm applying text to paper, I can easily iron out my flubs with a high degree of accuracy. But once I begin typing onscreen or with a typewriter, my proofreader's eye is more prone to falter.

I suspect this is due to the differences between horizontal and vertical perception; while focusing upon the words as they are produced, it seems that anything beyond a 45 degree angle triggers off an odd left/right hemispherical conflict. But it would be just my luck to have an "shielded" LCD screen for my web work.

Has anyone else notices any similar paper/screen elevatory quirks as they write?

RSS: next big thing, or nothing?

Voyageman — Sun, 09 Jun 2002 21:13:00 -0800

Recent thread on RSS was a real eye opener. The ever growing mass of great blog material to read is making it impossible to keep up. With abundant tools now available for the blog writer, more and better tools are needed for the blog reader, or one will be forever swamped. (Another good summary on how RSS can help here, another good aggregator/reader here. , don't think either were mentioned in recent thread)

Weblog FAQK

GaelFC — Thu, 06 Jun 2002 09:28:39 -0800

As always, the Brunching Shuttlecocks nail it, with their Weblog FAQK (spelling theirs.) Excerpt: "Weblogs cover a wide range of topics, such as other weblogs, what the mainstream media are saying about weblogging, new weblogs, advances in weblog publishing, books about weblogging, the future of weblogging, and that one naked guy painted up like Spider-Man."
