There’s a new version of Windows Live Writer available for download. Lots of new features. Kevin Briody likes it. Why in the hell does it flash every time I add a link to a post? It’s User Account Control (which I long ago disabled) all over again.
Mahalo launched today. Steven Streight has a good write up on it, as does Mashable. Mahalo says it’s:
the world’s first human-powered search engine powered by an enthusiastic and energetic group of Guides. Our Guides spend their days searching, filtering out spam, and hand-crafting the best search results possible. If they haven’t yet built a search result, you can request that search result. You can also suggest links for any of our search results.
There’s a page for Scoble, one for Guy. None for Seth. Or me. Seems oddly familiar…. Anyway, why does a search for wolves return NOFX (whatever that is), Kevin Costner and Instapundit as 3 of the 4 links?
Scott Karp has a good summary of the CBS/Last.fm business. It’s about the declining radio ad dollar. One of these days someone is going to start looking for a return on all this money old media is tossing around trying to become new media.
I was a guest on Dave Wallace and Mike Seyfang‘s The Extraordinary Everyday Lives Show podcast tonight. It was an absolute blast! I’ll link to the episode when it’s up.
