This really sucks. The guy was born without Fibulas. Isn’t that a challenge enough? Let him compete.

Good morning. How’re you all handling that massive snowstorm that hit the east coast overnight? 5-7 inches of snow, enough to cancel meetings and put the rush-hour into turmoil, huh? It was so bad, that… Oh, wait. So this morning finds us with an interesting editorial from Ad Age’s media guy, Simon Dumenco, asking whether or not Nick Denton’s grand idea of paying bloggers per views. While he laments that Denton probably is a visionary, he also asks if pages that reach the lowest common denominator is really what we want to be spending our time reading.

They’re calling my flight. I’m off to SF.

Caught Sarah Meyers happily blogging away across the table from me here at the Bloghaus. About to head to the airport, so that was a nice way to end the conference. (And yes, that’s Scoble’s laptop directly to my left.)
