Hi, I'm Margie Newman. I blog about public relations, social media, careers, productivity and geek stuff.
Several of you have sent me versions of the TechCrunch slam on Aol’s communications gal, Tricia Primrose Wallace
.
The rundown: when confronted with the TechCrunch scoop that Aol CTO Ted Cahall was leaving, Wallace says it’s not true. She even goes so far as to tell TechCrunch to “update” their story to reflect the inaccuracy; they also say she directed other outlets to run stories saying TechCrunch was wrong. Read More…
It’s not that I agree with everything Devin Coldewey says today in his TechCrunch post; but I gotta say, it’s so nice to (for once) read a smart and different (and negative) take on Twitter.
A highlight of his rather long, thoughtful thesis: “…if someone is so regularly finding content of merit, why don???t they have a blog where the content can be given context, discussion, and perhaps a preview so people aren???t going in blind? I like reading interesting blogs. I don???t want to receive links every time someone find something they think everyone should see. Twitter just adds another layer to the equation ??? and I don???t like layers.”
READ IT HERE. It’s good stuff. Of course, any blog post with a good Hammer pants reference gets an A in my book.

Holy crap this is bad. Team Newman’s favorite line: “Microsoft, huh? So it’s easy to use?”
Hat Tip: TechCrunch, which observed the following minor detail:
Whoever made the video thought they could fool everyone by covering up the Apple logo and the rest of the laptop with stickers. Or maybe they knew that would be the only way anybody would bother to watch the video.
My questions:
