Department of Corrections

Anyone in the mood for some debunking and factual proclamations today? Ok good, let's start with an easy one in this announcement about MSN Spaces: Google Inc., Microsoft's newest rival in online search and Web-based services, also has a popular blogging service called Blogger that the Web search company bought in 2002.Actually it was 2003.On to a more delicate one, let's debunk the Google video blogging rumor. Larry Page was quoted as saying:"In the next few days, we're actually going to start taking video submissions from people, and we're not quite sure what we're going to get, but we decided we'd try this experiment"I appreciate the fervor for the blog format, but the above statement should not give folks the impression that this is video blogging. It is not. I like the idea of video blogging but this is an unrelated experiment, you'll see what I mean in the coming weeks.Moving on, Steve Rubel writes, Why Google is Syndication Shy:Before …

Planning ahead for Macworld SF 5th Annual blogger lunch and schmoozefest

December 14, 2005

I took over organizing the Macworld SF bloggers lunch after Mr. Barrett stopped making the trek out four years ago. That means that we are looking at the fifth year of the annual lunch and should probably have our act together this year and plan way ahead so we can monetize world-class web-readiness or something. In any case, the lunch will be on January 10, 2006 at a time and meeting place to be decided shortly depending on interest (feel free to use the comments here to hash it out if you like). You don't need to be attending the conference to come out to lunch, but if you would like to go to the show too you can grab a free Macworld Expo Pass from the generous folks at Other World Computing. You can even register online. The nicest thing about this lunch - low formality and purpose, high on chocolate chip cookies and goofing off. I encourage you to let me know if you are planning on attending and spread the word. Last year we had a great time and I expect this year to be even b…

Thing Labs joins AOL

September 28, 2010

I'm incredibly happy to share with you today that my company Thing Labs is merging with AOL. Thing Labs has come a long way in the last two years, and we've built products I love and a team I'm proud to work with daily. AOL has recognized this, and we agree that there are a lot of great things we can do together. My collaborator and business partner Chris Wetherell and I will be heading up product development for AIM, Lifestream and other consumer products. Don't worry: Brizzly will live on. I want to thank those who had a hand in making this deal happen, and my team at Thing Labs for building great products and just generally being great people. For more information about what the future holds, see our post about the merger on the Thing Labs blog or check out the announcement from AOL.Coverage

About this Blog

From 2000 to 2012, I used Blogger to write about all sort of things. I wrote about my time on the Blogger team, joining Google, building Google Reader, family, technology, and start-up life. I even maintained a link blog called On the Side that I've archived here. However, I've moved on from Blogger and the best way to keep up with me is over at shellen.com.

Thanks,

Jason Shellen
