Menu: Vegan ThanksgivingFrom Serious Eats Photo by Lani Bouwer Despite my love for Thanksgiving food stuffs, not everyone chooses to indulge in the succulent turkey, meaty gravy, or butter-filled mashed potatoes. They choose to go the vegan route. But just because the meal lacks meat or dairy products doesn't mean they can't celebrate with a delicious Thanksgiving feast. I asked Dreena Burton, blogger and author of Eat, Drink & Be Vegan, Vive le Vegan! and The Everyday Vegan, about what she will be serving during her meatless holiday. She recommended: Festive Chickpea Tart Roasted Sweet Potatoes Lemon Broiled Green Beans Traditional Cranberry...

Suntech Shares Plunge on Shockingly Weak Q4 Outlook [Voices]By Eric Savitz, Blogger and Columnist, Barron’s, Tech Trader Daily Suntech (STP) shares are trading dramatically lower–and dragging down the rest of the already battered solar sector–on an extremely weak outlook for Q4 results. For Q3, the company posted revenue of $594.4 million and non-GAAP profits of 36 cents a share. That beat the Street estimate of $571.7 million at the top line, but fell short of Street estimate of 42 cents at the bottom line. But what really matters here is the outlook. For Q4, the company now sees revenue of $345 million to $360 million, dramatically below the...

China Tibet Information Center Google-Advertising Its Views On TibetThe Shanghaiist reports: <<With political arrows still being shot back and forth between Beijing and Dharamsala [home of the exiled current Dalai Lama], China has been panning out its efforts to win the propaganda battle over Tibet (...) Lately we’ve been observing lots of Google ads pointing to the China Tibet Information Center appearing in places like Youtube ... and even our Google Reader. Given the massive reach of Google’s self-serve contextual ads, this means anytime you’re viewing something related to China or more specifically Tibet anywhere on the web, that ad may appear, pointing you to http://eng.tibet.cn/ where China’s...

Writing a novel is a much different beast than writing magazine articles or maintaining a blog. That’s why a new tool called FortyChapters makes a lot of sense. The site is essentially a web-based app for organizing your work, saving it so it can be accessed from anywhere, and providing some ideas and prompts for how to structure your novel. The key features of the app are being able to create characters, acts, and chapters. You can see all of these from one screen, which should help writers keep track of where they are in the book and the attributes...

Jeffrey Smith: Search Blogger of the DayThis is one of a series of posts in which I will be highlighting each member of the Search Bloggers list, with commentary on one of their posts (new or old). Look for this series to continue once or twice a week for the next couple of months. Meet Jeffrey Smith, the Search Blogger of the Day. Today I’d like to highlight a post entitled, The Value of Aggregators, Syndication and Hub Pages. Sometimes SEOs and webmasters have to be reminded that leading people away from your site isn’t always a bad thing. But only a really good explanation as...

Twitter Followers vs. RSS SubscribersDaniel’s note: This is a guest post by Nathan Rice. My personal opinions are slightly different than his when it comes to Twitter followers vs. RSS subscribers (because I think the latter are more important for a blogger or web publisher), but I am always open to different perspectives and points of view. I am also curious to know which one you guys value more, so make sure to drop a comment after you read the article. You may be aware that Twitter is the newest phenomenon in the blogoshpere. Big name bloggers have been jumping on the Twitter bandwagon...

The Future of Mobile Software [Voices]By Daniel Eran Dilger, Blogger, RoughlyDrafted There’s nothing new about mobile computing. In the early 90s the industry promised a range of devices from tablets to mini-laptops to smaller handheld PDAs. Apple’s pioneering offering, the 1993 Newton Message Pad, sought to deliver a sophisticated new operating system and development environment running a unique new platform based upon low power, ARM RISC processors the company codeveloped with Acorn.

Microsoft Realizes No One Wants to Pay Microsoft to Fix Its Own Security Flaws [Voices]By Mike Masnick, Blogger, Techdirt Back in 2005, when Microsoft was first mulling the idea of offering security software, we noted that the company was between something of a rock and a hard place. If it decided to charge for the software, people would accuse the company of trying to get people to pay to protect themselves from the security vulnerabilities in Microsoft’s own software. Yet, if they went free, then they would face screams about antitrust violations for undercutting competitors in the security software market. We also suggested a third option: design better software that doesn’t need security software....

Some More GMail Goodness Of all the goodies that Google has rolled out over the few years, you could make a strong argument that GMail has done better and had more of an impact than anything else to come out of the Googleplex. After hitting the online e-mail scene at a time when Yahoo and Hotmail were well established, GMail has become one of the leading services, and led the way in pushing forward the envelope. Most notably was the decision right out of the gate to offer far more storage space than Yahoo or Hotmail. GMail rolled out piece of goodness today...

Motorola’s Fallen and It Can’t Get Up [Voices]By Eric Savitz, Blogger and Columnist, Barron’s, Tech Trader Daily For Motorola (MOT), the darkest days may still lie ahead. Tero Kuittinen, an analyst with Global Crown Capital, this morning repeated his Underweight rating on Motorola, and cut his price target on the shares to $2.50, from $3.50. He thinks the company will miss its Q4 guidance, and fall short of the 2009 consensus “by a wide margin.” In short, Kuittinen contends that “Motorola is now on the verge of losing its status as a global handset brand.” Kuittinen says that recent discussions with AT&T (T) and Verizon (VZ) “imply...

Linky Goodness, November 19Today is the last day of the year with all odd digits: 11-19 (or 19-11 if you’re so inclined). Thought you’d like to know. Facebook has found a way to turn its platform into profits by rolling out a Verified App program—$375 per application application. App application…. Ahem. Per year. Now that we’ve got that out of the way, on to the rest of the Googly news. Still looking for its nonsearch monetization sweet spot, Google is adding ads across its web properties including image search and news. Tired of the way Gmail looks? Good news: Gmail is getting themes....

Want In The Obama Administration? Get A BlogObama is staffing his administration with bloggers. New Secretary of Health and Human Services Tom Daschle's last post to "Travels With Tom" -- a "travel web log" -- is from August 2003. It features a long quote from Monty Python's Holy Grail movie. The post before that one reads: "I seem to be lost in a vast farm in southeast South Dakota. Send a rescue party!" Obama's choice to direct the Office of Management and Budget, Peter Orszag, keeps a more up-to-date blog. Unbloggily, he keeps comments off. So we're not sure we agree with Matthew Yglesias when he calls...

Andrew Warner is an Internet entrepreneur and the founder of Mixergy.com. Tim Ferriss’ relationships with bloggers helped him reach the New York Times bestseller list with his book, The Four Hour Work Week. I recently called Tim to ask him how to market to bloggers. Here’s what he taught me: Start before you need something “I reached out to certain bloggers as far as a year in advance of the book being published,” Tim told me. By building his connections ahead of time, he never had to start a relationship with a blogger by asking for a favor. Meet bloggers...

Obama Gave Me a Guilt Trip [Video]I was reading this story about President-Elect Obama. All of a sudden, this wave of guilt came over me. If a man running for President (soon to be so) can work out six days per week, what the hell is wrong with me? As if being a blogger is more work than being the commander-in-chief? Thanks for the inspiration, Obama. We’ll see if it’s short-lived....
