Turkey Cannon Cooks Turkeys, Does Not Shoot ThemFrom Serious Eats Fill the cylinder of the Turkey Cannon with your favorite cooking liquid, stick a turkey on it, and let it roast to perfection. Like in a beer can chicken, the liquid helps cook and flavor the bird from the inside resulting in a faster cooking time and more flavor. [via CNet Blogs]...

12 Great Defunct Tech MagazinesHarry McCracken, who certainly knows a thing or two about this topic, has a list of the Twelve Greatest Defunct Tech Magazines Ever. I do miss the sass of MacUser, I do remember the fun stuff in Computer Gaming. I would also add BBS Magazine to the list -- I loved them because they never talked down to their readers... Open question: where's the similar list for online sites and blogs that might not have gone out of biz, but are no longer recognizable? For example, I'd say Wonkette was never the same once Ana Marie Cox left. Others? email...

10 More Semantic Apps to WatchIn November 2007, we listed 10 Semantic apps to watch and yesterday we published an update on what each had achieved over the past year. All of them are still alive and well - a couple are thriving, some are experimenting and a few are still finding their way. Now we're going to list 10 more Semantic apps to watch. These are all apps that have gotten onto our radar over 2008. We've reviewed all but one of them, so click through to the individual reviews for more detail. It should go without saying, but this is by no means...
When did ReadWriteWeb start using multi-page posts? That is so disappointing. - Rob Diana
Hi Richard, Thank you for including Imindi in the watching list. I am sorry that the last comment was not complete due to some reasons I am not sure. I was in hurry to a meeting before posting the comment. Imindi is certainly a unique one. To me, Imindi points out a better and probably more natural path how the Web may gradually approach the Semantic Web from Web 2.0. "Semantics", the term itself represents certain subjective judgment by individuals. Many of the mainstream Semantic Web approaches try to avoid this issue since it is too hard for machines to handle. By contrast, Imindi believes that this issue is inevitable. At the same time, Imindi also agrees that by the current technology machines truly cannot solve the problem well. Therefore, Imindi suggests much more human intervention into the construction of Semantic Web than many other Semantic Web researchers have suggested. From the research point of view, it is less machine-automated. From the practice point of view, however, we believe it is m - Yihong Ding
Rob, why is it disappointing? It makes total sense to put long articles over 2 or more pages. Jeez, give us a break. Sometimes I get tired of whining from people about little things like that. It seems to be cool to dislike pagination, like the Friendfeed crowd gets brownie points for saying "ohhh, pagination is evil". But if you think about it logically, pagination splits up long content so that it becomes more readible. So you have to make an extra click, so what?! - Richard

InLinks - TextLinkAds 2.0In the last 24 hours MediaWhiz (disclosure - they are sponsors of this site) have released a new advertising product for those interested in selling text links on their blogs) called InLinks. InLinks is an ad network that allows advertisers to buy text links within the content of your posts. The links pass on Google Juice (ie they don’t have nofollow tags), they are approved by publishers before going live and they don’t have any kind of indication that they are ads on them (no popups like Kontera ads for example). Lets be clear - these ads are against Google’s...

A Reminder To Read Your ReceiptsOne of my favorite blogs is PassiveAggressiveNotes.com, and today they've got a doozy.

If You Are Going To Use a Static Homepage, Hand Code It in WordPressAs most of you probably already know, WordPress is expanding far beyond a blogging platform, towards a complete Content Management System (CMS). In simple words, this means that the WordPress open source software can be used to build virtually any type of website, including blogs, company sites and online stores. One of the features that WordPress introduced to walk in that direction was the ability to be able to use a static front page. You just need to click on “Settings” and then “Reading,” and select which of your pages should be displayed as the static homepage. It is a...

How to Promote a Brand New BlogDuring PubCon last week, Vanessa Fox and I managed to sneak away to lunch alone to have some catch up time since both of our schedules are a bit insane. After I calmed down from being attacked by a random sparrow (it was a really, REALLY big sparrow, ok?), the topic of conversation turned to Vanessa launching her new blog this week (uh, at least that’s the plan), Nine by Blue. We were discussing proper and effective tactics to use for promoting new blogs and I made the mention that bloggers could take a lesson from actors, writers and musicians...

Post Worthy As a blogger do you hold yourself to a posting standard?  The blogs about blogging would certainly say so.  I have always thought the blogs about blogging amusing.  You know which ones I mean.  The blogs that tell you what, when, and how to write, be successful and oh yeah get rich from your blog.  Yeah you know which ones I am talking about.  Those sites that discuss how to make money on your blog and give out pointers are some of the only blogs actually making money. So my theory slash tip slash advice would be for someone...

Who Needs Subscriber Counts AnywaysYuwanda Black over at BloggingTips.com published a great article about why you shouldn't worry about your subscriber count, at least not in the first year. Her article hits a number of spots, especially regarding the first year of blogging and how your focus should be entirely centered around how many subscribers you have. I remember when I started blogging seriously, I had no idea what a subscriber count was. I also remember browsing around to the various blogs and seeing that they all had this Feedburner chicklet which let the world know essentially how popular their blog was. When I...

On Holidash - Turkey Leftovers and Basting Turkeys with a TurkeyFiled under: On the BlogsWhat in the world can you do with all those leftovers? The feast is done, the dishes are clean, but there's a huge pile of turkey, veggies, and savory treats to store and eat. But before the leftovers, there's the whole idea of basting. You could do it with your regular ol' baster, but that's boring. Why not try one that is turkey-themed? It'll get you gobbling all day.Permalink | Email this | Comments...
