Google’s Knol - A Wikipedia Killer or a Blog Killer?
by Darren Rowse at
So today Google finally opened up and launched Launched Knol (it’s been coming for a while) a place where people can publish ‘authoritative articles about specific topics’. It’s like Wikipedia in that articles can be edited by others - but changes need to be approved by the authors of the...
A Chapter Closes
by Rachel at
I’ve been thinking about this post a lot over the last couple of weeks. Typical of a relationship you try to save by changing the person, I attempted for a while (actually over a month now) to turn what once was a forum for writing into a pseudo daily photoblog. It...
Taking stock, passages, new beginnings, & leaving b5media
by Tris Hussey at
I’m back from vacation, clearly, and funny how things can change in a short few days (or week, if you prefer). I started this post enroute to Jamaica. Leaving on my first real vacation in at least 4 years, but perhaps closer to 5. It seems that I only post...
You’re Invited to a b5media Lifestyles Picnic
by Gayla at
This month, Lifestyles decided to have a little fun with one of summer’s favorite pastimes - picnics. As we take a stroll around the channel, you’ll find recipes, tips and a few laughs thrown in for free. Let’s get going, while everything is still fresh. Strawberry Rhubarb Crunch by Robust Cooking Watermelon Raspberry Lemonade...
Watch Them Heavy Plates
by Darcie at
This is not my story, however, it is an awesome story that needs to be on the Internet. Someone I know, (who has asked not to be named, so we will call him Brad) was working out one day, trying to be a superstar doing shoulder shrugs, because you can use...

A Secret to Sustain Yourself as a Blogger
by Darren Rowse at
Today I want to talk about an issue may seem more suited to a ’self help’ blog than a blog about blogging - but it’s something that I think is pretty important you want to be a successful blogger. It’s something that is so important that it can make or...

Brian and Mark in Toronto
by Ed at
Brian Layman and Mark Jaquith are currently up in the Toronto office. Mark got here on time. Brian, well, not so much. They are both still the same as they were when we all saw them at SXSW in March. Brian hasn’t shaved yet. Mark is still uber-cool. If I had to describe...
I Have an Advance Copy of Neal Stephenson’s “Anathem”!
by Joey deVilla at
Neal Stephenson’s Anathem A large, thick bubble-wrap-padded envelope arrived for me at the b5media office. As you can see in the photo of the label below, it’s from HarperCollins publishers: I opened the envelope to my surprise, here’s what was inside: I was stunned: it’s the much-anticipated Anathem, the upcoming book by T3H...
softly into that dark knight
by LRN at
I didn’t rush out and buy a ticket for the first screenings of the Dark Knight and maybe I should have. Like a band-aid which has to be removed in one sharp tug, I should have stood in line, jammed myself into some bad seats, and resigned myself to spending...

Social Media Love-In: Phase 2 Coming Soon
by Darren Rowse at
Wow - when I posted an invitation this morning for ProBlogger readers to promote their social media profiles on this post I didn’t know what would happen - but I suspected it would be fun. It’s been almost 9 hours since the post went live and over 280 readers have participated...
AdSense Announce Changes to Ad Ecosystem.
by Darren Rowse at
Today AdSense publishers (or at least some of them) received the following email outlining some recent ‘changes and improvements’ to the Google ad system. These changes largely revolve around new features that they’ve added to AdWords to let advertisers target websites differently (more control). One of the big changes is the introduction...
