Trade Secrets

We listened to the latest Yeast Radio podcast, and laughed until we realized it was all an act. Madge is not at all what he or she appears to be. I looked over at Adam and asked how he felt about this. ‘Not good.’ Then he asked how I felt, and I said I had repped Madge as being something other than what she or he was. An act. We both agreed we should do an instant podcast to explain and raise questions.

Everybody’s party in, and they ain’t no news, but it’s goooooood. Has the world turned Madge? Meet Ron Bloom and play guess the cuntry song with Dave and Adam. It’s a Madge Madge Madge Madge World!

It’s been over a month since the last Trade Secrets, what with Adam’s move and bandwidth situation, and my persistent cold and laryngitis, well, it’s been hard to get it together. Even so the plan for our new venture is taking shape. In this TS, we talk about the four sides to the puzzle, Content tools. Readers and aggregators, iPods and iPod-alikes. Content. Bandwidth. Think of this as a state-of-the-industry piece for this tiny little boomtown, by Adam and myself.

Adam, Steve Gillmor and I review the third BloggerCon, all in the same room at Rickey’s Hyatt in Palo Alto. The sound quality is mostly good, if the content is suprisingly mundane. Blah blah blah blah blah blah BloggerCon.

Bruce Springsteen plays for the Boss in Madison. The Red Sox win. Adam and Dave shoot the shit for an hour or more. And the MP3 actually made it to the Web! Now that’s some shit!
