My Mossberg Solution
April 8, 2009 | Author: Paul Sullivan | Filed under: News
Today was a day for getting yelled at, but none of it was my fault. A friend from Boston – and former 7-Up spokes model, no less – yelled at me first thing this morning for not posting more to this site. Later, the winner of my high school’s ninth-grade English award took a moment out of packing for Disney World to yell at me for being equally behind. But it was really my wife, yelling at me for a different but related reason, who got me to thinking. I haven’t been posting to this site very much for two reasons: one, I sold a book on a completely different topic and I have been working on it in every spare moment, and two, I have been posting on a paying site as part of a group of journalists. It’s called True/Slant.
Not really talking about it until it went live was what got my wife miffed. More than that, I didn’t mention it until someone else did. (This is why it’s a good thing I am not on Twitter – self-promotion is my weak spot.) Walter Mossberg, the influential Wall Street Journal technology critic, reviewed the site tonight. His piece, True/Slant Tests Another Model of Web Journalism, came out a few hours ago. I received an email about it so I read the piece with my wife next to me and then watched Mossberg’s video, which features me. This was great. It highlights Money Talks, the site I blog on at True/Slant, and is generally favorable.
So, chances are, this is where I will be blogging from now on. Please go there.
