*I've drafted unpublished posts explaining much more about past, present and future of Blogoscoped, and the history of Google news reporting, but ... oh, for now let's just say I've blogged with all of you almost daily for 7 years and loved every bit of it, and hope we continue our conversation in real life and the many digital places we're at!

many designer wants to make simplest design. I think the amount of simplest shape or design is very limited, so sometimes one design partly will have similarities with other design. Different process can make almost look alike design.
Google shed a little light on the popularity of its blog posts from 2008. The top item: the premature announcement of the Chrome Web browser. The post had 1,735,093 unique visitors, 12 percent of the total visitors to the official Google blog. That implies there were a total of about 12.5 million unique visitors for the blog overall--not bad for an official corporate blog.
Here is the logic: the main source of links to a blog are its most popular posts. But those posts also get dozens, if not hundreds of comments. In the end of the day, therefore, you will get only a fraction of the PageRank value of that post flowing back to internal pages and posts.
ok i need a lil insight on something . my site is an art community and the data on homepage changes all the time i mean users constantly posts new artworks . so thumbnails and links on homepage updates every min. thats why i place a nofollow in the structure so they are automatically nofollowed. is that bad ?
Tech news that instantly spread beyond the blogosphere to the mainstream media is yesterday's announcement from Google about Google Chrome (link not working as I write this), a new browser that's expected to be launched in beta sometime today.
I have my own small library of hack books. And my own advice about books that talk about , wordpress, SEO, google apps etc is: they crystallize the collective unconsciousness of thousands of bloggers and pro and semi pro web experts in one clear manual. What I mean by that is, I read about a dozen blogs that deal with the subject of web 2.0. However, often times I have a mess in my head regarding the best ways to practically implement the current advice on web 2.0. Hack books like Google office hacks, help put it all together.
As with most things I covered in my blog, I tried to be neutral and see the good and bad sides of something. Oh, a hard goal to achieve for any journalist or blogger, perhaps even impossible, but the community and feedback from people is crucial and will help it! In fact, I asked Daniel Brandt to write a follow-up blog post on Blogoscoped, as guest editor, because I believe he deserved the same attention that my point had received (for reference: -11-10-n36.html).
@Shari; You bring up a good point about the public drama over a dietary shift. I've known a number of ex-veg*ns. Most simply decide the diet is not for them and move on. They don't write blog posts about it, they don't publish newspaper articles about it, they don't publish books about it and they don't dwell on it even for months afterwards. I think the publicly dramatic ex-veg*ns are working through some other issues, IMO.
Tasha may be overly dramatic, but in her defense (in response to the posts saying things like "most people who are ex-vegans just move on and don't blog about it") she is a food blogger. and until recently was a specifically vegan food blogger. So what did you expect her to do when she made this pretty major change?
Hi Ginny,Thank you for this post. It's really appreciated to get some feedback from a qualified nutritionist. I was deeply disturbed and saddened when I started to read the "Vegan No More" story. I thought, how sad for you. Moving on in life. Then I got to the part where the author felt it necessary to try to disprove veganism for its health, ethical and environmental aspects; that is where I started to get skeptical. If, as you say, if it is possible that there are some people who, despite all the information you provide about nutrients, still fail to thrive on a vegan diet, then we should be okay with that; but it doesn't disprove that a vegan diet is healthy, just, and indeed more environmentally friendly, and safe for most people.Another odd parallel is how both Keith and this blog author admit to feeling 'victimized' from other vegans, who apparently alienate and attack any vegan who falls off the bandwagon. This claim of oppression from vegans stretches a little thin, for me, and it obliterates the fact that vegans are a very tiny minority indeed, surrounded by a general public which is very supportive of the choices that Lierre and Tasha have made.I've concluded like you that we need to make more accurate information available about vegan diets. That means not touting inflated health claims (veganism will cure your cancer?), countering misconceptions, and providing accurate information about healthy and safe ways to manage a vegan diet.By the way I've never made any *special* effort to eat healthily in my 6 years of veganism. I eat quite a lot of carbohydrates, and do quite a lot of physical work. I eat a lot of vegetables, but not many fruits. I consume vegetable oils, and coffee and chocolate and desserts. My iron levels were perfect when I got blood tests done a year ago, and every other level was fine except B12 was "a little low". I've been supplementing with B12 (in a guaranteed-content nutritional yeast) and will get blood tests done again when I can. I've never used 'miracle' products like goji, maca, etc., because they are shipped long distances, but have a growing interest in hemispherically-appropriate plants like dandelion, rose hips, and blueberries for their nutritional 'superfood' status.Well I'm getting a little off-topic. Thanks again for putting "Vegan No More" in perspective, both here & through Twitter conversations.
I feel like I'm reading a Fox News article. Misquote much? Bend the truth much? Tasha has stood by you and re-posted your articles time and time again and this is how you treat her? I thought vegans were all about compassion. Compassion for animals, really? Have you heard the term 'Human Animal'? You people are about as compassionate as Pol Pot. Tasha knew that there would be a backlash from the most fundamentalist vegans, but this has really become a circus. The self-proclaimed hardcore among you have even threatened her family. Compassion or Mansonesque? It seems to me that Tasha said OUT LOUD the thoughts some of you are trying to suppress and that is really what is causing all the anger, hostility, and dismissiveness. I tried veganism on for size and it didn't fit. I am really glad it didn't because of the behavior I witnessed from the vegan fundies. I have never seen a group of people so judgmental, self-righteous, and fanatical as you lot.
What really intrigues me about these popular, frequently circulated ex-vegan articles is that the ex-vegan automatically gains credibility as one who had attempted veganism and had the experience and then failed or walked away, regardless of the reasons (if given), logic (sound or flawed), facts (true or false) presented, Two days, weeks or months ago when the ex-vegan was a vegan, he or she was not worth listening to, just another nut on the fringe. But give up veganism and suddenly you're a reliable source and your opinion is valuable.I'm an ex-ex-vegan myself for five years now. When I was an ex-vegan, omnivores did try to encourage me to talk smack about those crazy vegans, to distance myself, to claim that I tried being like them but came to my senses. When I really thought about and confronted why I wasn't vegan, though, I couldn't justify myself or be proud. I realized only that I had strayed from my principles about animals as property.I've been an ex-ex-vegan for five years and, when I read the countless accounts of former vegans who smack their newly-credible lips on dead pig and cow flesh with a free conscience, I want to tell my ex-ex-vegan story. I'm sure no one would listen, because most people who eat meat want to hear the ex-vegan saga that affirms their choices, but maybe I should anyway, somewhere. It would be nice to let the ex-vegans know that you can always come back to your senses.
Thank you! I had the Voracious Vegan bookmarked but hadn't read it in a while. I was surprised to read that she was no longer vegan, and a lot of red flags were raised when I read her paean to eating meat. Doctors notoriously are ill-informed about vegan diets and when they prescribe supplements, they prescribe high-dose supplements. Why couldn't she have tried an iron pill from the vitamin aisle in the store? As for her body not absorbing B12, as you said, there are different reasons. Sometimes low stomach acid will do it. And the fact that she started eating some sort of animal product every day was worrisome. If she has low iron and B12 that won't respond to supplementation, certainly a small piece of meat a couple times a week ought to do it, not bacon and eggs every day. Bacon? Bacon has never been a health food, not even among carnivores. Cured meats are one of the worst things to eat.I'm so glad I ran across this blog b/c I can now bookmark it. 2ff7e9595c
