Work(ing Title)

Technorati announced yesterday that it has inked a deal with The Associated Press to connect bloggers with national newspapers. The deal will link blog posts to their referenced articles from the AP Custom News and display them on the sites of 440 national newspapers. The Washington Post and Newsweek already have similar deals with Technorati.

I’m really glad to see Technorati growing beyond the echochamber blogosphere. 53,651 is not a large enough number of people to cater to, as Scoble found out last week. THe import thing I think is that as long as guys like Thomas Hawk are bridging the gap to the 53,651 then at least there are examples to follow.

I was on the beach with Eli, and at that moment nowheredan sent me an invitation to obtain my very own GMail account. After determining the only truly righteous email address could involve my AIM screenname, I set about reading my daily blogs.

It was while reading Kottke.org that I noticed the relaunching of Blogger. The double-google-whammy hit me like a steaming pile of bulljive; clearly my new GMail address needed a fresh weblog to garnish.

So here we are, the innagural post, tapped out on my uber-phone no less. If it all works properly, there will most-likely be four more entries before my attention is sapped away by something shiny…or Eli’s butt.
