So sayeth Michael Silence who wrote yesterday at the Knoxville News Sentinel that news outlets have bigger things to contend with than trolls. He’s responding to a recent article in the American Journalism Review. He thinks there is a whole lotta nothing about the information being given out which is targeting anonymous online commenters....
Christian Grantham is done but not for the reasons you might think. This morning I was getting gas for the lawn mower when I saw these signs on the BP gas pumps. They warned customers that “gas pump won’t stop by itself” and “gas will pour out if you don’t stop it.” As I...
Some people call it an “anxiety attack.” Cup of Joe calls it “worrying.” My niece calls it “nervousing” and I guess I would call it good-old fashioned fretting. Here’s what he’s talking about. Here in the modern now-a-go-go times, many achieving Americans would advise me to drop the worries, make sure I carve out...

Mack has done his, as he usually does. And, Hay-ull to the NO, I’m not quoting a bit of it because you have to see what he has actually done and read the entire thing. A big WHOA. Read it now.
Mr. Mack is taking a good look at his online life. I think what he writes expresses what a great deal of what a lot of bloggers feel these days. I have dozens of posts languishing in my ‘drafts’ folder. They will probably remain there, unfinished, and eventually deleted because the subject matter has...
Christian Grantham is writing today about local bloggers. The former producer for WKRN, the ABC affiliate in Nashville, has been following the technology as well as content management systems regarding MSM’s roles in the blogging community for a long time. The effort by mostly print and broadcast to figure out how best to harness...
‘To hell with all the bloggers’ – Candidate Willie Herenton
Buried in a story in the Commercial Appeal yesterday that was wrought with various confusing items from former Mayor Willie Herenton, we read the quote ” to hell with all the bloggers.” I had to really take some time to chew on that one from Herenton. On one hand, it’s probably good to see...
