Tooting my own horn: Sony Boycott press coverage

I’m going to occasionally post stuff here about the Sony Boycott that doesn’t seem appropriate for that site. Since this site is allowed to be as narcissistic as it has to, these things will end up here…

The Baltimore Sun name checked me on Sunday, citing both the Sony Boycott Blog and my original post on the topic as evidence of the role of bloggers in keeping the Sony DRM story alive. Nice to be cited in company with Cory Doctorow of BoingBoing and Mark Russinovich of Sysinternals.
Our old friends at the Guardian also cited the blog in their discussion of the case as an indication of how badly things are going for Sony BMG.
An MSNBC column that appears to be a list of random links clicked on while surfing Slashdot and Digg pointed to the boycott.
Finally, Home Theatre Magazine cited the boycott blog as part of its analysis of how this fiasco is damaging its reputation with customers.

I’ve previously cited cases where the BBC, the Toronto Star, and others have pointed to me, as well.

For the record….

I did not tell Bob Woodward that Valerie Plame was an undercover agent. I figure that, as long as we in the blogosphere all come clean, and further vow that we’re not putting ourselves at risk of perjury to do so, we can narrow it down. I like the suspect that Michael Bérubé puts the finger on, but of course there are others. (Just don’t tell Pat!)

Ask Houseblogs.net your home improvement questions

Cool new feature on Houseblogs.net, the site that aggregates the home improvement ramblings of housebloggers worldwide: Ask.Houseblogs.net. It’s still in beta, in fact there’s only one question posted right now. But I can think of no better way to leverage the collective bruised fingers and hard learned lessons of all us amateur contractor types than through a model like this. Brilliant, and kudos to Aaron and Jeannie for putting it together.
