Video startup seesmic has released a terrific conversational tool - a plugin for WordPress that enables you to create and post a video comment.

I’ve upgraded this blog to WordPress 2.5, the latest version of the content management system released yesterday.
For me, upgrading was simplicity itself as I used the 1-click install procedure provided by my hosting service, DreamHost.

This looks very interesting - CoverItLive, a free web service that enables you to live blog an event using a full range of rich media content: text, audio, video, images, etc, that you can embed into your own site.
You can then save the whole live blog so you’ll have a record of everything that [...]

This is what you now see if you go to any of the websites of Blognation, the blog network that’s been embroiled in scandal and controversy for the past few weeks.
It’s too bad. If there’s one thing that disgraced entrepreneur Sam Sethi did, it was pull together a great team of talented writers in [...]
