Scoble is trying a little game. He is telling everyone to put "brrreeeport" into their blogs. It is partial a test to see how long it takes for the search engines to notice. It is also your way to get listed with all the A-listers and break down the gates.
I thought I would play along. You can follow the brrreeeport progress over on Technorati.
Here is a blurb from MarketWatch's Weekly Roundup I just got:
Writing on the Wall: Bloggers come to the Street, but is anyone reading?
By now you've heard just about all you can take about blogs. You know, the amateurish web sites that the media keeps yabbering on about, but no one actually reads. See full story.
Writer David Weidner is not as judgmental as the headline reads. He points people to the good, the bad, and the future of Wall Street blogs. If you are interested in the genre you might want to check it out.
Rocketboom's Ebay auction ended tonight and the rights to the first week of ads went for $40,000.
I have wondered with many how Amanda and Andrew were going to make some money doing this.
It seems they have figured it out...
You need to click through to Johnnie Moore's blog and read the note that the employees of Blendz Coffee left their boss.
We purchased a backup drive for our household about a month ago. My wife has a Mac Mini and we bought the matching LaCie 250GB drive.
A couple days ago, Amy started noticing some problems with the Mini. It degraded quickly into not being able to login. I tried everything from running diagnostics to reinstalling OS X. No luck.
I made a trip to my local Apple store to give them a chance to take a look. They quickly declared the hard drive dead and replaced it.
Enter the backup drive. My wife is using Backup (need active .Mac account). All we had to do was hook-up the firewire cable between them and restore the files. It took some time (about an hour), but it was as easy as pie.
Backups use to be for servers and geeks. As more of our life ends up on our machines, we need to take precautions.
Go get yourself a external hard drive and a buy a recommended backup program. You will not regret the decision.
I remember hearing about Rollyo when it first launched and I couldn't think of a way it could be useful. Walt Mossenberg reviewed it this week in WSJ and it got me thinking again.
At 800ceoread, we are always looking for good material on business books. If you do a general search, you get a couple of good hits, but I know we are missing alot of good things. So, I decided to create a Rollyo search to see if I could do better.
In my searchroll, I have all the major business publications, some good business blogs and the 800ceoread family of sites.

The short answer is that I think there is something to limiting the number of sites that are searched. I looked up "alpha dogs", a new book from Donna Fenn. Check out the google results and the rollyo results. The Rollyo results are so much more relevant, such as finding the Inc. video interview with Fenn.
Others of you out there might similar needs, so I thought I would point you to this cool tool.
This continues to rank as my favorite holiday. There is something so pagen about worshipping a large rodent.
If you haven't heard, Phil says six more weeks of winter.
That conflicts with our local prognosticator here in Wisconsin. Jimmy the Groundhog says spring is on its way.
Wikipedia can catch you up on the history and tradition of GhD.
