Tolling'n'trawling of the news, news, and reviews
Interview with Patty on Clickz.com, with some notably strange quotes. (Stolen from stillcarl's post here, which also contains a Register article about Typepad woes.) And hey, since LJ's supposed to be aware of its teen contigent, here's one of Clickz.com's articles on adolescents.
Have also found other Patty trails at places:
Have also found other Patty trails at places:
"I have to go in and say, "This is a customer too and there's a balance we can strike between the needs of the advertiser and the needs of the audience.""
"We are just now starting to put the final touches on some of the initial advertisers that will be doing sponsored communities."
"As more and more people bring other media into places like this, the advertisers are going to get shut out." I don't find that to be true; most social network places have ads all over the place. YouTube has ads. Flickr doesn't, yet, I think, but I'm sure they will soon, with Yahoo behind them. LJ succumbed already.
The stuff they're not mentioning about with Vox that would make you not interested:
* No threaded comments, I swear to God. Reaction from many: WTF?
* No plain text editing abilities yet, period. I also saw a post saying that people couldn't load photos from outside the service into their posts as a result. You have to load it into the service to display it in the post; you can't just do
.
* No tweaking with the layout, of course.
