Breaking: palmit.commentary acquired by New York Times

Cale Bruckner — Thu, 09 Aug 2007 00:25:23 +0000

I’m pleased to announce that palmit.commentary has been acquired by the New York Times for an undisclosed amount of (love that smell) cash.
The New York Times, smartly, rushed palmit.commentary to the top of their list of blogs to acquire. As many of you know, they just acquired the blog Freakonomics. More blog acquisitions are expected as part of the recently updated New York Times “stay relevant” business strategy. The acquisition was quick and painless – the whole transaction happened via PayPal and IM.
We’re working on integrating palmit.commmentary into the New York Times design template for acquired blogs. They said something about needing to spell-check my blog and make it look more like a newspaper but I expect to see my content on The New York Times soon. It will probably look a lot like this [[blogs.nytimes.com acquired blog template]]

I thought it would be a good idea to podcast some of my thoughts on my recent trip to Japan before I lose track of the details. So here we go, my 2nd podcast.

PalmIT Podcast #1 – It’s a First

I produced the 1st PalmIT podcast tonight – It’s a First – and I had a great time doing it. It isn’t long, it doesn’t feature anybody famous, and it doesn’t have any special effects to offer but it’s a 1st and worth a listen. I hope to do more in the future – we’ll see where this goes.
