— Clay Shirky brings the smackdown on micropayments.

— Simon Owens writes about The Printed Blog, which I haven’t mentioned here before because it just seems like a spectacularly bad idea. But best of luck to them.

    Joshua… just out of curiosity… why do you think that the Printed Blog is a bad idea? It’s self-selected (based on where you pick it up), hyperlocal (community based bloggers in addition to national ones), it’s anti- the “one-size-fits-all” model of traditional newspapers so advertisers only pay a fraction of current rates and can target specific buyers; we pay the bloggers a portion of the revenue from ads… what don’t you like about the model? Thanks… Josh (founder and publisher; The Printed Blog)
