NowPublic Releases Randomly Assembled New York 'MostPublic' List - Posted July 21, 2008
We love lists. Especially ones that sort of tell us what we already know, except they randomly switch it around just to keep it interesting? Make sure we're paying attention? It's not clear.

Arianna Huffington to Appear at the Traveler's Bookcase Tonight - Posted June 5, 2008
Back when we did a weekly listings post, we paid attention to author appearance information a little more closely.

Good morning Washington. For those of you wondering why we're not including the Politico, Roll Call and The Hill in our "Pictures of Morning Papers" feature -- which we'd love to do -- it's because a.)

Bloggoddess Arianna Huffington writes that there were two people at the Google Zeitgeist gathering that stuck in her mind: Sustainable South Bronx's Majora Carter (who we admired in Aspen) and Rich Silverstein, who showed clips of the most powerful moments in radio, TV, and film. In fact, Huffington was so taken with... [UnBeige]

Tina Daunt: Lifestyles of the Rich, Famous and Politically Active - Posted November 19, 2007
We don't like to think of Tina Daunt as a society columnist. She does so much more than just report the latest bon mots of sauced rich white people. But, we guess, nobody gets a cool gig like hers without having to put in some time doing the expected tales of ostentatious... [FishBowlLA]

Speaking of: How to Start a Media Company - Posted October 10, 2007
At parties and events, some entrepreneurial journalists (is that an oxymoron or what?) have started to ask "How do you start a media company?" and I've even considered writing a book on the subject.

Betsy Morgan Named Huffington Post CEO - Posted October 2, 2007
After two years, Betsy L. Morgan is leaving her post as senior VP CBS Interactive and GM of CBSNews.com to helm HuffPo. We're guessing this means there will be more video on the text-heavy site. At the very least, maybe she could bring Hannah Storm with her. ... [FishBowlLA]

Rosie Goes 'No Bullsh*t' at Matrix Awards - Posted April 24, 2007
The last place we'd expect to hear the "f" word is the New York Women in Communications Matrix Awards but, thanks to emcee Rosie O'Donnell, the usually inspiring event had some cringe-inducing moments that raised more than a few eyebrows during Monday's lo-o-ng afternoon at the Waldorf.
