[Friday Watch 3] Ingenio does AOL ... Pissed off journalist looking for love ... Fear and loathing at NAB

Fear and Loathing on the trail to NAB in Las Vegas…


Jochen Siegle and I are off to the desert oasis town of Las Vegas this weekend. Jochen is covering stories for Der Spiegel, and I will be on a panel at the National Association of Broadcasters show - "the world's largest electronic media show."


And my fellow panelists are of a considerable pedigree (how I got into such august company, God knows…!) Senior execs from Sony, Electronic Arts, Disney Interactive, CinemaNow and ... SiliconValleyWatcher! Moderated by Dan Scheinman, head of M&A at Cisco. (See panel details)


Happy-Hunter-Face.jpgIn an homage to St. Hunter (S. Thompson), the patron saint of bloggers, we will be renting a convertible and filling up the trunk with plenty of digital devices. We did consider also filling up with the stuff Hunter kept on hand, but we decided it would be rather challenging to source most of them … unless our good readers can help :-)

So, it’s road trip week in the Watcher for the next few days … filing from greasy spoons along the way… Is this the launch of bloggo journalism?


Ingenio is set to announce prime AOL partnership



Ingenio, which has pioneered the pay per call business model concept, will announce next week that AOL will feature its search for local merchant listings search box in a very prominent location.




Mystery journalist looks for love...


Thanks to Craig's List publicist Susan Mactavish Best for this one...


...from a recent Best Of posting on craigslist.


Hi. I'm a journalist. Or a reporter. Whatever word pisses you off more, I'm part of the mainstream media, the liberal media, the so-called liberal media. I am the epitome of all that is wrong with contemporary journalism.
