At the Internet Strategy Forum last week in Portland I met Mike Moran, a distinguished engineer at IBM. But we don’t talk about engineering, instead, we talk about marketing.

“Huh?”

In the video you’ll see why.

Oh, boy, now THIS is how to properly respond to blog criticism.

UPDATE: my blog commenters didn’t like it. I think the reason I liked it was that he laughed it off. I’ve tried a variety of ways to respond to various criticisms around the blogs and most just get you seen as an arrogant jerk, or dig you deeper in the hole, or feed the critic’s goals. Chris’s laughing it off is often the best way to respond, in my experience.

But, I admit, it might not be something worth watching in hindsight. So, I’ve just put up a bunch of great blogs on my link blog.

Experience a little bit of the TechCrunch party — 30 seconds of audio at a time.

David Weekly of PBWiki with a little adoption news about their wiki service.

OpenDNS’s CEO, David Ulevitch (a little hard to hear, but he was telling me why OpenDNS is a cool service — I’m going to try it out and get over there for an interview).

Ash Damle, CEO of Medgle, a personalized medical search engine, explains why his service is unique.

Bradley Horowitz, of Yahoo (the guy who bought Flickr) talks to me about what he’s excited about.

Dave Winer talks to me about TwitterGram.

Ryan Hoge and Doug Pierce of Microsoft talk to me about FolderShare and LiveFolders from Microsoft.

And before the party Larry Magid (famous tech journalist) told us that he’s partnering with PodTechww on a show called Digital Crossroads.
