In Brief: Journal Sentinel Gets Company in “Embarrassing Video” Arena, Twitter Annoyances, Conservative Weblog Closes Shop

It was a great weekend to be a fan of the outdoors and the Brewers! The downside is it’s Monday. The upside is it’s a short holiday week. If you’re traveling as a result, say happy birthday to the modern American Interstate system; it’s 53 today!

  • The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel isn’t the only newspaper resorting to embarrassing video productions in an attempt to be all “new media”, the Washington Post has jumped on board as well, with equally awkward results.
  • Twitter annoyance of the day: “Re-tweeting” insightful quotes from well known business executives doesn’t make you a better business executive, it just shows that you’re an unoriginal business executive. Yes, Jack Welsh may be one of the greatest CEO’s of our time! But copying & pasting his quotes into Twitter doesn’t make you Jack Welsh.
  • Another conservative Wisconsin weblog closes it’s doors. First it was James Widgerson, now it’s the “Badger Blog Alliance”. Regardless of political leanings, when it’s time to hang it up, it’s time to hang it up, and anyone who can recognize when it’s that time instead of beating a dead horse gets props in my opinion. Plus, it may make some room for some fresh new conservative blogger, which is a good thing.
