POPSTop law firm pulls "hottest lawyer" contest from company blog This is funny. For those who don't know, Skadden is a MAJOR law firm in new york city. Apparently they were blogging about their annual "hottest lawyer at the firm" contest and a bunch of higher ups got pissed off. I'm so curious to know who won. Anyone with a photo, please share :)

POPSDr blogs own malpractice trial, loses Pediatrician Robert Lindeman started an anonymous blog, "drfleablog", where he talked about pediatrics issues. He was sued for failing to diagnose diabetes in a little boy who eventually died from it. In his blog, he would talk about the malpractice suit and make fun of the plaintiffs and the jury. Since he knew that malpractice cases hinge on what juries think of the doctor's moral character, the revelation that he was the author of the blog meant that his asshole nature would be exposed to the jury and his case would be sunk.

POPSChina backs down over blog ID proposal
Chinese bloggers will not have to register their real names online, after the government backed down over plans to enforce the proposals. With more and more stories surfacing regularly about web censorship, China's estimated 20 million bloggers will be pleased with the news that they will not be compelled to register their real names. The Internet Society of China (ISC) revealed on its website that it wanted bloggers to be self-disciplined and urged them to "consciously enhance their sense of responsibility and social awareness of public morality". One of the country's most famous bloggers, Ping Ke, told the BBC: "They are not forcing, but suggesting and encouraging people to do things now." Chinese bloggers protested at the proposals, which were viewed as methods by which the government could control information. Better services are being promised to those bloggers who opt to register their real names and personal details. Jeremy Goldkorn, founder of the website Danw

POPSI'm out of blog retirement Being that i spend 25 hours each day on clipmarks.com, this is where the focus of my clipping will be. But it will be interesting to see how it feels to also spread my clips and perspective outside the clipiverse and into the clip-to-blogosphere :)

POPSBlog focussed on cutting oil imports!! Of all the things we could do in this world to fight terrorism, help the environment, create jobs, lower oil prices, boost the economy, open a world of amazing possibilities...devoting our resources to creating alternative sources of energy should be our number one priority. I believe it should be a national (and global) mission that takes on greater focus and passion than when we committed to putting people on the moon. There is no question we can do it. There is no question people want it. There is a major question about why we're not doing it!

POPSWhat's the point of social studies? A student's perspective... very interesting point of view from a student (not sure what grade he's in). i just recently started reading Kazu's blog (http://kazublog14.blogspot.com/ ), but i really enjoy the honesty and subject matter. an honest perspective from a student growing up in california. props to the web for making it possible to be exposed to this.

POPSDave Winer responds to Mike Arrington's criticism... Here's the story in a nutshell. Dave Winer, Russell Shaw and Richard MacManus wrote blog posts about Web 2.0 basically being a lot of hype. Mike Arrington, Mr Web 2.0 himself, then wrote a blog post ripping into them for it. The content above is Dave Winer's response...i hope this debate continues as i personally find the "web 2.0" movement to be moving in the wrong direction and becoming more about hype and fraternity than anything. Would love to know what others think.

POPSGoogle spam blog search Apparently Google's blog search results include a lot of spam blogs. 2 things to point out here. Google blog search needs work (haven't tried it yet as i'm happy with IceRocket and Feedster) and people who create spam blogs suck!

POPSIce Rocket's method of tracking blog popularity perhaps a metric that would prove valuable here is how many people have created clipmarks from a blog. Or, to go one better, factor in how many other people add Clipmarks from specific blogs to their Clipmark Favorites list. Mark?
