Bill Gross, Founder of Idealab, tells John Battelle in The Search “The more I [thought about it], the more I realized that the true value of the Internet was in its accountability. Performance guarantees had to be the model for paying fo media.” That accountability has spoiled me.

Twitter may not have gone mainstream yet, but it's getting there. It has also just been discovered by another big voice in the 40-something crowd. Like us, John Battelle can't quite figure out how it works yet (where do those Tweets go , exactly, other than to our Twitter room and Twitter pages'). But now that he's joined the Twitterati, he fears that he will become obsessed. See Also:...

So John Battelle is hopping on Twitter . I have yet to be lured, so bear with me as I attempt to satirize without deep first-hand knowledge.

"So Google just acquired Volvo! Cool for a number of reasons. I will have a...

Anyone telling you that Federated Media, the online ad network which reps Boing Boing, GigaOm, TechCrunch and other blogs, has is dead wrong. It's true, Oak Investment Partners and others paid $50 million for shares of Federated. But only half of that went to the company, we're told; the rest went to founder John Battelle and other employees. According to our source, Battelle's...

SAN FRANCISCO--"It turns out that the Internet has worked pretty well," industry mainstay Marc Andreessen told an audience at the Web 2.0 Expo here Thursday morning. Andreessen's keynote interview with Federated Media chief John Battelle was somewhat of a history lesson into the distant past of the Web (you know, 15 years ago) followed by the requisite speculation about an uncertain...

This is actually pretty funny. John Battelle, author of SearchBlog, which covers the search industry, discovered that if you type "John" into Google -- his entry comes up first . Yes, first. It is followed by entries for the Gospel of John, John Kerry, John Lennon and John Cusack, all of whom are no doubt of more interest to vastly more people than...

John Battelle is very happy because he’s the #1 John on Google. Except when I do the same search, he comes up fifth: What gives?

For once, tech publisher John Battelle has timed a bubble just right. With Wired, where he was a founding editor, he was too early; with The Industry Standard, the tech weekly which crashed and... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]
