<![CDATA[Is Steve Gillmor on the market?]]>Hmmm, InfoRouter shut down? Now who’ll say “Office is Dead?” Oh, I wanted to see what the rumor mill is saying but Valleywag’s servers are down and have been for more than an hour (like I said, I’ve been avoiding doing work). Bummer.

Update: since Jason Calacanis is busy trying to buy Digg, without paying hundreds of millions of dollars for it, and is now fighting with the entire Web 2.0 media (isn’t that just Mike Arrington and Tim O’Reilly?) I figure I should do something equally fun.

I’d love to hire Steve Gillmor. Seriously. We could do a show titled “you are dead.”

Then, we could talk about all the stuff that is dead. Newspapers. Magazines. Microsoft Office. Whatever. And we’d be so bombastic and fun that we’d gather an audience. Or, at least get invited to attend industry conferences and do more panel discussions where we’d stroke our beards (I’ll grow one) and say things to piss off Goebbels. Things like “Apple is dead.”

I hope I live long enough to say “RSS is dead.”

Of course we’d have comments where you could write “Scoble is dead.”

I just hope I’m always there to read THOSE. 🙂
