The Hybrid Media Takeover

By Maegan Carberry ⋅ June 17, 2009 ⋅ One comment

As I left the 140 Characters Conference (a.k.a. “The Davos of Twitter”) yesterday afternoon, I was approached by a lovely suit-by-day-DC-based-lifestyle-blogger-by-night who wanted to chat about the business of blogging. The whimsical tone in her voice implied that her relatively interesting day job was not half as rewarding as the passion project she feeds in [...]

Last Night’s ‘Virtually Speaking’ with Jimbo Hoyer

By Maegan Carberry ⋅ April 24, 2009 ⋅ One comment

Much like the way I came to appreciate some of society’s great phenomenons such as “The OC” after the fact, I finally ventured into Second Life last night as a guest on “Virtually Speaking.” (Note my hot avatar provided by the VS team, including the not-exactly-true-to-life long legs.)
Jay Ackroyd (a.k.a. Jimbo Hoyer) and I discuss [...]

#facebookshouldnotbetwitter

My typical late-night routine of catching up on news and friends has taken a serious hit ever since Facebook launched its unfortunate redesign.
I’m a journalist and web site proprietor; I know most redesign backlash is really a learning curve for the lesser evolved among us who will eventually embrace the enhanced services in the [...]

My Sneak Peek at the Future of Entertainment

By Maegan Carberry ⋅ March 24, 2009 ⋅ One comment

Just got home after screening the first four episodes of Harper’s Globe, the latest project from my friends Miles Becket and Greg Goodfried. Miles & Greg are the notorious creators of LonelyGirl15 and Kate Modern, which for you non-techies out there means essentially that they are Internet Gods whom some consider to be the “founders” [...]

Peace Out, New York

By Maegan Carberry ⋅ February 27, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Everyone has an alternate fantasy life, in which she packs up and flees her surroundings to live the secret, unfulfilled destiny of her dreams. Whether fantasizing about skyscrapers while at the beach in San Diego as a girl, or from my reporter’s cubicle at the Chicago Tribune after college ended, or while driving the spiraling [...]

Ramping Up the Adventure

By Maegan Carberry ⋅ February 10, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

I’ve reached a leg of the trip that’s particularly challenging: I’ve established that I’m returning home to Los Angeles at the end of the month (via Chicago, very briefly) and I’m feeling a sensory overload. My good friends who have sat patiently on the phone while I work through the sheer volume of activities, emotions [...]

Live From the “What Would Google Do?” Book Party

By Maegan Carberry ⋅ February 5, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Popped by the Daylife HQ this evening to listen to Jeff Jarvis give his much-hyped (or hated) Google schpeel and rather enjoyed myself. The q-and-a crowd had lots of disdain for what they perceived to be (if not “evil”) non-transparent behavior on the part of the search juggernaut. It’s a fair criticism, but Jarvis is [...]

Has the Republican Party Died?

Elizabeth Blackney of “Media Lizzy” joins Teresa and I to weigh in on Obama’s victory. How did each candidate perform in his post-election speech? Will the McCain camp blame Palin tomorrow morning? What will the Republicans do now to rebuild their party?
