"Online news visionary" Neil Budde lands at startup DailyMe
Neil Budde, the man who built the pay wall at the Wall Street Journal before moving to Yahoo to lead up their News, Sports and Finance sites, has landed at news aggregator startup DailyMe — guess that gig at the LA Times didn't pan out. Budde left the Journal during the dot-bomb, only to picked up by Terry Semel in the executive hiring spree that included Lloyd Braun. How does Fort Lauderdale-based DailyMe differentiate itself from aggregators like Budde's old Yahoo News or the Huffington Post? A special application that automatically prints your personalized news at home on a set schedule — which sounds an awful lot like those "news to your fax machine" services from yesteryear. -

WSJ Goes Back to 1999 to Freak Out About 'l33t 5p34k'
In a blatant example of downright-lazy journalism, the Wall Street Journal has just discovered the fact that, OH NOES, there is slang coming from the internet! And kids are using it irl (that's "in real life," for you WSJ writers). [Gizmodo] -

Walt Mossberg Has the iPhone
Ooooohhh. Someone's gonna be in trouble with Steve Jobs. Mossberg has the iPhone as of this morning, and he's already flaunting it in public. An explicit rule between Apple and A-listers with early access is that this kind of showboating is a no-no. [Gizmodo] -

Tomorrow is Caturday!
CONFONZ — Yes, cheezburgers have taken over the IntarWeb. Who are we to go against the grain? Bitching and moaning won't help. The Conference Fonzerelli is still here, though his reign of terror is coming to a rapid end. With the weekend, and the Sea Siren parade coming up, the Fonz needs to trade in his leather jacket for a Spongebob-colored cardboard box. In an effort to get him out the door faster, he's wrapped up a nicely flavored selection of little dots for your mastication. After the jump, the Reiser alibi gets stronger, Semel on a Cruise, the Ballminator gets with L. Ron, and did the WSJ change its story? More » -
