David Pogue UNLEASHED!
If you're a fan of David Pogue (New York Times columnist, "Missing Manual" publisher, Emmy winning CBS News correspondent, best-selling author, writer of fine Introductions, and all-around tech icon), you will be happy to know that David's New York Times Web log is now a real blog: Pogue's Posts.
In his recent newletter Pogue writes: "For the longest time, I quietly posted daily tidbits in my own little corner of NYTimes.com, but it wasn't *really* a blog; it was just sort of a big white Web page. There were no reader comments, no archives, no categories--none of the things that make a blog a blog."
"But beginning yesterday, the NYTimes.com folks gave it the extreme makeover treatment, so now I can recommend it with pride. It even has an RSS feed, so my daily posts can come to *you*. (Details on that are here.)"
David is one of the most insightful tech writers and always a pleasure to read. It's great to see him get his own space on that busy NYT website. So rejoice all you Pogue-ites, Poguettes, and Pogue-aholics!
