Bits and Pieces



Philadelphia Magazine's Daily Examiner looks at preparations for the next round of cuts that is probably coming at the Inquirer and Daily News. This time, they are going after non-guild management (who needs those guys, anyway?)
Oliver Picher of Fun With Networking reports that another blogphiladelphia conference is in the planning stage, though the details are being more closely guarded than Obama's VP pick was.
Interested in Larry Mendte's post-plea confessional? Here it is, though I don't really care to get into it (Its all Alycia's fault). Way too much information, Larry. Though I'm sure he would fit in fine at WIP.
Chris Stanchak, TickeLeap's founder and CEO, learned a lesson about the value of using Google Alerts, when he found someone advertising for
programmers to create a "clone" of his company's website.
Fwix, a local news and information aggregation site, has expanded its
service to Philadelphia, though I don't see too much content there yet.
Anybody know if there is an iPhone developers meetup or user group in the area? Not that I'm one, just interested and haven't seen anything like that going on.
