Valleywag
Valleywag, in a vain attempt at reaching Wall-Street-Journal levels of inaccuracy, ran a non-item last week. Jeff Clavier, one of the SDForum speakers so unfairly accused of non-disclosure, sets me straight:
Sorry for the non-story here but
1) Steve Gillmor is not a root.net investor or advisor and
2) I have invited Mike in his TechCrunch capacity at the very last minute in replacement of Dick Costolo from FeedBurner who got grounded in Chicago by a snow storm the morning of the session. With just a few hours to find a suitable speaker, I could either get only 3 panelists, or add Mike who graciously agreed to join us. Edgeio had nothing to do with this.
Right, time to update the old disclosure table. After the jump, a full run-down of Valley bloggers, their special interests, and whether they're telling.

| The blogger | The blog | The make-out partner | The morning-after call |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jeff Clavier | Software Only | SoftTechVC | So his VC firm can't disclose everyone it works with. You just gotta trust him. (Heh. Trust a VC. I know, just try it for fun.) |
| Michael Arrington | TechCrunch | Edgeio | He name-dropped Edgeio when he mentioned it. |
| Steve Gillmor | ZDNet | Not root.net | Whomever he's in bed with, it's not root.net, despite my earlier report. |
| Dan Gillmor | Bayosphere | Fon | Smacked by the WSJ for not disclosing. Was totally disclosing. |
| Dave Winer | Scripting News | Edgeio | Whatever you have against Dave, you can't say he doesn't disclose. |
| Doc Searls | Doc Searls Weblog | Jabber, Ping, Socialtext, Spikesource, Technorati | Puts disclosures in his bio. |
| Robert Scoble | Scobleizer | Microsoft | Um, did you NOT know that he worked for Microsoft? Which of the "Here's a post about what we're doing at Microsoft" posts did not make this clear? |
