"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. -

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 » -

- Apparently everyone who didn't know about the Adobe/Microsoft fight over the PDF format has their heads in the sand. Yeah, they're all probably worrying about obscure news this week, like the US killing the world's leading terrorist. [Planet PDF]
- Thanks again, SloshCon sponsors! To everyone else: If you want to give people money to drink, please sponsor the Gnomedex parties coming up in July. [Ponzarelli]
- Is the Glam.com blog network scamming its writers? (Ha, name a blog network that isn't.) A tipster says, "Apparently their $11m in funding doesn't cover paying out a few cents to their partners." [Celebitchy]
- Songwriter Billy Bragg takes his music off Myspace, saying the site's terms and conditions let Rupert Murdoch's media empire re-use all posted music without paying a cent in royalties. One wonders if News Corp would ever get away with acting on that clause, but either way, YAY FOR LEAVING MYSPACE. [Register]
