Welcome to the AllThingsD Redesign!

No, you’re not on the wrong site. And, yes, this is All Things D. A whole new redesign of All Things D, that is. Here’s a guide to make the transition easier.

Godspeed on That Investing Thing, Yertle–But I Still Have Some Questions for Your Boss, Arianna

Would it surprise you to know that BoomTown doesn’t really care anymore if TechCrunch editor Michael Arrington sidelines as a blogger while he makes investments in tech companies his tech news site covers? Especially after reading his post yesterday that made a good argument about who he is and, frankly, who he has always been. But that does not mean his boss, AOL content head Arianna Huffington, doesn’t have some ‘splainin’ to do.

Headless Lawsuit in Topless Blog!

On some level of journalism, I guess anything could happen. But does that mean it should? Some sensational stories in tech of late have led to some even more sensational reporting.

Video: The Pulse Boys-to-Men Talk About Huge Growth of Visual News-Reading App

Today, BoomTown braved the floods and skippered All Things Digital‘s S.S. Minnow through a Noah-like rainstorm in Silicon Valley to visit offices of Pulse. Less than a year ago, the nifty visual news-reading app was publicly praised by Apple’s Steve Jobs for innovativeness and slapped by the New York Times for misusing its RSS feed on the same day. Dramatic, for sure, but they have made nice with the Times since then and have also raised more than $1 million in funding and grown to three million users since then.

Video: BoomTown Versus Texas Hipsters and Cheddar Cheese Cats at SXSW

As it turned out, BoomTown did not succumb to hipster poisoning on my sojourn this past weekend to Austin, Texas and the famous South by Southwest festival.

Viral Video: "Attack the Block" and BoomTown Debut at SXSW

Like many a geek–and after a decade away–I’m headed to South by Southwest later this week. To get in the mood for the well-known multimedia festival in Austin, here’s one of the films making its debut this coming weekend. It’s called “Attack the Block,” and has the best tag line ever: “Inner City Versus Outer Space.” Which is just about how I am feeling about SXSW!

Viral Article: ATD Makes Ad Age's Digital A-List

Today, All Things Digital made it onto Ad Age’s Digital A-List, which also includes Groupon, Buddy Media and Virgin America. BoomTown loves Virgin America’s digital stuff (plus the hip food). Actually, Ad Age’s Nat Ives was very nice to us too.

Myspace Is Certainly for Sale, but Not by Press Release

Everyone knows Myspace is for sale and that its owner, News Corp. very much wants to unload the troubled social networking site. That said, it’s not negotiating a deal via press releases either.
