ESPN – Apr 9, 2008
“This year is a little depressing because my two teams, the (Vancouver) Canucks and the (Los Angeles) Kings, neither of them are in the playoffs,” he said, adding that the invitation came “when the Canucks still had a chance. “Now the Canucks aren’t in it. So what I decided is that I’m going to write a kind of mythical blog about what the Canucks and Kings would be doing had they still been in,” he said. “In my version, for the first time in NHL history, the Canucks and the Kings will be the first two Western Conference teams to actually meet in the Stanley Cup finals. Conrad described herself as “a casual hockey fan” who has followed the Kings for the past two seasons. “I’m blogging about the NHL playoffs because I love live hockey and I thought this would be a fun way to get more involved with the postseason,” the reality-TV star said in a statement. This is the second year that stars from movies, music and television have brought their hockey fan-dom to the blogosphere… “In my version, for the first time in NHL history, the Canucks and the Kings will be the first two Western Conference teams to actually meet in the Stanley Cup finals.

Blogging The Bombers – NY Daily News
New York Daily News – Apr 9, 2008
That?s because Alberto Gonzalez, the team?s starting shortstop at Triple-A, is in Kansas City and will be on the roster before tonight?s game. The guess here is that Jeter gets put on the DL, because if it was going to be Posada, the Yankees would have called up Chad Moeller to serve as the backup catcher. With the Yankees? next five games all taking place in cold weather climates, there really isn?t much of a reason to take a chance with Jeter injuring himself further. This is the right move, even if it hurts them in the short term.
Starbucks Web Site Flooded With Suggestions
FOXNews – Apr 9, 2008
Starbucks is promoting MyStarbucksIdea on its main corporate home page and with counter cards in stores that say “Have an idea for us?” on one side and the Web address on the back. But the company has long relied for promotion on word-of-mouth and an avid following of devotees and critics who regularly post their opinions on various Starbucks-related sites. Part corporate blog, MyStarbucksIdea also has the feel of an online social network. Though users can’t link up over e-mail or post profiles of themselves, the comments they post often read like friendly conversations — with people complimenting one another on their ideas or elaborating when comments about their posts make them feel misunderstood. The site is powered by Salesforce. com, the same San Francisco customer relations management firm that powers IdeaStorm… The site also will break out the most popular ideas to give others a chance to rise to the top, and users will be prompted to search whether an idea has already been posted before they add their own, a move to keep duplicates to a minimum. IdeaStorm has helped Dell win back customers’ trust, experts said. “They really are actually responsive on the blog,” said Debbie Weil, a corporate blogging consultant and author of “The Corporate Blogging Book. “More significantly,” Weil said of Dell, “they’ve trained a whole department of customer service reps to be constantly trolling blogs and jumping on and saying, ‘I hear you’re having trouble with your machine. ‘” Weil characterized Starbucks’ site as “corporate blogging 2. 0,” calling it “a very interactive, fun, interesting community.

[...] Going low seems a thing of the past at Augusta National – GolfESPN – Apr 10, 2008Not shaking-in-his-spikes nervous, not sweat-pouring nervous. But there were butterflies floating beneath those six-pack abs, and plenty of evidence on the scorecard to suggest that Thursday’s first round at the Masters was anything but a leisurely stroll for the four-time champ. Augusta National is not the birdie haven it once was for Woods, who famously cruised to a 12-shot victory 11 years ago when he set the tournament scoring record at 18 under par. Nowadays, it is an exacting test, a fine line between birdies and bogeys, and Woods walked that treacherous tightrope during an opening 72 that he felt should have been much better and left him four strokes behind leaders.Related: Masters live blog: Par 3 Contest [...]
