America’s Next Muppet

Coming in Summer of 2006, America’s Next Muppet is the new reality TV show to be aired on ABC. The Jim Henson muppets will be collaborating with Disney in order to make the show interactive, where the audience can actually vote for America’s Next Muppet.

Kermit and the other classic Muppet characters are setting up a talent contest to find the newest member of the legendary Muppet troupe. All kinds of new wacky Muppet characters and wild new Muppet acts will audition for the panel of judges (such as Kermit, Miss Piggy and Gonzo) who will be the reviewing the performances.

I have a feeling the Simon Cowell of the group will be played by the geriatric duo of Statler and Waldorf (the 2 old men who sit on the balcony).

The Blog Herald is IT!

Remember my post a few days ago about the mystery blog being sold for at least $40,000? Well it turns out (much to my surprise) that this mystery blog is …

The Blog Herald written by Duncan Riley.

The current high bids are 60K, 65K and 72K. The private auction will be ending today sometime, after which we’ll get down to the business of sorting out the transaction. Once that’s all done, we’ll be announcing the winner at whatever time works best for the winner.

The current high bidders are all looking at the blog as a brand / profile investment more than a pure cash investment. After all, 36 times monthly revenues is a fairly high multiple for any site, even if it experiences 10% growth every month (as Blog Herald does) and could earn more. At 72K, it would likely take someone about a year to earn it back with a redesign and with the growth it’s experiencing.

On a more personal note, it was through Duncan that I found out about Jeremy and b5. And on an even more personal note, I should be really nice to Duncan because he’s the guy who sends the cheques over.

But seriously, nice one Duncan! This is a huge step for him when he decided to go full time pro.

Urge dot com

The Microsoft powered Urge, supposedly the competition to the iTunes Music Store.

But why does the G look like the inverted Q of Apple Quicktime?

Doh.
