Now that Elisabeth Hasselbeck’s new baby Taylor Thomas Hasselbeck is here (congrats Elisabeth!) will she keep blogging? She kept fans up-to-date with a few posts before her baby was born on her blog called Elisabeth’s Baby Blog. The blog lives on Dreft.com, which is a Procter & Gamble website. Here’s an excerpt from her most recent post. Still no sign of baby #2 yet! I am having some contractions at night that make me think it may happen soon! I have been having a hard time getting out of bed? especially because I get up at least 4 times, either for the bathroom, or for Grace? One would assume that any baby blogging deal she cut with Procter & Gamble would have her continue blogging once the baby arrived. According to E Online she will be back. E Online also wonders if she is blogging out of a desire to compete with Rosie O’Donnell. Perhaps driven to compete with former View cohost Rosie O’Donnell (long famed for her haiku-riffic stream-of-consciousness bloggery), Elisabeth promises “12 personal stories recounting her experiences and emotions both before and after the birth of her second child, due later this month, along with photos of the new baby.” If the blog was on Elisabeth’s personal website or on a blogging service like Blogger than maybe we could buy E Online’s suggestion that she is trying to compete with Rosie but since the blog is on the Dreft detergent website it is much more likely that it was a financial deal. We would love to know how much The View co-star was paid for baby blogging but that information is not readily available. Posted in Baby Blogs Permalink | Recent Headlines | WWFeeds.com

NaNoWriMo Inspired NaBloPoMo
You have probably heard of National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) but you may not be aware that it inspired the creation of a blogging couterpart called NaBloPoMo. Bloggers participating in NaBloPoMo have to blog daily during the month of November including weekends. “What the heck is going on here?” you ask. Well, it’s pretty simple. You get yourself a blog, if you don’t have one already — and don’t mind me if I’m stupefied at the idea that there’s someone left in the English speaking world without their own blog. Then you look at the calendar, and when the whole world goes, “Oh, I can’t believe they’re already playing Christmas music in the warden’s office!” you’ll know it’s November and that is the month in which you post something to your blog every day, in accordance with the National Blog Posting Month challenge! Last year everybody just went for it, posting thirty days in a row and maybe hoping to win a prize in the random drawing. This year, for those of you who suspect you might run out of gas, maybe you’d like to try blogging on a theme. Follow a news story for the month; get deeper into an issue that you want to educate yourself about; keep us abreast of how your yoga practice / daily muffin-eating regime / matchstick Eiffel Tower is progressing. Or simply use NaBloPoMo as a writing exercise, as an easier-to-accomplish alternative to the marathon that inspired it: National Novel Writing Month. NaBloPoMo has a lengthy blogroll of participating bloggers. There are many bloggers out there trying to increase their posts this month. NaBloPoMo also has randomizer that will send you to one of the participating blogs. If you are looking for blogging motivation NaBlogPoMo looks like a good way to keep you going – at least for a month. There are also lots of prizes. If you aren’t participating this year there is always NaBlogPoMo 2008 when the monthly blogging event will likely be even bigger. Now that we have a month for blogging and for writing novels someone will have to set one up for Twittering – National Twittering Month or NaTwiMo anyone? Permalink | Recent Headlines | WWFeeds.com

NBC Acquires Internet Show Quarterfile
The New York Times reports that NBC has gone ahead and purchased the Internet show Quarterlife. Numerous tv shows have schedule changes or are running out of episodes – you can see a chart here — because of the ongoing writers’ strike. The rapidly diminishing number of quality shows has the networks looking for other options such as game shows and reality tv. NBC managed to find in Quarterlife an online show that had enough quality to be broadcast on television. The Times says NBC buying Quarterlife to air on the network is a “first-of-its-kind deal” for a web-based show. “Quarterlife” deals with a group of creative 25-year-olds and how their personal lives are described in the blog of the lead character, a would-be writer named Dylan Krieger. Though they would not disclose the exact terms of the deal, Silverman and Herskovitz said NBC had agreed to become a partner in the “Quarterlife” concept, by paying a license fee that Herskovitz said was much less than what is paid for conventional shows. NBC will be able to replay the episodes on its Web sites after the broadcasts and will sell the negatives of the episodes internationally. But for as long as the series runs, the episodes will first appear on the “Quarterlife” Web site. The idea originated more than a year ago when Herskovitz and his longtime partner, Ed Zwick, decided they had to find a way to create entertainment that would be free of corporate ownership–and creative interference. Some of the tech blogs have been buzzing that the writers’ strike will benefit web publishers somehow either as a boon to original web video content or by sending advertisers toward the Internet. Advertisers are already pretty keen on trying out the Internet so the writers’ strike isn’t really going to motivate them anymore than they already are. As far as web fiction goes Quarterlife is really the exception to the rule. Most web fiction is either too short or the production values are not good enough for it to make the jump to television. There probably isn’t enough time to get an original high quality web series off the ground quickly enough before the writers’ strike is over — especially with the top 12,000 script writers on strike. The web might compete a little better in the humor category than in fiction but even then you are still lacking the top comedy writers and the tv studios. You can keep up with latest news on the writers’ strike here on Twitter. The first episode of Quarterlife can be seen below. Other episodes can be found on the show’s website. Quarterlife can also be seen on MySpaceTV where it should not be confused with an online reality series called Roommates. Posted in Video Permalink | Recent Headlines | Twitter | WWFeeds.com
