Malik is on the right holding a 'mobile device' the person on the left appears to have his startup swerve on.
Recently Om Malik decided to make his mark (or mark his territory) on the Open Source world by launching his new blog Ostatic, with typical Silly Con Valley fanfare.What do I expect from this blog? the same payola pay-per-post droning I expect from all the other pure crap Om Malik produces. If there's money and the internet involved you can be damn sure that Om Malik will claim to be an expert in it. I assume that Malik does what other blogs like TechCrunch.com do, take PR payouts from various Silicon Valley chieftans and then act as if they're excited about technology X.
I promised a friend that every time I say something negative about something I have to say something positive about something else :) . So I'd like to direct my readers to a very cool site called OhLoh. Ohloh is a social network for OSS developers that has excellent reporting and communcations facilities, it also has some nice embeddable widgets you can drop into your blog or website that gives accurate stats about OSS projects. If you're into OSS, Ohloh is worth a look.
