Betsy Devine and JP Rangaswami have both posted reviews of Everything Is Miscellaneous (both quite favorable), but I’m getting embarrassed about posting each time someone reviews the book. On the other hand, I like acknowledging the work and thought that goes into them (yes, even the negative ones). So, I’ve added a list of reviews in the right-hand column (below the podcast blurb), and will probably batch up reviews more.

I’ll continue listing them separately at EverythingIsMiscellaneous.com, where I also have a page that lists them with a little commentary.

Does this seem like a sensible approach? Or, for the sake of marketing, should I crow about each review separately?

Loic Le Meur has posted his thoughts about his involvement as an Internet advisor to the Sarkozy campaign. Very interesting.

Now, Loic writes, “I am back to business focusing on my next startup.” Too bad Sarkozy hasn’t snapped him up to advise him on Internet policy, because from what I saw of the new French president at Loic’s Le Web 3, we need someone to protect the Web from Sarkozy’s comfort with “Internet regulation.” The good news is that Sarkozy, like most politicians, seems genuinely not to understand the Net — his Le Web presentation said many good-sounding things, some of which contradicted others — which is an opportunity for someone like Loic to explain it to him…

Susan Crawford — Cardozo law prof, ICANN member and founder of OneWebDay (Disclosure: I’m on its board) — has blogged a review of Everything Is Miscellaneous. It’s, well, lovely.
