MG Siegler is the voice behind the blog ParisLemon, his take on tech and new media. Since focusing the site on tech, his opinions have garnered a lot of attention both within the blogosphere and traditional media. Big companies like Apple, Google, Microsoft and Yahoo are a large area of attention on ParisLemon, but general trends within the blogosphere itself are prevalent as well. MG also coined the term “Bitchmeme”, a phrase used to describe a often less-than-newsworthy story that gains popularity on the tech news aggregator Techmeme which bloggers then argue about.
MG also writes on startups and tech news for VentureBeat and runs Review In Haiku, TecHaiku, and ParisLime. In the past he has written for Pronet Advertising and done some work as a mentor for search start-up Mahalo. His professional background experience is in both the creative side of Hollywood and as a web developer.

I am a blogger from Ontario Canada who bills himself as just a cranky old fart wandering the internet causing mayhem as he goes. I have been writing about the tech blogosphere for going over a year but before that my primary focus was that of a software developer which I think gives me an additional insight into technology that comes in handy as a blogger.
I like to look at technology from the persepective of the average person rather than the typical technologist or early adopter and as such I find myself trying to splash a little realism on the over entusasim that seems to premeate the tech blogosphere - especially in the realm of social media.
