Carl Icahn: Just About Ready To Start Blogging

Peter Kafka | June 18, 2008 6:22 PM

carl the comedian.jpgCarl Icahn, the onetime greenmailer now dutifully referred to as a "legendary activist investor", will start blogging tomorrow, he tells Reuters (Thursday afternoon, he tells USA Today).

We've heard this before: In February, Carl said he was going to use his Wordpress-powered blog (don't expect to see anything right now -- the site is "parked") to "finally focus on more than making money". He was going to do this, he said, by casting a spotlight on badly managed public companies.

Since then, of course, Carl has spent more time focused on making money. But now that his Yahoo (YHOO) deal looks it's gone south, he may have more time on his hands.

But we're still going to offer Carl the same advice we did before: Be careful! Blogging is a lot more tiring than it looks.

"Carl Icahn: Just About Ready To TELL ONE OF HIS MANY ASSISTANTS TO Start Blogging"

Fixed that for you, Peter
My prediction: Carl dictates, somebody types fast. Lawyers spend *hours* going over each post.

What happened to the actual CMS he set up and the "coming soon" blurb? It was like a plain design with a brown background, white text and his picture on it. Is this the same domain linked to by SAI in earlier posts or another one?
same domain. we're assuming the "parked" sign goes away and the real blog comes up. but as of 6:24 am, no dice.

That sounds right, Peter. I wonder if the lawyers are reviewing the "How I lost the BioGen Proxy Battle" first post right now. Would make good reading ahead of the Yahoo shareholder meeting.
And, he's up. Based on word count, he's been helping some of his legal staff with their kids' college funds. http://www.alleyinsider.com/2008/6/carl_icahn_angry_blogger_
