title being reviewed by legal

  • microsoft going social (too)?  launching vine.. i'm open to seeing what it does.
  • want to know something that, supposedly, beats paid search?  retargeting.  so claims fetchback.  now, it's their product, so i expect them to say that, but we know retargeting is powerful stuff
  • a google map of swine flu.. cover your mouth
  • in a brutal case of overusing jargon, adify now lets you make horizontal buys across vertical networks.. somehow they forgot to include synergies in there.  too bad.  i won't even read the article, i'm just turned off by the blatant buzzwords
  • detroit.  oh, what to do in detroit?  who to blame?  any reason to blame?  so GM is shutting pontiac and focusing on 4 main brands.  i'll keep this short, the UAW gets lots of blame for being greedy and thinking they are entitled to high paying jobs, lucrative benefits, cushy pensions, and sticking it to "management" at every opportunity, now they own this POS company.  management gets a kick in the fanny for being arrogant that people will buy whatever crap they make, missing the times, focusing on short term profits and designs, and making some frickin' shitty cars.  i owned an olds in 1985 (from my dad) for a few months and it was ok, but that was the last american car i owned.  when i rent cars and get an american can, i curse it every time i sit in it - they're just that bad.  since my olds, i've owned a VW, an Acura, an Infiniti, a Subaru, and my current Acura - all way better.
  • not everyone wants yahoo to sell their search business.  i don't.  frankly, i think it will make them less competitive!  being display only is missing part of the offering to advertisers and working across Y! and M$ will just be messy, trust me, it will.
  • did i miss the google.com home page logo?  with chrome, i rarely see the home page anymore, i just use the omnibox..
  • get psyched! time to buy some ms advertising!  with a bitchin' soundtrack!

  • ok, time to jet.
