get psyched and get learning!
- david's departure made marketwatch and a slew of other publications on-line.. nice
- if a brand gets 3,000 fans on facebook.. (as my kids tell me, pink says) "so what." i'm sure it's not a bad thing, but is it a good thing? how much of a good thing? are there risks? are there ways to measure not just that someone clicked a "i'm a fan" button, but is more engaged than that? maybe we can tell if people recruit their friends? i have too many ideas here..
- the japanese, oh they love their cell phones! check out this
- flickr is one of the good things at yahoo.. but they hit it hard with layoffs.. monetization not good enough? i don't get it
- facebook trying to raise money, but at nowhere near the valuation microsoft paid (which was a sky-high $15B) -- it's waaaay less now. did i mention it was waaaay less now?
- google making nice, in a PR sort of way
- and google got a patent for datacenters at sea..? umm, will they use undersea cables? the good news is that people way smarter than me are worrying about the benefits of this
- did anyone miss the google flu trends? oh crap, i'm doing it again, all google news for todays postings. shit, i need to dig a little harder and now it's obvious where my interests lie
- i FINALLY got my new SIM card yesterday for my blackberry, after a miserable 2 days. not just because my blackberry was off-line, which hurt, lots, but because a faulty SIM card should be quick and easy to replace and it was anything but! a guy from MTV called the local store and got them to give me one, after one store i visited refused. anyway, i don't want to go into detail, it just aggravates me further :-)
- great chrome video - looks like an iTunes spot
