I finally created a Facebook account. Someone mentioned FaceBook being the new MySpace just one e-mail before Aaron (who has been working at Facebook for a couple years now) sent me an invite.
I took that as a sign from God.
Mitch: [As the voice of Jesus] …And from now on, stop playing with yourself.
Kent: It is God…

Here’s Brian Solis’s blog I ran across because of the latest Lunch 2.0 event (oDesk): PR 2.0. Since I’m not a PR/Marketing type I don’t understand it, but other readers might find it useful in finding there is more to Web 2.0 marketing than “viral marketing.”
Actually, I’m hurt that in PR 2.0’s latest article, Jeremiah credited Joseph with co-founding Lunch 2.0 instead of me. He deserves to be boinked for that one, especially because I distinctly remember explaining to him how four of us founded Lunch 2.0 before I blacked out at the del.icio.us party.
For you photography buffs, this FotoPRIX commercial is simply amazing.Continue reading
Is a buyout an admission that Google Video got their asses kicked in?

If any of you can watch any of these videos to the end, tell me about it.
I’d file this under humor but, I have no idea if any these are funny. I watched the first 12 seconds of the first few and felt that was a pretty good exercise in willpower.
Let’s just say YouTube is the modern day Gong Show.
Indeed.com’s Salary Search just got dugg because Walt Mossberg mentioned it.
I didn’t learn anything that I didn’t know back in April. But that’s because this feature has been available through SimplyHired for a while now (and I suspect SimplyHired’s may be a bit more accurate).Continue reading
“A civility that considers torture a negotiable virtue is a civility long past redemption.
I will take my values real but rough, and leave ‘values’ of a David Broder or David Brooks where they lie — abandoned in the name of centrist balance, hollowed from disuse, weakened so as not to offend or provoke.
I would rather face God with this voice than the other.”
—Hunter, commenter on “Why I’m mad: An open letter to David Broder from a fellow journalist” defending “vituperative, foul-mouthed bloggers on the left”
The linked article, from Will Bunch, a senior writer for the Philadelphia Daily News, is also a great read.Continue reading
