We Create the Rules…
November 25, 2007 | 7 Comments
It’s been a quiet Thanksgiving weekend in the blogosphere, but today’s discussion about setting our personal data free from the Facebooks and Netflixs of this world has stirred at least some interest. I hope it stick around until tomorrow, because I think it is a worthy cause that needs to get more traction.

Just looked at AOL’s top products of 2007. One of them is the Boeing Dreamliner (why it is not the A380, I don’t know). Nice plane. Hope to sit in it one day, but here is the photo they put next to the blurb.
This, my friends, is the Boeing 747 Large Cargo Freighter - also […]

Digg just added an Election Coverage section called Digg the Candidates.
Great idea and nice execution, just a shame that you can’t really digg the candidates but just befriend them.
I wonder how/if they got all the candidates (and/or their staffers) to sign up for this.
Also, as one might expect, the campaigns only digg their own […]

You know it’s a slow news day when Facebook dropping ‘is’ from it’s status updates is a major story on Techmeme…
But I just received a Hulu invite and so I will just embed a clip of people getting punched just before eating here simply for the sake of it…

Helping Matthew to Push the Meme
November 19, 2007 | 2 Comments
As part of the Techmeme discussion today (we are having a lot of those lately, don’t we?), Mathew Ingram just tagged me as one of the
new bloggers that are adding new points of view, like Ashkan at WatchMojo and Allen Stern at Centernetworks and ParisLemon and The Last Podcast.
Thanks Mathew
And just to toot […]

Gaming Techmeme Isn’t News

Fred the VC argues that the Techmeme Leaderboard is the reason that very few individuals are in the TM Top 100 these days:
I think it’s pretty simple. Everyone knows that you can write to techmeme if you want to be part of the conversation. Can’t think of what to write about? Go to techmeme, grab […]

I was getting a little bit excited about Amazon’s Kindle, but somehow, it isn’t really that interesting of a product (see BB Gadgets for a run-down of its functionality).
It’t too expensive. For $400 I can already get a real notebook on sale or one of those Asus mini-notebooks.
It’s too exclusively focused on book […]

Even the Wall Street Journal can’t help but to write a fluffy, speculative piece about Google and the possibility that the company might bid for a piece of the cellphone spectrum. Looks like everybody is jumping on the bandwagon, but let’s take a close look at this piece.
The WSJ takes the fact that Google operates […]

Best of Travel Blogs

I am just planning a number of trips in the next few months (couple of Coast to Coasttrips and one to Europe and South America respectively) and given how much of an airline geek I am, I thought I would share some of the tools I use and blogs I read with my readers. I […]

Chad Lorenz bemoans the death of email at the hands of IM, Twitter and Facebook today. In his post, which, I think I read last year already in some form (and which cites data from 2005, after all), Chad argues that those younger than 25 basically have abandoned email, while everybody over 25 is still […]

Free WSJ articles through Digg - but why?
November 13, 2007 | 1 Comment
Hat off to Kevin Rose for getting this deal done:
The Wall Street Journal Online is adding Digg buttons across the entire site, and you’ll now have full (free) access to the articles submitted to Digg. The Digg buttons have started appearing on WSJ.com articles tonight.
I guess this is one small move in modernizing the Wall […]

Reading the NYTimes this morning, I came across an op-ed piece by the FCC chairman, Kevin J. Martin. The article mainly argues for the relaxation of some ownership laws. Should a newspaper company be allowed to own a TV station in the same market?
It seems like a strange question to me to begin with. Our […]

Microsoft’s Zune start to look like it might actually have a chance in the marketplace. Today Microsoft unveiled that it has partnered with a number of artists to create custom designs for the Zune that can be further customized online:
“We’re bringing the entire category to the next level by empowering consumers to play a role […]
