• Cracking down on abuse
    This message was sent to members of the Facebook Developers group this week: Over the last few weeks we have noticed several developers misleading our users into clicking on links, adding applications and taking actions. While the majority of developers are doing the right thing and playing by the rules, a few aren't - and are [...]
  • Less time with media- not a bad thing
    I read today that people are spending less time with media than in previous years. Seriously shocking news considering how our days are increasingly filled with new gadgets, new shows, new ways to watch those new shows on our new gadgets, etc. etc. Rather than seeing apocalyptic clouds looming, I will argue this is a [...]
  • Reader Comment of the Week
    You mean "stars" may have to get by on actual talent instead of looks? How horrible would that be?! On the other hand, marketers, how DOES that [...]
  • Stars in HD
    I don't have a high-definition TV and I can tell you one is highly unlikely in the near future ($$). However, I think everyone has heard something about the hysteria growing in Hollywood about what stars look like 1080i. Thanks to a friend, I have been introduced to one of the funnier commentaries on the [...]
  • Starting conversation in 2007
    What follows are the first messages my friend sent to me on Google Talk this morning, alluding to Facebook profiles and further solidifying how our world has changed: [...]
  • Google's Up to Something
    Is Google planning to release a device to compete in the growing mobile market? Probably not. But CNET is reporting that Google is planning to make a bid in the upcoming 700 MHz Wireless Spectrum auction by the Federal Communications Commission early next year. This news comes even before the ink is dry on the deal signed [...]
  • Life Events
    Will we see a stronger push to see MySpace and Facebook profiles archived for eternal reading and searching after death? It makes sense. Facebook is an unofficial living yearbook, though many pages and profiles of the deceased are taken down shortly after funerals. This doesn't make sense. When someone dies from your high school twenty [...]
  • Pumped about the YouTube debate
    Despite the fact that I often find myself following upcoming campaigns closely, I have to say I've been pretty detached from the 2008 Presidential Campaign extravaganza thus far. I watch the coverage; I have my opinions; but I've not been terribly proactive. That is, until the YouTube Debate. For two hours, my roommate and I [...]
  • Reader Comment of the Week
    Those of us who have saved our 45's and LP's, will always have a connection to our music. (and some songs we didn't like 30 years ago are now quite enjoyable). But what connection can you have with 1's & 0's? [...]
  • A cure for the itch
    I am a member of Generation Napster. I have spent well over $1500 in CD collecting to date, a habit I stopped because I got tired of spending money on songs that I really didn't want. iTunes came up with the next best solution - buy a song at a time. But [...]
