Wish Twitter would promote their special curated content a bit more. I love when they take data and make it accessible, visible and help us connect the dots.
And I thank you for it!
” If the sun goes out, we’re hosed anyway”.
You Smell Soaps shows up at Shark Tank today and the sharks are falling over themselves offering her a deal. Congrats on that deal. Surprised me quite a bit, actually.
Superbowl is Sunday, but what to eat? I’m still not decided, but I’m hungry.
Grant Wahl on Zakuani’s recovery:
Zakuani isn’t there yet. Not quite. The last stages of the recovery process could take a while, to go from part-time to full-time training, to playing reserve games, to making the 18-man roster for MLS games and finally becoming a starter again. He still needs to regain full sensation in his right foot, and that requires time.
… while you haven’t found a way to monetize your new startup yourself.
And no, taking VC funding is not monetizing.
I understand that Sarah Lacy might be pissed at AOL for screwing up Techcrunch, but after all, as John Gruber pointed out, if Mike Arrington had never sold TechCrunch to AOL in the first place, it would’ve never gotten that far, right?
In my queue to watch this weekend, Kevin Rose sits down with Kevin Systrom, founder of Instagram.
The American military will close two military bases in the German state of Bavaria by 2015 as part of a planned drawdown of forces stationed in Europe.
I’m fast and an early adopter in many areas. Music is not one of them, I’ll admit it. I JUST NOW found The Killer’s Sam’s Town record and I am in love with it.
League officials are considering holding the Super Bowl’s 50th-anniversary game in the home of that other Big Ben.
That would be London, England and that would be epic.
Tickets are anyway $5000 to see the game. The people that can afford that can easily fly across the pond.

What team to root for?
In general I am more of a Boston fan, rather than New York. Boston feels, at least in baseball more like the underdogs. But…
I think I will have to make up my mind after the first quarter.
Check that: Sebastian Vollmer, A German is playing for the Patriots – it’s settled!
We’re staging a global talent search to bring together the most remarkable lineup in TED’s history. A series of public auditions in cities around the world will reveal voices, talents and ideas that delight and surprise. As a result, at least half of our TED2013 program will literally be crowd-sourced through what we’re calling the TED2013 Worldwide Auditions.
Have something to say?
Apple’s incredible numbers last quarter were mostly explained with the word ‘innovation’. No other company has spend the money, time or made the leaps and bounds in developing new products that pushed the boundaries of innovation. At first there was the iPod. Followed by the iPhone and now we have the iPad, and each device is selling better than the last.
One number was a bit sad to look at though.
Apple’s iPod sales are dwindling. Almost forgotten, the music player is long eclipsed by the huge success of the iPhone and the iPad. Nothing wrong with that. It’s good to have your own product be cannibalized by a new product you create that sells even better.
But could it be, that the the reason the iPods are not selling well anymore is not JUST because of the stellar sales of more popular products, but also because Apple stopped innovating in the music category?
Perhaps the innovation curve has come to a conclusion for Apple. They’ve decided the innovation ultimately leads to evolution and after everyone had a music player the natural ‘upgrade’ meant to sell everyone a phone.
Okay, I get this, but what about music?
Spotify and Rdio are innovating in that area. iTunes is a dinosaur that everyone hates. And as a syncing station, music store, somewhat app store, but not for all apps, movie rental place, etc it seems completely ripe for some innovation, no?
And what about the device, the iPod? iPads are huge and iPhones are chained to an expensive contract?
Fitbit, Jawbone UP and the just announced Nike Fuelband are innovating in the area of bringing us content to a small devices that fit around our wrists and connect to the cloud for tracking statistics.
Time for Apple to get a move on and bring us a wristband/watch, with full access to the app store.
Why not take the “app-enabled’ device-idea and open up more channels on where apps could innovate a product. That’s the ultimate innovation.
And why would they be better off than Groupon?
Barnes and Noble will not be stocking books published by Amazon. Understandable, but also an indicator of the beginning of the end of publishing. Publish yourself, sell yourself, control your content, marketing and reach.
Soooooooooooo amazing.
LEGO Facebook page has a picture of the mini figures.
I love the Olympic Peninsula. But it’s always been a white spot on the map for me. A place of unknown trails, hidden gems I can never find and places that seem to far remote to discover.
Enter, Douglas Scott owner of Exotic Hikes and blogger. He takes the mystery, or rather the guess work out of the Peninsula and leaves the beautiful mystic in tact. I can’t wait for him to take me up there, to places I haven’t see and help me make my own, this beautiful piece of our world which is right in my backyard.
Not enough has been said about the Amazon.com homepage redesign, which is a bit surprising to me. It’s one of the most visited site on the web and usually mayor design changes like this one have all the bloggers talking for weeks.
A few folks commented on Twitter about the minimalistic design approach, calling it “Swiss design”, but also lacking identity, which could be the definition of Swiss design. …
A video in which I talk a lot… like a lot about Pinterest. Are you on it? Do you get it? Are you dizzy yet about all those social media platforms?
The network’s total viewership across all video programs in 2011 reached nearly 800 million, while annual revenue was up 53 percent compared to the same period last year.
Well done, well done indeed!
