Ok, Wired, Let’s Do This.
via TechCrunch by Michael Arrington on May 14, 2008
A week ago Wired Magazine voiced its displeasure over our syndication partnership with the Washington Post. Wired’s Betsy Schiffman wrote “We’ve got nothing against TechCrunch, but it seems crazy-crazy to us that the Washington Post, a paper known for the sort of reporting that can take down U.S. presidents, is publishing content written by a dude who invests in the companies he writes...

Back in the Consulting Game
via Flex and Flash Developer - Jesse Warden dot Kizz-ohm by admin on May 14, 2008
I put in my 2 weeks notice 3 weeks ago at Multicast Media Technologies, a Live and On Demand Online Video company here in Atlanta. I was originally hired as a Flex Consultant back in March of 2007. I had taken a 3 month sabbatical to find a product company that jived with my goals, but mostly to play XBox for 2 1/2 months. After that, my wife and I jetted to Sydney, Australia so we could...

Slingpage Lets You Share the Web With One Click (500 Private Beta Invites)
via TechCrunch by Erick Schonfeld on May 14, 2008
The idea of leaving sticky notes on the Web for others to find has been tried many times, but has never really taken off. Third Voice dotbombed with the idea in the late 1990s, then Activeweave tried it with Stickis (only to abandon the idea in favor for an app called BlogRovr, which was recently acquired by BuzzLogic). The missing element was that there was never a social way to share the Web...

Smugmug Rocks - Here's Why
via RIApedia by mikepotter on May 14, 2008
As I've mentioned before, I'm getting into digital photography more and more, and recently I've been looking for a place to host my digital photos. Basically, I've got two sets of photos - personal photos of vacations and family (mostly taken using my Canon Digital Elph), and artistic photos that I take with my digital SLR (Canon Rebel XTi). The photos from my Elph are in...

Prying Open the Social Graph
via GigaOM by Stacey Higginbotham on May 13, 2008
Technology buzzwords come and go…virtualization, green, SaaS…and after sitting through the Google Friend Connect announcement, reading about Facebook’s Connect service and writing about last week’s MySpace Data Availability launch, “open” appears to be just the latest. But open is one of those words whose definition can be spun into a variety of meanings.While Facebook isn’t yet...

I think a lot of people forget that iPhone is not just a pretty face and sleek curves. Instead it is a device that is changing behavior and expectations we have of mobile devices. While most observations about iPhone have been personal...

The "Official" Verdict on Powerset (or what would I do if i was the CEO).
via The Jason Calacanis Weblog by Jason Calacanis on May 13, 2008
Powerset has received a ton of attention--some say hype--about their "Google-killing" intelligence based search. Google-killing is in quotes there for a reason people: no one is killing Google any time soon, and in fact the best search and navigation companies--i believe--will learn to play in Google's pond. (note the "official" in the title is also a joke, but I'm sure some folks will...
