License, Insurance, Registration & Google ID: Cop Tickets Google StreetView Car
via Search Engine Land: News About Search Engines & Search Marketing by Barry Schwartz on June 17, 2008
Valleywag reported that the driver of a Google StreetView car was captured on Flickr being ticketed by a police officer. The picture was taken in San Francisco by Damian Spain. I just can't stop laughing about the "privacy" violation here. StreetView has come under fire for capturing images that some feel invade privacy. Heck, there's even an image on Google StreetView of someone getting...

Being Human-Like Attracts Me
via Geekwhat.com by Tony Chung on June 17, 2008
Funny title yes? Hear me out!There is a CD store here in Taipei that I visit at least once a month. Only this CD store, not the other CD retail chains. Why only this store? Simple answer: It’s human.What do you mean ‘human’?? Well, your average CD store basically consists of newest releases in the front and everything else in the middle and back of the store. Music is grouped by...

via Neoformix by (author unknown) on June 16, 2008

If you missed my post from last week on Twitter Topic Streams a quick explanation is that they illustrate the most interesting capitolized words used in the tweets for these people.

... changed its name to eliminate confusion with other products on the market, and has been in private testing for several months. I first started talking with Edwin Khodabakchian back in mid-February, and even then, the project had been under scrutiny from more than 100 early testers for the better part of three months.

A Personal Note: Pause & Read
via GigaOM by Om Malik on June 17, 2008
The passing of Tim Russert, a man I greatly admired, came as the result of a massive heart attack, an event that cannot be predicted. Having suffered a heart attack myself earlier this year, I know this firsthand — the heart is no match for the high-stress, multitasking lives that so many of us lead.And before we know it, our poor habits catch up with us. It’s why I urge you to get yourself...
