via Scobleizer -- Tech geek blogger by (author unknown) on May 06, 2008
Shared by Robert Scoble One thing is FriendFeed now says it is importing these headlines.

via VentureBeat by (author unknown) on May 06, 2008
Shared by Robert Scoble Not another aggregator to try out. Anyone who wants to beat FriendFeed at this time better have something DRAMATICALLY better. I doubt that'll happen, but am looking anyway. FriendFeed was done by two guys who were Google pioneers. I trust that service a lot more than any other.While perusing the internet recently, I stumbled upon a cool new site called Plurk. The...

Struggling with email overload
via MSDN Blogs by abhinaba on May 06, 2008
It literally rains email at Microsoft (if you've been to Seattle/Redmond you know why :) )I've always struggled to keep up with the email in Microsoft. When I joined I was stunned with the downpour. The number of email I got on the first day was more than what I got in a month in Adobe. The situation worsened when I went through team transition last month because for some time I had to...

via GPS Tracklog by gpsmapper on May 05, 2008
Consumer Reports has released the results of their latest GPS tests, and I've got the full press release after the jump. I've added links to my reviews of the units they mention and recommend. Overall, I think they did a pretty good job here, much better than in the past when they have rated units introduced years before. "Despite the influx of several new brands and models, longtime...

Yahoo, Dead Man Walking
via Venture Chronicles by Jeff on May 06, 2008
I had a meeting at Yahoo on Friday afternoon. It was like the other 1,835 meetings I’ve had there over the years, it also won’t produce anything meaningful.What struck me about the meeting was how little energy there is on that campus, it’s a dreadful place to be, even if just briefly. The other folks in the meeting just went through the motions. I saw the look in their eyes and knew what...

Shared by Robert How does Evernote work with a webcam?This is my last post at TechCrunch as a full time writer (I may yet do the occasional guest post). It’s exactly 12 months to the day since I started writing here and the date seemed like a good time to go.
