Phreadz - A Little Like Seesmic, But Trying To Do More
via TechCrunch by Mike Butcher on May 23, 2008
On first look, Phreadz does appear to be aping Seesmic. Threaded video conversations and an invite-only Alpha are just two of the similarities. But you won’t find any of Seesmic’s code in this new UK-based “social multimedia conversation network,” reports TechCrunch UK.Firstly, it is going further than Seesmic by pushing the envelope on the concept by interweaving video, images, text,...

It’s Time For FriendFeed To Kill Twitter
via The Inquisitr by (author unknown) on May 23, 2008
Shared by Robert Scoble I don't think FriendFeed can kill Twitter either. I think they both need each other.

The organization has had some success in the past against Edonkey and BitTorrent web sites, so there is at least a possibility that Mininova will be forced to either take down most of its torrent files or shut down completely. Either way,...

via MSDN Blogs by stevecla01 on May 23, 2008
That’s what BusinessWeek says according to Dell employee Ggroovin who says on his Twitter page he "works at Dell, created @DellOutlet & help w/ Dell's Twitter strategy”. Groovin indeed!Half a mil…nice. I bet Twitter wishes it was getting a slice of that pie.

via I, Cringely . The Pulpit | PBS by (author unknown) on May 22, 2008
Last week's column on Gartner Inc. and the thin underbelly of IT was a hit, it seems, with very few readers rising to the defense of Gartner or the IT power structure in general. To be fair I probably should have said that Gartner isn't totally worthless, but I think their specialists should be more specialized and they shouldn't promote technologies or products without being darned...
