Microsoft researchers make me cry
via Scobleizer -- Tech geek blogger by Robert Scoble on February 13, 2008
It’s not often that I see software that really changes my world. It’s even rarer that I see software that I know will change the world my sons live in. I can count those times pretty easily.

... of, but really ask for it? So that means that if you didn't send it to them, they'd complain about not getting it? See #5. If they wouldn't complain, take them off! That means, for example, that sending bulk email to a list of bloggers just cause they have blogs is not okay. Aside: the definition of permission marketing: Anticipated, personal and relevant messages delivered to ...

via TechCrunch by Mike Butcher on January 27, 2008
It had to happen sooner or later. We’ve had Technorati. We’ve had TechMeme. Now we have Tweetmeme, which will track what’s hot on micro-blogging platform Twitter. The business of tracking the online conversation just a got shot in the arm with the tech equivalent of crack cocaine.Built by the makers Fav.or.it, a yet-to-launch blog commenting system, Tweetmeme looks for new content and...

The "Work From Home" Generation
via ReadWriteWeb by Alex Iskold on January 23, 2008
For decades in American households the most dreaded morning soundwas that of an alarm clock. Sometime between 6 and 7am a beep or radio musicsignaled that it was time to get up and head to work. But in the early 21st centurytwo things have begun to change. First, the alarm clock is going off a little bit later. And second,instead of putting on suits and driving to work, people are heading to the...

The Rise of Twitter as a Platform for Serious Discourse
via ReadWriteWeb by Josh Catone on January 29, 2008
For 2007, our Best Web LittleCo was Twitter, the microblogging/status application that captured the collective attention of Silicon Valley at SXSW last winter and has been on a meteoric rise ever since. We picked Twitter because it "has captured the imagination and become a new hybrid of chat, social networking and blogging." But, unlike 2006's Best LittleCo YouTube, which has become firmly...

Why Gen Y Is Going to Change the Web
via ReadWriteWeb by Sarah Perez on May 14, 2008
Gen Y is taking over. The generation of young adults that's compromised of the children of Boomers, Generation Jones, and even some Gen X'ers, is the biggest generation since the Baby Boomers and three times the size of Gen X. And as the Boomers fade into retirement and Gen Y takes root in the workplace, we're going to see some big changes ahead, not just at work, but on the web as a...

Revisiting the Black Sunday Hack
via Coding Horror by (author unknown) on May 30, 2008
One of the most impressive hacks I've ever read about has to be the Black Sunday kill. Since the original 2001 Slashdot article I read on this is 99.9% quote, I'm going to do the same. I can see why they quoted so extensively; it'd be difficult to improve on the unusually succinct, well written summary provided by Pat from Belch:One of the original smart cards, entitled 'H'...

A Guide to Billionaire Bloggers - And Some We'd Like to See
via ReadWriteWeb by Josh Catone on February 05, 2008
