Anonymity at the WaPo

I like Brady quite a bit, I met him down at the WeMedia event in Miami. Smart guy and pretty well tuned to the requirements to win in online. Having said that, I’ll give up my right to be anonymous when the WaPo gives up it’s right to quote anonymous sources.

Social Software Inbox

“It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried.”

Whenever I complain about email I am reminded of that quote from the eminently quotable Sir Winston Churchill. Think about it for a second, what would you do without […]

GTA IV: From Franchise to Platform

There’s really so much good commentary on the game business in this one post, it’s not only worth a click but also a bookmark.

“The game business quantifies critical reviews and assigns scores. Metacritic.com, which also aggregates reviews for film, television, books, DVDs and music, is the game industry Q rating. The value of […]

Craigslist and Why Contracts Matter

So eBay sues Craigslist for what appears to be a legitimate shareholder rights issue, and Craigslist responds by saying they won’t talk about the specifics except to say this:

LinkedIn: We’re Selling Ads For $75 CPM

Yeah, I don’t doubt that LinkedIn is selling such a high CPM, but the problem for them is that I just don’t spend a lot of time in LinkedIn so the opportunity to lever up that CPM is limited. I’d bet that the average time spent when compared to other social networks is low, which […]

Are Games Bigger Than Movies?

Here’s a good account of the games vs. movies debate:

“We can also look from the standpoint of gross mischaracterization of fact. Most of the articles are qualified by the ‘box office’ limitation. Games sales are bigger than box office receipts. As my law professors used to say, ‘true but trivial.’ How many of […]

Business Physics

Microsoft’s Windows juggernaut is collapsing as it tries to support 20 years of applications and becomes more complicated by the minute. Meanwhile, Windows has outgrown hardware and customers are pondering skipping Vista to wait for Windows 7. If Windows is going to remain relevant it will need radical changes.

[From Gartner: Windows […]

The Internet is a Series of Tubes

It’s frightening to see that smart people, e.g. judges, can’t seem to figure out how the web works yet are responsible for establishing legal precedent and making laws.

Even though meta tags are regularly ignored by search engines, and not visible to average site visitors, this ruling says that other company’s trademarks in you meta tags […]

Just Moov

Very cool toys… my son loves toys that he can put together and modify, and I love the fact that he is exercising mechanical capabilities as a function of play. European toy companies have really neat stuff, too bad most of it never makes it to the U.S.

SAP’s Community Experiments

UPDATE: Jevon pointed out that the links require reg… I’ll check into that because I thought that these were all public.

SAP Global Marketing invited a bunch of people to participate in a meatspace and virtual space community event this week. There’s lots of good stuff going on, indeed, I am finding the blog postings, presentations, […]
