Facebook won't take my advertising money.
I used to have a Facebook flyer, and now I have some sort of a social ad, and in both cases, I’m trying to hire a web designer, and thought it’d be interesting to post a flyer/social ad, targeting people in Boston who are college grads (a very wide group). I plan to run my ad for 30 days, as I’m running the same campaign over other various places, all for 30 days. I’ve...

Animator vs. Animation by *alanbecker →
Some of you know about the project I’m working on, but everyone loves some good entertainment.
This is one unbelievably well executed animation! I would really like to meet the artist sometime.

Amazon lights a Kindle
Amazon has announced Kindle. It’s sort of the ultimate eReader: great dispaly, good form factor, and best of all, it’s always connected. I probably can’t stress how important that is, but if we believe we are entering the new world of ubiquitous computing, this is a good sign. There is no contract or recurring service fee.

Neat!

At any rate, this is a corner-stone in my RSS lineup.

This is a great a site to help you figure out what domains are still free, and do ultra-fast WHOIS for those that aren’t. This gem was shared with me at the last Boston DevHouse, and I’ve used it near weekly since. Enjoy.

On Google's OHsA and Scarecrows
This week, Google announced the Open Handset Alliance, and I’m feeling like a bit of a broken record: I’m underwhelmed.
The popular consensus is that the savvy consumer wants wireless providers relegated to simple utility providers (and hey, toss in my cable company while we are at it). Why? Because I really don’t care who gets me the internet, as long as I have access to it,...

Google: "us too!"
Facebook deploys their application platform… incredible! Despite the various rumblings about the accessibility of their core-data, I think their app-platform has been a runaway success. Facebook has shown real thought leadership, and it has excited millions of people.
Later, MySpace trails with their “Me too!” app platform. Whether or not this helps MySpace maintain its slipping...
