Matthew Weiner, the producer of the television show Mad Men (and previously producer and writer for The Sopranos), acknowledged that he based his protagonist Don Draper in part on Draper Daniels, whom he called "one of the great copy guys." A great read if you're into marketing/advertising, live in Chicago or just love the show "Mad Men."

I have to concur with "Moan Cone." I'm following fewer people on FF so I feel like I'm stepping into a mostly empty pantry. I have my favorite cereals but no chips or hearty Chef Boy Ardee meals.

Twitter down. 3 million tweeple working again. Economic indicators jump.

It's funny. I'm in FF now because of the "Moan Cone" and all i can think of is "look at all the potential people I can follow on Twitter". I need the "Betty Ford" equal to Twitter addiction.

No need for interventions, David! Better to follow people here and you get their tweets plus all their other lovely activity, too. YouTube, blogs, flickr, memes, songs, podcasts.....so much content.....

Yea I mentioned that too -- Who does DB maint during peak hours? I doubt this was planned.

How do you tweet that Twitter is down when Twitter is really down? :-)
- Zoli Erdos
I seriously doubt this was a "planned" maintenance as they would have posted a message well in advance... this is an UNplanned event, like most twitter outages.
