Re: Future Labs Launch 16th December 2009 - http://futurelabs.tv/2009...
"Hey bro! Yeah man sounds good - got lot's of projects that we could work together on and really interested in what you have been learning - you're so on top of the game with that (I'm a bit slack at the moment!!) But hopefully get this press release done tonight and it will be on :) Thanks for the support brother and looking forward to catching up and working together (finally). James"

"Lame - all the paragraphs are screwed up!! Oh well - This is just a soft launch - Sign up to the newsletter on the right if you are interested in being invited to the Beta Future Labs Projects... :) Off to go filming, back in a few hours - hopefully we can find some free wifi to crank out some vids on the mish. Leave a comment, anything, do it! Oh and sign up to Discus.com, YouTube and Twitter if you haven't already - definitely worth it, and with what we're doing - it could make you a bit of real legit cash for your skills. Gotta run, enjoy. PS I have heaps of content on this site that's private - will drop some more tonight. Peace"

3 News > Lifestyle > Story > Call for radical new approach to smoking problem - http://www.3news.co.nz/Call-fo...
Professor Richard Edwards, of the University of Otago, said it was not good enough that, after 50 years of knowing how harmful smoking was, 5000 New Zealanders died from it. "By 20 years of age, almost a third of New Zealanders are regular smokers. "This has changed little over the last decade. That means a new generation will grow up regarding smoking as an everyday behaviour.

Is Google Making Us Stupid? - The Atlantic (July/August 2008) - http://www.theatlantic.com/doc...
I can feel it, too. Over the past few years I’ve had an uncomfortable sense that someone, or something, has been tinkering with my brain, remapping the neural circuitry, reprogramming the memory. My mind isn’t going—so far as I can tell—but it’s changing. I’m not thinking the way I used to think. I can feel it most strongly when I’m reading. Immersing myself in a book or a lengthy article used to be easy. My mind would get caught up in the narrative or the turns of the argument, and I’d spend hours strolling through long stretches of prose. That’s rarely the case anymore. Now my concentration often starts to drift after two or three pages. I get fidgety, lose the thread, begin looking for something else to do. I feel as if I’m always dragging my wayward brain back to the text. The deep reading that used to come naturally has become a struggle.

Witzelsucht - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...
Witzelsucht, from the German witzeln, meaning to joke or wisecrack, and sucht meaning addiction or yearning (sucht means searching), is a set of rare neurological symptoms characterized by the patient's uncontrollable tendency to pun, tell inappropriate jokes and pointless or irrelevant stories at inconvenient moments. The patient nevertheless finds these utterances intensely amusing. It is associated with small lesions of the orbitofrontal cortex.

10 Must-Haves for Your Social Media Policy - http://mashable.com/2009...
There are generally two approaches to social media policy making. Some organizations handle social media in an evolutionary way. Chad Houghton, the director of e-media and business development at the Society for Human Resource Management, told me that he thinks, “it might be beneficial not to create some arbitrary rules without first seeing where the opportunities and risks really are.”

Robert. You're a friend, but you've a habit of breaking news --sometimes when folks aren't ready. It's not personal, but I just know your traits. I'm going to brief you in detail on Wed. We can do a video if you'd like --I'll come to you. Hugs?
- Jeremiah Owyang
awww... ;-)

Robert - hug Jeremiah, do the video - but insist he brings that little dog with him. IT is cute :)

Will Robert put away his (fake) wounded pride and interview Jeremiah on Wednesday? Oh yes, he will - and now we have a deadline. Good work Robert!

OK, can we flashmob to celebrate Jeremiah's new gig right after the interview?
- Elliott Ng
Jeremiah: here is the deal. I am not under embargo but already know the news. So I think I will call Arrington because you didn't embargo me. Oh, and I +do+ keep embargoes. I am even keeping a secret about two things you will learn in the morning.

I still struggle with my 7 year old son to not steal his siblings' thunder in matters important to them. It's not easy for him.

I know those two things, Robert.
- Louis Gray
I know a lot of things, not even just two, but maybe not the two you are thinking of
- Jesse Stay
Kami, I saw Robert yesterday, and I asked him if I'd hurt his feelings, he said "yes". Robert and I go back, there was a time (ustream launch) where we well, didn't coordinate on news. He's truly a friend, and someone I respect as a media trailblazer --but I need to get everything coordinated. To be clear, he was on the list of folks I'd brief in detail --others just got cursory info.
- Jeremiah Owyang
Here's a long discussion on where Jeremiah Owyang will be going next. Interesting discussion developing on embargoes and 'bloggers'
- Drew B
Lets figure out where he is going. Who is in most need of Jeremiahs incredible intelligence on social media?
- Nisse
Drew, is it interesting that Robert is threatening me that I didn't tell him? Should bloggers assert themselves to get news? (it's a bit fun watching him get antsy)
- Jeremiah Owyang
Is he going to disneyland?
- Cliff Gerrish
Jeremiah: my feelings were hurt because you told pretty much everyone else in the industry other than me. Here's a hint: they can't keep their mouths shut either. But I will. You will know tomorrow that I actually do know the news. But the other deal is that you're wrong. I've kept hundreds of embargoes over the past year and haven't leaked them to anyone. If you weren't a friend and...

- Robert Scoble
So they want the publicity you can bring but want to control the timing and message. I would be inclined to not agree as well. Sounds like you are being used.
- Brian Sullivan
I hear news all the time about people who aren't necessarily friends but would generally want the news quiet - does this mean I should start leaking those details? I'm not sure the right answer to that. The problem though is often the way I hear about that information is through other friends who were trusted to keep the info private. Is it worth betraying the trust of those friends as well?
- Jesse Stay
The problem comes maybe when you are "friends" with everybody but also are trying to be a legitimate reporter at the same time. We criticize television and newspaper reporters for this all the time but tech reportage seems to get a pass.
- Brian Sullivan
Jesse, yeah your situations seem tough because if you leak, you're a jackass because someone else can't keep their mouth shut.
- Chris Heath
Brian: everyone uses me, I'm used to it, it's part of the role I play in life. :-)
- Robert Scoble
Robert, I was planning on telling you before the announcement --and the offer still stands. I'm sorry I hurt your feelings, that wasn't my intent.
- Jeremiah Owyang
What's the point here??
- Andru Edwards
nothing really andru, I say we just move along and let Robert and I handle this offline. Clearly, we need to work this out.
- Jeremiah Owyang
Talking to Scoble now, I apologized. I take back what I said above, he's not broken any embargos in a while and I take that charge back. I also briefed him, as a friend, and more. Sorry Robert, I crossed the line.
- Jeremiah Owyang
I'm going to guess Jeremiah will join Dave Armano and Peter Kim and work for Dachis.
- Ari Herzog
Ari - that's my guess too.
