"Solid advice, Patrick — not just for book reviewers, but even for John Doe reviewing ACME Product X on Amazon, for example. An Amazon product caked full of reviews from people who have never touched the product does nobody any favors and hurts that product, even if people vote the comment down as unhelpful. More need to heed your advice." - Jared Smith

Increasingly, I’m sharing things that fit my definition of “interesting” over on my Posterous blog. If you haven’t tried it yet, Posterous is a neat way to share cool things quickly (as easily as sending an e-mail!). Some folks use it for their full blog, too. It lets you autopost to as [...] - Jared Smith

I’m falling for Chrome - http://jaredwsmith.com/2009...
I’ve resisted Google Chrome over the last year, primarily because it hasn’t been extensible. Well, that’s all changed. I’m running the development version of Chrome, Chromium, on my Mac, and starting to add extensions to it. (You can’t add extensions to the “official” Mac beta.) The speed is incredible, and makes [...] - Jared Smith

Slides from my AdFed U SEO presentation - http://jaredwsmith.com/2009...

A doozy of a weather day ahead - http://jaredwsmith.com/2009...
In advance of a doozy of a weather day, I’ve spent a portion of my evening revamping the Charleston Weather blog. I’ve installed the latest P2, Automattic’s excellent real-time WordPress theme, and I’ve also (with any luck) enabled PubSubHubbub for posts to the blog. Weather information is exactly what the real-time web is [...] - Jared Smith

Heh, it's nice seeing the #patriots giving up. Wonder how they would feel about the #saints running up the score on them some more.
Saints played incredibly tonight. So happy for them and so happy for the city of New Orleans. - Jared Smith

@flc Remember, SD got Rivers to replace Brees. Then, suddenly, he got it together. Tough to say what would have happened.
As a SD native and a Charger fan, I agree. What might have happened if Brees had stayed? - Derrick
Crazy thing to think about, isn't it Derrick? I do know that A.J. Smith always seemed to have it out for him, and the shoulder surgery was his out to bring Rivers in. I suspect Brees was never comfortable in San Diego, and I just don't think he could have taken on the leadership role in SD as he's done so marvelously in NO. No disrespect to Brees -- he could have easily led SD, but the front office issues would have made that a really tough situation for him, IMO. - Jared Smith
While A.J.'s results have been fairly positive in SD (never thought hiring Norv Turner would have turned out the way it has), he's the kind of guy who must have HIS guy. Brees was Marty's guy. - Jared Smith

Saw "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs" this weekend, and I can't get over the shots the movie took at The Weather Channel.
That seems like a deal breaker for you. - Dave Slusher
Nah, not really. Don't have much love for TWC in recent years, especially after the NBC acquisition stole what was left of TWC's soul. (The shots they took were really spot-on -- primarily surrounding TWC's treatment of some female anchors over the years.) - Jared Smith

Going to have to shake my Star Trek addiction before I get married. I wouldn't make it to the wedding if I kept telling people I'm en-GAGEd.
At the wedding ceremony when asked if you will take her hand in marriage, it probably would not be a good thing to say "Make it So". - Don D. Lewis
+10 Don! - Jared Smith
"Do you take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife?" "I'll give 'er all I've got, captain!" - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
"Speak now or forever hol--" "KHAAAAAAAAAAAAN!" - Paul Reynolds
No No I converted my wife before we married it can be done, once they turn they never go back. - John D Reasor
We've decided that we can't get married until we can afford to have Patrick Stewart officiate. Because "Make it so." is about a thousand times better than "You may now kiss the bride." - James (@willia4)

Weekly Coworking at Venue 222 - http://www.cincycoworks.com/weekly-...
Interesting idea in force in Cincinnati for easing into co-working. Mentioned by @exposur3 as a possibility for easing into co-working in Charleston... - Jared Smith
Yeah, that post really clicked as a way to see if this idea has legs. Now we just need *the right* location! - Chrys

TheDigitel closes a round of funding! - http://jaredwsmith.com/2009...
Belated congratulations to Ken Hawkins and his team at TheDigitel for landing their recent investment. TheDigitel is a true asset to the Charleston community, both tech and otherwise; I know that I’ve become better in-tune with my city than ever not only because of the work they do, but because they permit citizens like [...] - Jared Smith

I’m looking forward to #chstweetup tonight at Bambu in Mt. Pleasant.

I went up to Charlotte, NC on Saturday to take part in BarCamp Charlotte 2. I got a great deal of value out of the presentations, and it was really important for me to see a BarCamp in action — important as we prepare for the inaugural BarCamp Charleston on Saturday. I was only able [...] - Jared Smith

I'd forgotten all about the toolbar swirls in old IE. It's kind of like looking at a yearbook from the 80s. - James (@willia4)
I'm trying to get IE 4 with the Desktop Update installed. The catch: I want the original IE 4.0 build, not the 4.01 build with the E icons everywhere. Nitpicky! - Jared Smith

Ok, so which one of y'all is responsible for this ridiculous trending topic?
NiggasTrending.png
Obviously someone who can't even spell :P - Rene Wirtz
Thankfully I just saw it get pulled off the Trending Topics in the sidebar. Hopefully search.twitter follows suit. Very, very bad. - Jared Smith
Will it be censored everywhere just because Twitter pulled it? Not sure about the tech stuff behind Trends. - Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah
o_O - Steven Perez
I had to restrain myself from wording this message completely different... - Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah
Just saw this tweet pop up in the stream: http://twitter.com/trendse... :-S - Zulema ◕ ◡ ◕
