Long story short a local candidate here for Mayor tried to get me to write about scandal in the Mayoral elections. Doing my research she has no facts to support her claims and just pulled the wool over the ears of her voters.

Smart move (maybe) - if Google is paying Twitter to get their content, why shouldn't Google be paying others as well? News Corp is a big entity - is it a loss for Google to lose all that content or a loss for News Corp?

Good, it would save me the trouble of having to look to see if something comes from Murdoch's entities. I doubt this will actually happen, though.

Sorry but most people won't even realize that News Corp content is missing. People will search and they'll find other sites. Sorry, the unibrow of the web wins.

So if I link to a News Corp article via Twitter... will that tweet not be searchable?

Johnny, they can block Google spider from news corp sites but twitter will still be indexed as usual.
- Amit Morson
Would be a good move if News Corp carried ALL the news (sorry for allcaps). But there are plenty of others wanting for Google love.

When Murdoch and his kind get together to set a price, the Government will step in to stop what is obvious price fixing. His threat is hollow, they won't set a price.

Calacanis suggested he do this???? It figures....

He was saying the top ten news oranizations should get together and make an offer to Bing... but that Rupert was likely the only one with the balls to do it; and that Google set a precedent by paying Twitter to index their content. :o)

Jesse, I tried this and it didn't work (no messages). Do you know of any other apps that upload complete Flickr sets etc? The default facebook upload sucks (http://ff.im/7GMsW).. no exif data extraction? What are they going to use to search for photos?
- Chris Myles
Chris, I use iPhoto's built-in Flickr and Facebook support, so I just upload straight to both. I use Flickr for my best photos and Facebook for my more personal ones.
- Jesse Stay
I just have Facebook import my Flickr images directly. Seems simpler all around.
- Otto
Otto, Which facebook app do you use? Does it actually upload them with captions etc or does it just view them from the flickr feed?
- Chris Myles
No app is needed, importing Flickr into the feed is directly supported. However, this doesn't import the picture into a Facebook album or anything like that. Just shows on my news feed that I posted a new photo on Flickr. The picture remains there on Flickr, it just adds a link.

"Andrew, great to know. The talk at Paypal X Innovate didn't mention anything about utilizing your involvement in OpenID, etc. It was very much a talk about how Paypal was going to take an approach to identity - I don't recall any mention of involvement with the community or standards foundations in that effort, but I may have missed it. I was simply going off of the talk itself and audience reaction I was seeing on Twitter, and wanted to be sure it wasn't the case that Paypal was trying to do it alone. This wasn't intended as conspiracy theory, nor critique in any form. I was simply stating an observation and hope that the perception of the audience wasn't true. Glad to hear that perception was wrong."

Are they replacing the old footballs with these? I still have a PayPal football, but it's almost at it's two-year limit so I'll have to replace it soon.
- Jason Huebel
Jason, looking at their site I believe the footballs are still for sale, but these are brand new, so not sure.

"Bruno, no PHP - it's just CSS. You should just be able to edit the style.css file in your theme's main directory and set the style for the share button accordingly. I haven't looked at it enough to be able to say which class or id you need to change though."
