I doubt it. People just think it's something they should be doing. Watch for the corresponding big drop in numbers when they realise that there's not much to 'get' or adverts start polluting Tweets.

I don't understand how a chimp can do this and yet a woman in my tour group ran over herself with her own Segway when I was in San Francisco

The Olympics online were a joint production between NBC and Microsoft, and an opportunity for Microsoft to build a user base for Sillverlight, its new media player. But Flash has a much larger installed base: Adobe says it's installed on 98% of Internet-connected desktops, and is pretty much the standard for all mainstream Web video. Microsoft, meanwhile, said that during the Olympics, 40 million US to visitors NBCOlympics.com didn't yet have Silverlight installed.

“I'm trying to talk a client out of spending a wedge of money on building a presence in Second Life. (Yes I know. That's what I thought ;-) Anybody know where I can get current SL useage stats/metrics and hopefully a graph sliding down to the lower right?”
We're going to visit my daughter who will be spending her junior year in high school in Rennes. I know it will be cold - hope it will be Christmas-y too.

Sounds like a wonderful vacation Leo! Have fun. :D

I was number 8, they had 12 16gb phones in stock - now I have to wait 3 days to play with !!!

Good move Darcie. Why the 3 day wait? Activation??
- Mike Coulter
Ugh! Their credit machine went down and they have to do it all manually so hopefully that will happen in the next 24 or so hours, then a bit longer (day or so) to switch my number over. 3 days means if it happens sooner I can be happier. Never prepared enough eh? At least I was there early enough - only 12 16gb phones in stock - are they nuts?!
