"Thanks! I've got to get back to regular posting here. I've been on the road for 24 straight weeks... leaving tomorrow for 25th. Hopefully, that will be the last for a while." - Bob Finch

"I'm glad you found it useful. I simply have to get back to posting to this blog regularly. The "road warrior" excuse is getting thin." - Bob Finch

"Clearly, Microsoft should have bought and used a different photo. It's not like Corbis doesn't have any images representative of what Poles might expect to see in an advertisement. However, the criticism of Microsoft is clearly an application of American political correctness upon the the people of Poland. By extension,it comes across to me as prejudiced against the Poles to some extent. Either that, or we have a whole bunch of folks who are totally ignorant about the way the world works. The Polish people are proud of their ethnic identity, as they have been for generations upon generations. Good for them! Some Americans are among infinitesimal minority, mostly Westerners, in the world today who condemn that sort of historical truth in the name of political correctness. So, they browbeat Microsoft into making an apology for an "offense" that does not exist. Absurd. Imposing their opinion in situations like this makes it clear that they are the ones with problems about race; they..." - Bob Finch

An interesting thing happened in the past 24 hours or so: two major news stories were broken on Twitter. By itself, that’s not very remarkable; news breaks on Twitter all the time. But usually, when news first appears on social media channels such as Twitter, it’s the type of broad-reaching story that affects a lot of people on the ground. Things like wildfires, earthquakes, and riots. - Bonnie Foster

This may be the day we all look back and say it was the day the mainstream media became assimilated into the social hive. - Bob Finch

Pretty cool - Bob Finch

I've tried them all. For me, nothing comes close to matching the awesomeness of the Firefox Add-on App, Feedly. It mashes up your Google Reader feeds into an online magazine-style interface with pictures and a smorgasbord of other tools. Like an article and want to forward it, tweet is, recommend it or save it? It's all there. - Bob Finch from FriendFeed MT Plugin

This was a very prescient piece to craft. - Bob Finch

Downloads replace DVDs, CDs. No question. And eventually, streaming replaces downloads. - Louis Gray

I generally prefer having my media in digital format. But every so often an artist puts together an "album" that deserves my keeping it on disk. Now, I know this sort of accomplishment is unusual these days, and maybe I pine too much for someone to match or surpass Moody Blues', Pink Floyd's or The Beatles' mastery of that element of the art form, but I feel obliged to hope. Some albums... more... - Bob Finch

This puts that self-portrait in a different light. - Bob Finch

Hey, they're abusing finches again! LOL - Bob Finch

Rich is a great photographer, not just for nature but for just about any need. - Bob Finch

"I suppose this may fit into the "fictional character" category, but what about inanimate objects on Twitter? For instance, where I live we recently started publicizing details about a local flooding issue using our drainage well (@rainywell) as a Twitter character (linked to a Squidoo page) to spread news, make (hopefully) pithy comments and generally have some fun admist a tough situation." - Bob Finch

If you are considering using Mind Mapping for organizing your thoughts, here's a new, free program. Looks interesting. - Bob Finch

This is so danged "duh! why didn't I think of this before?" - Bob Finch

There's just so much good in this opinion piece that I'd be very remiss not to share it. - Bob Finch

This seems to be one potentially legitimate path to ROI for Twitter. it would be interesting if companies could pay to have the question, "how do you feel about 'Brand X?' randomly replace the "What are you doing?" default question. How to get that to work in phone and desktop apps is an issue, but not an insurmountable one. - Bob Finch from Bookmarklet

Robert Reich again proves what an unmitigated asshole he is. - Bob Finch

Golly gee. I guess reverse racism is really back in fashion now that we've anointed The One to save us from ourselves. What a load of crap. - Bob Finch

I'm not surprised about this dangerously absurd line of thuoght, but as.a conservative I know that had the Republican leftist been coronated the other day it would have resulted in the same suicidal policy. - Bob Finch

There are a lot of negative comments about the peeks into the alpha version of the next MS Office Suite. I disagree. I see ways this might be heading toward integration of document creation with social media experiences. - Bob Finch

People laughed at those who foresaw where we are today. Shameful. - Bob Finch
