I'm confused about what the pie chart is supposed to show. Is that some kind of breakdown of the sum of all the average speeds? Japan is just under a quarter of all the average speeds? That doesn't seem to make any sense. - Andy Bakun

Actually Michael R, u know Japan's market is regulated too, on the mobile phone side, oh its very complex, I have relatives living there they can let me in more about it. - polou/indigo_bow

"It seems that CBS now remains the only big network not to receive the J.J. Abrams magic touch. Today we’ve learned that a new spy project co-written by Abrams has found a home at NBC, after a prolonged bidding war between NBC, ABC, and CBS. The currently unnamed spy drama concerns a husband and wife spy team—and before you even think it, I figure the show will differ from Mr. and Mrs. Smith (a property which ironically had a lot of trouble coming back to television recently) in some big way. It’s not like Abrams to be lazy with his project concepts, so I’d be surprised if he ended up simply rehashing someone’s previously trodden material." - Jandy from Bookmarklet

++Lindsay. I thought, That's not JJ Abrams! That's Chris Pirillo! "Course, maybe Chris Pirillo writes spy shows in his spare time? - Auntie Buttinsky Botts

"This could be very addictive: Google (Google) is teaming up with board game maker Hasbro to launch a Google Maps (Google Maps) version of Monopoly (Monopoly). Monopoly City Streets, which launches Wednesday, allows users to compete in a live, worldwide version of the popular game, creating the biggest Monopoly tournament ever played. It’s an ambitious venture that we’ll confess to being fairly excited about: players will literally be able to buy any street in the world, and compete with every other player on the “board”. You start with 3 million Monopoly dollars, and can build not only hotels and houses but also football stadiums, castles and skyscrapers, reports the UK’s Guardian. Downing Street in the UK will cost $231,000, while Pennsylvania Avenue will cost $2 million." - Brad Williamson from Bookmarklet

there's a street in Manchester priced at 570million.. - alphaxion

"Over 80% of engagement with online content doesn’t take place on the publisher’s site. It’s scattered around the social hubs, like Twitter, FriendFeed, and digg. Keeping up with these activities manually can be extremely time- and resource-intensive. But PostRank tracks that activity on the most popular social sites and brings it all together, enabling stakeholders to see the full story around their content." - Louis Gray from Bookmarklet

I think if they are all business related and it is for marketing- why not. There is another app nomee.com that does a card also. It is flash based so won't work on the iphone - Kathleen Cercone

"Microsoft and Yahoo's newly forged search deal is about breaking Google's dominance, which is pretty overwhelming in the U.S. by any measure: queries, clicks or ad revenue. But as hard as it will be to dislodge Google in the U.S., it will be even harder overseas. Google has a 60% share of search queries in the U.S., but that number is 67% worldwide, according to ComScore. In many top and growing internet countries, including Germany, Canada, Brazil, Turkey and Italy, Google has more than 80% of the search market. Conversely, Microsoft has made few inroads abroad, and has 3% or less share in the U.K., Germany and Korea. Yahoo has one pocket of overseas influence: Japan, where its search share is 43%, close to Google's. advertisingage-small.jpg Ad Age Digital DigitalNext MediaWorks Google's dominance in Europe will likely be a strong part of its case when Microsoft and Yahoo seek the blessing of competition officials in Brussels for the deal.

@Adam & Nick, Tonga often responds with their own war dance, the Sipi Tau. This is a video of the two dances being performed back and forth: http://tinyurl.com/k6rlj England did respond to the Haka by turning their backs as their fans sang Swing Low', but doing so is considered highly disrespectful. Usually the opposing team just stands in a line, occasionally looking quite alarmed. - Soup in a TARDIS

Wow - the light pollution here makes for a stunning view of the city by the bay. The mountains and the clouds make the city appear isolated. Like being enclosed by the frequent fog probably feels up close. Wonderful composition. - Matt Penning

For the past 6 months or so I've been publishing to FF each month as they are available the compete numbers comparing FF vs. Twitter. By and large both sites have been growing at a very fast rate. January was no exception. January was one of FF's fastest growing months yet with a 26.6% month over month growth rate. Not to be outdone, Twitter tweeted in even more at a 34.7% month over month growth rate. Congrats to both. My money's still on FF in the long run though. - Thomas Hawk from Bookmarklet

well it is interesting to note that FF has more uniques than Twitter a year ago. Given that it is a far superior platform it will be interesting to see if they can be where Twitter is one year from now. - Thomas Hawk

"Facebook is planning to exploit the vast amount of personal information it holds on its 150m members by creating one of the world's largest market research databases. In an attempt to finally monetise the social networking site, once valued at $15bn (£10.4bn), it will soon allow multinational companies to selectively target its members in order to research the appeal of new products. Companies will be able to pose questions to specially selected members based on such intimate details as whether they are single or married and even whether they are gay or straight. The company, which has struggled to make money from advertising, has been demonstrating the benefits of its new instant polling tool to some of the most influential business leaders at the World Economic Forum in Davos. In an interview with The Sunday Telegraph, Randi Zuckerberg, Facebook's global markets director and sister of founder Mark Zuckerberg, 24, said multinational companies had been bowled over by the ability to receive real-time feed - Susan Beebe from Bookmarklet

"I remember when I initially read these emails (the thread is from last year), my first though was, "I'm glad that I don't have to work with these people." Perhaps this is unfair since they are just venting (and not all of the emails were in this category, some were reasonable), but there's something about their attitude that is just very unappealing. I can't quite put my finger on it though... Something about working at big companies seems to turn many people into whiny children. I think it's because they aren't really responsible for anything. Unfortunately, Google's transition into "yet another big company" is inevitable at this point. If you take the same fundamental structure as every other big company, and hire the same people as the other big companies, then you shouldn't be surprised when you end up looking like every other big company." - Paul Buchheit

This is an interesting take on the term "community manager". Right now I typically think of an "online community manager" as someone who shepherds the health of an existing online community. I like the term they used in the article title: "social media community manager". That seems to fit with the role they are talking about. - Laura Norvig
