The Times and Bit.ly Roll Out ‘nyti.ms’ Short Links - http://digg.com/tech_ne...
"Seven characters is really not all that short. Curious that they decided to actually write about this, others of us in media simply implemented our own shortened URLs as merely something that needed to be done, and didn't turn it into a "story.""

Dunkin' Donuts (1/5) - http://www.yelp.com/biz...
"Stale donuts, wrong orders, horrible service. Stay away. Get your coffee elsewhere, and don't bother with anything else there. There's another, bigger DD on Duke St."

Microsoft and News Corp in Discussions to Remove Newspaper C - http://digg.com/busines...
"Microsoft sees the opportunity to make money off of the stupidity of Murdoch and those like him that are clueless. These sites already have so much competition and not enough exclusive content to make money in a strictly-paid, un-search-able/un-indexed configuration. The time to charge was 10-12 years ago when these sites had less competition and people had more money in their pockets. Murdoch is really supposed to be a businessman? He needs some education about the Internet."

scbalazs on Microsoft and News Corp in Discussions to Remove Newspaper Content from Google - http://www.reddit.com/r...
"Somebody explain to Murdoch how the network of tubes works and all the competition that already exists for his content."

California Tortilla (2/5) - http://www.yelp.com/biz...
"Another over-lettucing experience led me to order a burrito without lettuce. It was supposed to be a "regular" but without lettuce came out to be the size of a small. Now, are they doing it on purpose…"

Re: Web Browser Faceoff: Mozilla Firefox vs. Google Chrome - http://mashable.com/2009...
"You can do that in Firefox too, in the History menu; and they've made it more robust in FF 3.5."
- S. Charles Balazs
Re: Web Browser Faceoff: Mozilla Firefox vs. Google Chrome - http://mashable.com/2009...
"My daily pain. I installed Chrome to try it out. It's now my default browser and I can't seem to change that. I also can't uninstall it, the uninstall just doesn't work. I love the speed and the UI, so much more screen space than all the crowded toolbars and menu bar on Firefox. That said, there are a few Firefox extensions I cannot live without--chiefly Feedly and Aviary. Now that FF 3.5 is out and fast enough (though not as fast as Chrome), I'm clearly in the FF camp. (But whenever I click a link, here comes Chrome as my default. >:| )"

Re: Technorati To Start Competing with Bloggers - http://mashable.com/2009...
"I got an e-mail from Technorati the other day, and I said, "Huh, Technorati still exists?" I guess so, they're up to something, but I'm not sure it's something that will give new life to their brand."

California Tortilla (2/5) - http://www.yelp.com/biz...
"I don't know why Washingtonians think CalTort is so great. I only go because it's close to work. If you've lived in the West or Southwest or are used to good, real burritos, you'll be disappointed. If…"

Il Radicchio (4/5) - http://www.yelp.com/biz...
"Yes, the service can be slow and inattentive. Sandwiches are big, portions overall are generous. It never should be about the pasta itself, although a place that focuses on pasta should be getting it…"
- S. Charles Balazs
Baja Fresh (3/5) - http://www.yelp.com/biz...
"The best soft tacos of the chains, the fish ones especially. Burritos vary from blech to OK."

"Great authentic Tex-Mex."

Cafe Asia (3/5) - http://www.yelp.com/biz...
"Trendy (and not necessarily in the good way) but delicious. Great for lunch, but when happy hour hits on a Friday or Sat, make way. Good Pad Thai, other noodle dishes. Appetizers often better than…"

"Macedonia isn't claiming anything, just the name. So, it's like Canada changing their name to American and then... that's it. It's just the name, they're not going to invade Greece and take over. Greece needs to grow up and get over it."
