Nope, sorry, the early adopter culture is cynical and the early majority is fickle. If we'd stop paying attention to the shiny we'd kinda see how obvious it is. Nothing wrong with the NY Times advice. Then again, I'm a moderate, so I *would* say that. Carry on, nothing to see here.

How cute, someone used Alexa graphs to judge the OH SO OBVIOUS success of Topsy over Wordnik. Quantity, not quality. How very American of you.

Of course they do, but if cleantech gadgets, cars etc became the new shiny, they'd choose them too.

Was talking to someone today about how Seesmic wasn't the best product out there, but had the best known personality behind it. Just now, I read a comment on TC about how Friendfeed is better, but no one cares. Sure, there are some 'celebrities' on here, but, it's not getting the mainstream wings like Twitter et al. Odd dynamics.
As an aside I showed a killer product that's been around for a while that's like all of the apps rolled up into one (twitter, FF, seesmic, jaiku, etc), and the only response I got was 'why doesn't anyone know about this?' Heh. Dunno, it's my observation, but not my problem.

no, i got my ass kicked last time. "I got a free ticket!" and 2500 bucks later from room and board, it was kinda a fail. But I might have news about a possible residency in a certain part of the northwest, shhhh.

gnomedex wasn't a fail, btw, the cyborg preso and also meeting amber case was well worth it, heh. Maybe this year people can get off the Twitter crack. It makes us look boring.

It's all about mass and simplicity. FF is like a boutique for discerning shoppers and Twitter is like Sears with a wider market appeal. Very few people are narcissistic enough to spend their days staring into a camera. And very few people publish in more than one place.

Have you checked out Infamous for PS3? One of the neat things is you get missions like "Restore power to this neighborhood."

I love Infamous (but I loved Crackdown like BIG TIME)... I'm prolly returning Prototype. Also: SpinMartin on PS3

"Can we sue ya for media illiteracy instead? First, it would be 'libel' for written word, not slander, if that was the case. Second, how exactly does reporting on a US Court of Appeals complaint somehow not 'researching information'? Please don't represent Kinkade in such a manner. It's creepy."

"Psst, city council... ya know, if you want to promote a little less reliance on cars, you might look for an alternate solution than razing someone's quaint home for -eight- parking spots. It's a nice catch-22, though. Car-clingy residents on one side, neighborhood preservationism on the other. Avoid the PR headache. Razing an old liquor store for a boatload of parking makes more sense than someone's home. Any seven year-old with a copy of Sim City could figure that one out."
