LOL - JA Castillo

@Kyle - it can't be polar bears! Remember she doesn't think they need to be on the endangered species list; thus she could not have been hunting them. There are still too many out there! ;-) - JA Castillo

Ya know... I heard her long lost grandpa was mauled by a kodiac.... - Kyle Lacy

Oh yeah? Well I heard she's the virgin mother of Chuck Norris. Tac told me so: http://beta.friendfeed.com/e/1... - Corie Allison

Is Linking to Yourself the Future of the Web? - O'Reilly Radar

August 19 at 7:07 am - via Bookmarklet - Link

"I'd like to put out two guidelines for anyone adopting this "link to myself" strategy: 1. Ensure that no more than 50% of the links on any page are to yourself. (Even this number may be too high.) 2. Ensure that the pages you create at those destinations are truly more valuable to your readers than any other external link you might provide. The web is a great example of a system that works because most sites create more value than they capture. Maybe the tragedy of the commons in its future can be averted. Maybe not. It's up to each of us." - Tac Anderson via Bookmarklet

"Virtual mourning A Pocatello funeral home is starting to record funerals and memorial services and broadcast them live on the internet for family members and friends that can't make the services. The Downard Funeral Home started looking into webcasting after owner Lance Peck missed his daughter's play. "I thought, wouldn't it be nice for a parent or a grandparent who couldn't go to the school and watch their child’s play could still see that," Peck told TV station KIDK. Peck plans to expand from funeral services to other community events such as sporting events and birthday parties." - Tac Anderson via Bookmarklet

A wise man once said "If you don't need a truck very often, buy a convertable instead of a truck. You will be able to trade use of it, at almost any time, for use of a friend's truck. And you have a convertable the rest of the time." On the other hand, the Tumbler would probably trade for a truck among my circle of friends just as nicely as a convertable would. On the 3rd hand, does the Tumbler have A/C, and how do you climb into a Tumbler without burning yourself after it's been sitting around in the sun for a while? In short, I don't know which one I'd rather have. - Wade Dorrell

"Great post as usual Louis, and thanks for the mention. You're absolutely right. No one's keeping score. I think part of the problem is that we're all used to being the early adopter of our networks. We're used to being the ones that people come to. And now that all the connectors are connected a lot of us have this natural desire to "stay ahead of the pack" when in reality, outside our fishbowl, we're now light years ahead of most everyone else." - Tac Anderson
