Scanning Digg I saw this Old Spice social advert, the Old Spice guy (who I had never seen before seeing an ad at PREDATORS the other night) is in a video saying hello to Kevin Rose, the CEO of Digg. It’s pretty funny. Check it out:

Can you imagine my your brain and my [...]

Saw this video today, thanks to a coworker.  I really thought it was pretty insightful and relevant.  We easily forget how much change is actually happening over the course of a few years when we live day to day.  I’ve been adamant and still am about the incredible alterations we are seeing due to computer [...]

I have a lot of different groups of friends and contacts.  I could list them, but it’s roughly eight disparate groups of people that I’ve met over the years through school, work and various other functions.  Staying in contact with all these people is trying.  If you haven’t met me personally, you’d likely see that [...]

Via Doc Searls, a great piece answering ten very good questions about how the tubes will evolve.
Seriously, read it.  It’s an impressive account.

Twitter just added geolocation to it’s growing list of services to tweets.  That’s a really big deal as 4square has been making so many waves in the last few months.  I tested it and it works really, really well.
