Google’s negotiations with Digg are back on…

TiVo wants to turn the television remote control into a tool for buying the products being advertised and promoted on commercials and talk shows. It’s time to make this a reality!

LinkedIn users are now being shown personalized news targeting their industry verticals on the Business and Technology sections of NYTimes.com and will then be prompted to share those stories will professional associates. Great idea.

Interesting story on Christopher Poole, a New Yorker who was only 15 when, with the help of his mother’s credit card, he launched 4chan from his bedroom five years ago. Time hailed him as the ‘Master Of Memes’. (e.g., Lolcats, Rickroll).
-
Here’s Christopher Poole’s site. It’s larger user base is obviously the power behind its memes.

This is my old stomping grounds, and I’ll be there Tuesday. I’d love to check out a Tesla. I’d never spend this much on a car — gas or electric — but I have to believe the prices are on their way down already.
-
Here’s on open source version of Twitter. Pretty cool. Idea: Now a company can set up its own Twiitter network for employees. This has lots of potential.
-
This list is floating around. Hard to keep anything confidential anymore. I wonder what the employees of these stores are thinking this morning.

Good video on Google’s social media functionality — currently being randomly tested.

Peter Kim joins Jeffrey Dachis. Congrat’s Peter. A lot of interesting things happening in Austin.

Doctors online… interesting POVs.

My wife & colleagues in Copenhagen will get a kick out of this post. Cocio is an old, popular brand based in Denmark. The last time I was there my wife advised me to go to “town square” for great hot dogs and chocolate milk. That’s what we did.

Adrian Pike noticed something cool on search results: buttons to vote on links, much like Digg or StumbleUpon.

Just when we thought radio was safe, Jeff Jarvis predicts its death…

comScore today reported that U.S. Internet users viewed more than 12 billion online videos during the month, representing an increase of 45 percent versus year ago. Yowza!

Jeff hunt passed this to me — Texans will like this one. I’m guessing this was one long, hot ride.
-
Josh Dilworth predicts more deals like this. I think he’s right. The trends makes digital influencer relations more important.

Here’s the future of American swimming — 15-year-old Elizabeth Beisel. She’s further evidence that kids are maturing earlier.

P&G is inviting 15 “mommy bloggers” to the company’s Cincinnati headquarters later this month. Since five people sent me this I thought I should post it. I’m a little surprised P&G has never done this, but it certainly further validates social media.

Dear Rob Walsh… (note Rob’s our CIO and I really want one of these babies).

Representative John Culberson, Republican of Texas, protects his rights to use Twitter?!

A new consumer demographic emerges: The “Never Greens”— people who either don’t care or are not interested in America’s new passion for sustainable, green products. I know a few… Thanks, Michael Gale, for sharing.

Nice comment from Andy Lark on our merger. Thanks, Andy.

Forrester’s recent Web 2.0 survey shows IT departments taking a more active role in the acquisition and deployment of Web 2.0 technologies. My experience is they are pretty active already except on projects that are “under their radar.”

American (and Texan) Olympic swimmer Eric Shanteau is heading to Beijing with a devastating diagnosis: He has cancer. We’re pulling for Eric on all fronts.

Here are some early download stats on the most popular iPhone apps. Makes sense that “remote” is far and away #1. It lets you remotely access your Mac.

Like Lionel, I can’t believe Direct2Dell turned 2 years old! His post talks about next steps — integration on a single platform. I agree with him. Dell also should integrate on a single strategy and set of objectives for their digital ecosystem(s).

iPhone 3G “unboxing” videos and photos are all the rage — early reviews are very good. I may have to get Jen one so I can use it occasionally. My Crackberry can’t be replaced by the iPhone yet.

This is sort of cool — Google’s Lively let’s you add a virtual room to your website or blog where visitors can hang out and interact with each other. Someday I believe websites will be more 3-D. You can enter “My Virtual Island” via my sidebar.
-
Twitter is acquiring this company — it’s a search and auto-sentiment engine for Tweets. Here’s an assessment of “Olive Garden” (a Cohn & Wolfe client) which is very good.
-
Interesting analysis on the importance of Links by Louis Gray. His analysis suggests the more inbound links the better — because it will improve a posts rating on sites like Techmeme and Google search which deliver the most traffic.

Nice post from Steve Rubel on how to be productive with social media. I especially believe in applying the Pareto Principle (or the 80/20 rule). I subscribe to 100 feeds. I try my best to read 20 - my A-list — every day.

Good post from Pew on the impact of the Internet on news and information consumption.

The UK Government wants to hear your ideas for new products that could improve the way public information is communicated. Crowdsourcing is showing up in a lot of interesting places.
