1.  Coolio - Universal MAP APIs - it had to happen.  We’re hoping that this happens with storage, dashboards, modules, aggregators, media repositories, tools, IM, presence, events, the whole thing. Every domain shoiuld hgave it’s wons et of open APIs - shared in common by all vendors. [via Matt MacAllister]

2.  Tara Hunt blogged about us.  Coolio thanks - DISCLOSURE - the Citizen Agency has been hired by BBM to help us change the world.  BTW Ben Metcalfe is now also part of the CA - and we’re hiring him - too.

3.  Giant thanks to Lucas and David Galbraith.  And Phil is pointing to our APIs and Gaurav is tellling us why we should care.  And Paolo is home now - after being on the road for 3 weeks.  Even Manoj gets in the act.  And despite him not being there - we still raised a glass and toasted to Martin.

4. More on Google APIs for authentication.  And something on AOL APIs.

5. The Attention Operating system.

6. Me walking.

7. Get some of those blue dot balls.  The girls will love them.  I feel bad (after the fact) ridiculing those folks from Blue Dot.  But just the image of that PR/mkt woman going around handing out blue rubber balls was too much to ignore.  Here I am with lanyards of PeopleAgrgegator memory sticks, loaded up with code ready to be installed and incite inflammatory social networking - and these folks arre hading out ‘blue balls’.  “Well they got blue balls, and we got software” - is what I said. Meanwhile Michael Kirkpatrick wrote up something nice about them.

But how appropriate that three out of the four products also announced yesterday had some sort of aspect of ’social networking’ to them.  All I coudl think of was “how are these systems gonna get users to come join them?”  and “how will these people import their social networks into these systems - and maintain the relationships and friendships they’ve established over in MySpace or Facebook.

That made me just feel that much more proud of our team - and what we’ve accomplished.  Having real software to give away - on PeopleAggregator USB memory sticks made it that much more coolio.

8. I was thinking about red diaper babies some more, Tribe.net and the fact that I had created a ‘Tribe’ there - when we first launched Tribe.net on this very subject.  So to all you Tribesters over there - come on over, I’ve just created a network for all 33 us on PeopleAggregator.  Our very own network. Now the NSA knows where to find us.

9.  Yet another social media play - this time video sharing - added to the Benchmark/Accel cabal - out of London - of course.

10. Ton sees thing working in triangles.

11.  Our PeopleAggregator blog is live.  Subscribe for updates, nuances, tutorials, jokes and inside poop.

12. Paolo got a good shot of me - announcing.
