OK - so here we go the final part of the triology of me reviewing all the Best Posts I did last year. After covering the Controversies and Big stories, and then what I posted about ‘Talking ’bout others’ - now it’s time to focus on who pays the bills around here. And […]

Robert sets the records straight. I just want some of that dumb Intel money! Maybe some of that Seagate money too. Or how ’bout just giving us hard drives? That reminds me of Tom Rielly (of PlanetOut fame) giving away FWB hard drives. I think Tom was the first guy to do that.

Ballmer: Vista […]

So Johannes Ernst agrees with someone named Dave Kearns - in saying that ’silos are no good - and we shouldn’t have silos’. 
Yo dudes.  If one’s data isn’t in a silo, where is it?  On your desktop machine?  Or some anonymous ID broker?  Or where?  I’m saying that regardless where the data is - it […]

OK - so yesterday I did a roundup of Controversies and Big stories. Now I’ll focus on all the coolio, external pointing posts I did last year - and tomorrow culminate with the posts which surround our products, ideas and memes.
So here are a bunch of externally focused posts form last year - that resonate:

I was looking for “the stories” that typified the year and I wanted to try and make this year - a better year.

PowerReviews, Goodstorm, Social network map of the New Testament
I agree with […]

I just got this comment from someone named Andre Taliercio. He says:
Trying to build an ID hub into a social networking will not work, because it will result into a social network with no identity or if you will, no culture, so it is a born-dead network.
So let me take this opportunity of not […]

Ross Rader - in Rome for ICANN - Trevi Fountain.

Steve Levi’s viral scam. You can do the writing for him.

Liz Henry’s favorite Tacqueria.

MyBlogLog integrated with Flickr!

My favorite Hugh card in a while.

I agree with Rafat - Chad Hurley was being very flippant and rude to off-handedly mention that YouTube was gonna start paying users. Clearly the power of being on stage with Bill Gates was getting to him. This often happens to young people who get too much attention - too fast.
Speaking of parlaying fame […]

I have been asked three times now - by smart people - to change the term “PeopleAggregator“. And Jon Husband just left an intelligent comment noting that ‘digital lifestyle aggregation’ is too confusing and technical.
Well let me share with you - what I answered to Jon in email:

Every time someone complains of the terms […]
