June 4th blogging - ‘08

 Congrats to the Jackie Robinson of politics. Now we just gotta keep this guy alive!

Been having fun interacting with all these people I haven’t pinged in over a year.  And what a year it’s been!: OnOne.com, iTimes.com, BellVideoStore.ca, GTCHannel.com, SocialWorld.com, 2Your2Retire.net, Portokalada.com - great to catch up with so many.  Of course most of them won’t go into Plurk - but that’s OK.  They were guinea pigs in my experiment.

Turns out Grouply has more networks than Ning. This isn’t surprising given that Grouply is built to work with Yahoo Groups.  This says many things:

    - just how badly Yahoo dropped the ball when it comes to Y! Groups

- that the issue of how many networks - really isn’t relevant

-  as the CEO of Grouply points out in the comments, they’re building on existing networks, while Ning is creating new ones.

-  this game ain’t over with - yet.

Man!  Its as if something happened to the Yahoo Sales force and they finally figured out they have to hussle to keep their jobs. I wonder what happened that caused this? :-)  All of a sudden they’re cutting deals, leveraging their 150M users.  You’d think they were under siege or that their boss has been told to step down.  Hmmmmm  Yah think?

Now that we have the Yahoo Address book APIs we can add that to our list of systems we can support. I just hope they’re two-way.

Turns out the fbOpen Facebook source code requires that anyone who uses the code, MUST also open source THEIR code.  It’s called the CPal license Stay away is my advice.

Vintage Hendrix and Marley performances soon available - for purchase.  Sorry got that already via…..

Google Gadgets for Linux

The battle over the high-end graphics chip market - continues.  NVidia vs ATI

Shawn Fanning gets over - again. I guess starting companies for Shawn is a little different than for me.
I wonder if things will change for SpiralFrog now that they’ve signed a distribution deal with - EMI.  In the old days this was a sign of success - nowadays it may be a deathknell.
