Helping FriendFeed?January 3

Twitter marketing is SXSW screens? Did that really matter? I think that's laughable as the reason that Twitter got popular at that SXSW. It's also revisionist. The reason Twitter took off at that SXSW was Leo Laporte was praising it the week before and used it at the Gamers Developers' Conference. That got a ton of SXSW'ers starting to use it the weekend BEFORE SXSW and THAT is why it was so hot at SXSW. Yes, the signs helped put icing on the cake. By the way, if friendfeed gets us track it'll be THE big deal at this year's SXSW. friendfeed is growing much faster than twitter did that first year. Way faster.

Well, to help Dave out of his bondage to the Scoble sphere I blocked him on friendfeed tonight to see whether that helps. But, to the other part of his post I'll do a blog post about that.

2008 shows Document Sharing on a high: Scribd in top 20January 1

A comScore ranking shows Scribd was on a high in 2008, with unique visitors increasing rapidly, worldwide. Overall the ranking also shows that document sharing on the Web has a real demand and there’s room for more success. Turns out that Scribd has more unique visitors around the globe than Imeem – and round-about the same as Bebo. Though on the note of December’s steep drop in stats, CEO Trip Adler states: The drop-off on Quantcast was caused by the fact that we removed the Quantcast pixel from Scribd for a little while because it was slowing down page loads. However, I’m not sure why these numbers are still on the low side. According to our Google Analytics, we did 39.9 million unique in November, and if you include views of iPaper on other websites, it was way over 50 million uniques. It is also notable that Scribd is way ahead in document-sharing services than Docstoc and Issuu. ---Related Articles at Startup Meme:ClickPass embeds Google, Hotmail, Yahoo and Facebook into its OpenID.12seconds- a micro video messaging service or call it a true “twitter video”

Lenovo's ThinkPad W700ds photographed and reviewedDecember 31 2008

I played with this monster next to a MacBookPro and the screen is mind blowingly great quality. This machine was made for photographers. I wish I could get one, but can't afford it.
