A Socially Searchable Stock Network by Feedburnerpretty cool
I have been remiss in not building out the Stock Network for Feedburner that I promised a few months back, but now there is a better reason to get off my ass.
Feedburner has added a very important feature - Searching the Stock Market Network.
Check out Fred and Brads post on the VC [...]
The Jackies from Jack in the Box
I guess we should submit our Wallstrip Jack in the Box show. The Jackies is a real well done web site. Dont really like the selections so far, but I asm biased. That said, me saying trans fat in a box pretty much screws us .
Henry Blodget writes a book on investing
Have not read it (did read the Amazon reviews), but I like his sober premise. Do less and control costs.
I had some good Chinese Food with Henry Blodget last month in New York. He likes Wallstrip and I am a sucker for our fans. I could not wait to write about our [...]
A chat with Herb Greenberg and a reminder that markets do not always go up!
I had a chance to talk at length with Herb Greenberg today and it was a thrill for me.
Herb takes the stock market seriously and hates the shenanigans from management and boards. Its America so he has been yelling into the wind most of his career.
Short sellers love him and management dreads his [...]
A Dialogue on Virtual Worlds
Last week I moderated a panel on Transforming Healthcare, Education and Business through Virtual Worlds at the Westport (CT) Public Library. There is a lot of interest in virtual worlds - and Second Life in particular, as evidenced by the...
ON THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTABILITY OF SENATORS AND GOVERNORS
HISTORY ANEW Andy Swan has a great comment to a post by Fred Wilson on Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton in this election season. It highlights something I'd known in a general sense, but had no idea of the specifics: Why the Democrats would nominate a Senator again is beyond me. Only two Senators in history?Warren Harding and John F. Kennedy?won their presidential races as incumbent senators. Senators raise big money. Senators get easy TV time. Senators get very big early audiences.....and.... Senators get beaten....by Governors.Partisanship aside, I decided to check the numbers myself, on Wikipedia, of course (and a...
ON THE STATE OF MAINSTREAM VIDEO CALLS ON MACS AND PCs
SEEING IS BELIEVING I've been doing a few more video conference calls with of late, with both business and family counterparts. They've been more prevalent when I'm using one of the Macs than a PC, even though I have webcams and Skype video-conferencing software on both platforms. But as the Apple ad subtly suggest, it's just a tad more convenient to launch a video call on a Mac than a PC due to the integrated hardware and software solution. But this post isn't a Mac vs. Windows discussion, but more about the general state of video chats for mainstream uses...
ON WINDOWS LIVE AS A BRANDING CONDIMENT
LIVE WITH ANTICIPATION I had to shake my head reading this re-branding exercise from Microsoft, as announced in a breathless blog post on the Microsoft Live Mail website:When we launch the mail service worldwide, it will be named Windows Live Hotmail. That’s right!Michael Arrington has a post comparing Hotmail, excuse me Windows Live Hotmail, with Yahoo! Mail and Google's Gmail. And it's not clear what the words Windows Live brings to the Hotmail of old in terms of features. It seems Microsoft has been liberally applying the Windows Live label to almost every piece of software or service it finds...
Week in Review
A wild and woolly week in many regards.
Did a day trip yes, day trip to San Francisco for an Automattic board meeting. The otherwise miserable red-eye to NYC Tuesday night went down a tad better as a result of some great progress reported at the Board meeting. Launched a year ago, wordpress.coms traffic [...]
Long time no blog
Can you believe it's been over six months since the last post on Xooglers? My, how the time flies.
I'm going to shamelessly usurp Doug's soap box to make a plug for free speech. Reddit today led me to this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRPVsamLaKk(Since Google acquired YouTube I figure that makes this fair game for Xooglers.)
This video is by a fellow named Nick Gisburne. His account was deleted for posting another video that was nothing but a slide show of quotations from the Quran. (That video has since been reposted by at least a dozen other people so it's easy to find.)
This really bothers me for four reasons. First, to deem quotati

Calexico @ Allen Room, Lincoln Center
I attended the Calexico show @ the Allen Room, Lincoln Center though the show was technically at Columbus Circle, not Lincoln Center. So confusing. Anyway, it was a fabulous show, and I highly recommend people check out any band at the Allen Room, just to soak up the beauty of this venue. [...]
Heading to SES London
Im getting ready to head to SES London 2007 soon. I hope to see lots of search folks there! My wife and father-in-law are coming too, which is practically a recipe for interesting hijinks.
Ive been trying to get on a London sleep schedule by getting up earlier and earlier each morning, and varying [...]
Facebook on the Rise
Social networking success story Facebook came up with a one-two punch of announcements over the past two days, as it looks to boost its social networking capabilities and become a legitimate competitor to dominant market share leader MySpace.
Google Hoping Smiles Are Contagious
Google has just started a "send us your smile" campaign. They are moving one of their offices and want to wall paper the new office walls with pictures of Google advertisers.
A nice sentiment but after a while staring at those smiling faces on the walls has to get a little much... I want to visit that office after 6 months and would wager a few of the pics have been graffittied... true smiling can be contagious but in your face smiles can be annoying after a while.
Give us any thoughts here.
A Newcomer's Guide to SES?
Rob Kerry, aka evilgreenmonkey, has put together a guide for newbies to search industry events. "The Search Conference Groupie" details the eight categories of attendees:
- The Celebrity
- The Wannabe Celebrity
- The Breadwinner
- The Wanker
- The Suit
- The Traditionalist
- The Newbie
- The Search Conference Groupie
This is a must-read for anyone who's heading to their first search industry event, and rather amusing for anyone who's been around to see these various characters. So if you're on your way to SES London next wee
Is Google Radio Sinking? DMarc Founders Depart
The founders of DMarc are leaving Google. That's the scoop from paidContent's Rafat Ali, who reports that brothers Chad and Ryan Steelberg, the company's founders, resigned amid tension over Google's approach to radio ad sales.
The Steelbergs joined Google when their automated radio ad placement company was acquired by Google a year ago for $102 million in cash plus the possibility of further payouts totaling up to $1.13 billion. If Valleywag's rumors are correct, the founders are now unlikely to see more than $200 m
From Inside EA: Buy Xbox 360 and/or Wii - NOT PS3
In the wake of my somewhat incendiary post on EA, I discovered an interesting comment on the blog FreeRepublic.com from Dr. Andrew Garrett, a game developer for EA. By way of background, Dr. Garrett is a major dude, having joined...
