Video tour of Jay Shafer’s 96-square-foot house
We’ve written before about Jay Shafer’s 96-square-foot house. We recently came across the following new YouTube video of him giving a tour and we’re particularly impressed by the amount of storage space. (This is SERIOUSLY INSPIRING. So how much to you REALLY need. via @tracyshaun)
Is Twitter Trying to Kill FriendFeed?
Ever since FriendFeed was sold to Facebook, we’ve been told over and over again that the company and its community were toast. And as if to underline the fact, FriendFeed’s access to the Twitter firehose was terminated and vaguely replaced with a slow version that is currently delivering Twitter posts between 20 minutes and two hours after their appearance on Twitter. At the Realtime CrunchUp, Bret Taylor confirmed this was not a technical but rather a legal issue. Put simply, Twitter is choking FriendFeed to death. (via @chrstphrbrwn)

Steve Outing: Goodbye, for Now? But Looking Forward
(Editor & Publisher Magazine writer looks back and moves on) Back in 1995, Editor & Publisher invited me to start writing a freelance column for its brand-new Web site, initially called MediaInfo.com. An ex-newspaper journalist, I had become an early "expert" on the intersection of online services and the World Wide Web with the newspaper industry, and I began covering interactive media for the bible of the newspaper industry.
Max Your Brand With 4 Social Media Optimization Tips
If you’ve been involved in the online marketing field over the last few years you’ve probably already familiarized yourself with your share of acronyms; SEO, PPC, CPA, CTR, ROI and not to mention the latest set of crazy additions straight from the social media scene RT, DM, ROV, (ReTweet, Direct Message, Return on Value). In fact, there have been so many acronyms associated with our industry that we’ve probably forgotten more than we currently remember.
A Year In Review: 2009 Social Marketing Trends by Jeremiah Owyang
As we close out the year, it's important to look back at what happened in social marketing in order to plan for the future. There were four key trends in 2009 that CMOs should reflect on, starting at the macro level then shifting down to micro real-time updates. (when JO speaks I try and listen.)
2009 – Was it a Facebook’s or was it Twitter’s year of grace?
Every single morning when you log into your laptop and all you can read on the WATblog’s and Techcrunch’s of the world is some or the other thing about Twitter or Facebook, isn’t that enough to dedicate a whole section to the round up 2009 to these two social networking giants?! Social media was the hype of year 2009 and I guess it will continue to be for atleast the next couple of years. 2009 laid the foundation for the viral growth of these networks with the subscriber numbers increasing by millions and the features by trillions.
12 Hours, 2 Guys, 6 Cups of Coffee, 1 iPhone App
"Thai, salad or ramen?" It's lunchtime on a typical Thursday and it strikes us that millions of people all over the world are pondering the same question. This question is our launchpad, making us part of the thousands of people who wanted to build an iPhone app for "that." (lunchguy are you still following me?)
Unibody MacBook dips to $728 educational pricing
Not sure what you have to do to get edu pricing. Back in the day I used to hire UT students to buy Macs for my growing company. Today… Not sure. (That ain't no typo friends. That's a 2.2 Core Duo 2 MAC._
Apple's 7- and 10-inch iSlates to debut January 26? Wait, what?
A flurry of Apple-related tablet rumors surfaced over the weekend, that’s what! According to the latest rumors making the rounds Apple is prepping a 7- (and possibly a 10-inch) tablet called the iSlate for its public debut on January 26.
Top 11 — Yes, 11 — Movies of 2009 from Huff Po
Enough with top 10 lists. What's so special about 10 anyway? It's just a number, no more consequential than 9 or 11. Or even 14. I'm just kidding about 14. That's a ridiculous number. But what's wrong with a list of the top 8 movies of 2009? Nothing! So, because there's no place for number bigotry in a free society and because I couldn't figure out which movie to drop – to paraphrase Nigel from Spinal Tap – this list goes to 11.
Graphic: Evolution of Life on Earth
An amazing info graph of how we are all connected via evolution. As the scientist said about the religious interpretations of life on earth, "The debate is over, we've got the bones!" (Love that one.)
Video: the Known Universe by AMNH (American Museum for Natural History)
The Known Universe takes viewers from the Himalayas through our atmosphere and the inky black of space to the afterglow of the Big Bang. Every star, planet, and quasar seen in the film is possible.
Video: Never a Year Like '09 – JibJab
(And now for something completely different, as MP would say. JIB JAB rules the sarcastic roost. I had to watch this twice to believe it. Probably a few more shares in me as well.) Octomom. Balloon Boy. Tiger Woods. If there's one thing for sure in this world, it's that as long as people are acting reckless, insane and just plain stupid.
Video+Music: Kings of Convenience, "Boat Behind"
It's hard to make a video that inspires these days. This one is fun, cute and builds to a great finish. And did I say cute. WOW. And the music is pretty cool to. Off to iTunes to hear some more.
Feedburner stats for real-time web
It’s been a feature request since day one (almost!), and we’re rolling it out today : analytics. Subscribers wanted to know how many feeds they susbcribed to with Superfeedr, while publishers wanted to know how many feeds from them are used in real-time, as well as how many subscriptions they generated.
