I Read The News Today Oi Vey
- Zoho releasing a "social ERP" application called Zoho People
- Microsoft creates a Windows Live Contact API that will interface with social networks like MySpace and the fast growing Hi5
- A new study from Entertainment Media Research commissioned by UK entertainment law firm Wiggin on Digital Entertainment Media shows (among many other things) that social networks could the become content distribution platforms of choice. Get the report here.

The "I Have No Name, Please Adopt Me" Segment

#2 - The End of Customer Service (hmmmmm) and
#7 (Synthetic Authenticity) (Yay! Joe Pine. Boo, John Cloud).

I spend an inordinate amount of time on my abscessed tooth in an overt play for sympathy. But dammit, it hurts!
And of course the music; always the music....
