Last night's US primary results: wisdom of the crowds?

Last night’s rollercoaster ride for the Indiana results reminded me at one point of Israel’s 96 elections where Peres was ahead in the evening and lost to Netananyahu in the morning -) Did we witness the wisdom of the crowds with last night’s US primary results ? Let’s see what HRC’s meetings today bring forth.

Back to tumblring- PBS' Carrier show

After a brief hiatus, I’m back to tumblring ! In the marketing/advertising world, one of the most interesting trends I’ve noticed (and twittered) is cable networks advertising their shows during movie theater previews. Think about it, TV, which was supposed to “kill” movies, is marketing itself to moviegoers. This allowed me to learn about a great PBS show “Carrier”, shot on the USS Nimitz during a 6 month deployment in 2005. Produced by Mel Gibson’s Icon, it’s a great deep dive into the US Navy and its diverse makeup. Check it out ! This post is sent via my BBerry and will updated for links asap.

Will the other (tech) shoe drop ?

In these uncertain economic times, a number of recent articles&posts suggest that the tech/web/social media sector will/may take a hit :

CNET - Web 2.0’s high water mark

Reuters - 1 in 4 US companies cut IT in Q1 

Yet, other news offer a new horizon, such as CERN’s new superfast internet.

Will the tech shoe drop ? And if so, what innovations will this spur ?

The state of our digital union

This morning’s social media breakfast and other recent conversations (Scoble on Tue night) have convinced me to start collating data and opinions on the state of our digital union. Stay tuned !

Jumping on the FriendFeed wagon

After hearing everyone, including Scoble in-person last night, give FriendFeed a big thumbs up I figured I should give it a try.

Find me at : http://friendfeed.com/fredericguarino

I’ll report back on how FF works for me as a user.

James Gillmore aka FaceySpacey made an interesting comment on FB last night and asked why/when FF would add HelloText.com to its feature sets.

PS : remember when FF stood for Firefox -)
