WTF is the word of the day

Wednesday, January 31st, 2007

It appears to me that even though it was talked about early on by Steve Rubel, the WTF thing would die. It has not. That’s okay that Technorati tried and pulled back. Maybe there were to many already perceived connotations that we all have pointed out about the three letters W - T - F.

Technically Speaking, all I can say is Give Me A Friggin’ Break. WTF will re-appear on Technorati. It’s a great marketing ploy, almost as good as some that I have come up with in my band past, and my current web 2.0 persona.

Poop Art anyone?

Wednesday, January 31st, 2007

I was sent this dog.jpglink earlier today. I looked at it, and I’ll admit it’s kind of funny if you are into poop humor. I mean like real dog poop. The real deal from what I can tell. Anyways, nice photography, great imagination, thinking outside of the box and good for a quick look. If you are not into poop humor, pass clicking the links above.

Technically Speaking, this is definitely classified as Give Me A Friggin’ Break! A funny one, with maybe a shake of the head and a laugh, but definitely GMAFB!

Google makes bank

Wednesday, January 31st, 2007

Google’s their profits were higher then expected. Want to see how much more money they made?

Google shares fell more than 3 percent to $484.83 after the company reported total revenue growth that was largely in line with Wall Street expectations, despite some investor hopes of an upside surprise.

Net income for the fourth quarter grew to $1.03 billion, or $3.29 per share, compared with $372.2 million, or $1.22 per share in the year-earlier quarter.

Gross revenue rose 67 percent to $3.21 billion. The figure includes $976 million in traffic acquisition costs (TAC), the financial cut that affiliated Web sites receive for featuring Google advertising.

Technically Speaking, that is a lot of money for a company that started out as just another search engine.

Six Degrees — simplicity sells..

Wednesday, January 31st, 2007

6degrees.gifI was just discussing the meaning of KISS with my other two writers this afternoon in e-mail. KISS, not the band, but more like - Keep It Simple Stupid. 6 Degrees does that, and it all starts with that simple game that everyone has played before.

Technically Speaking, simple sells, and I hope the charities will benefit from Kevin Bacon’s idea for this great new site.

Need A Hug?

Wednesday, January 31st, 2007

Brought to youlongsleeve.jpg by Italian designers and voted best invention for 2006 in TIME, this hugging T-shirt was designed for long distance relationships.This hug is transmitted through a text message and sent to your shirt wirelessly, via blue tooth. With built in sensors in the back, hips, and upper arms,it allows you to physically feel someone’s embrace. This is all based upon body temperature, heart beat, and touch transmitted conveniently through your mobile phone.And yes it is washable!

Well, in my opinion this is ridiculous, but go check it out for yourself! Oh yes and if you decide to buy one, let me know and I will send ya hug from all of us here at TS!
