These are my Delicious links for December 12th through December 15th:
- The Top 10 Most Outrageous Holiday Gifts for Foodies – "I’m sick and tired of reading about ideas for recession-era holiday gifts. We have one little global financial meltdown and all of a sudden we’re all supposed to do our Christmas shopping at Family Dollar? I don’t think so. This is Christmas! The season of greed and gluttony! The time for Americans to dig ourselves into a financial, spiritual, and health hole so deep that it lasts until Spring. Christmas is no time to start cutting up our credit cards and pulling ourselves out of this financial mess.
The “experts” keep telling us we’re in this recession thing for the long haul, so what harm could one more season of unnecessary overspending do? In that heartwarming holiday spirit, may we present the Top 10 Most Outrageous Holiday Gifts for Foodies, celebrating the best in kitchen presents that are insanely overpriced, shamelessly unitasking, and utterly, completely necessary."
- The End of Wall Street’s Boom – National Business News – Portfolio.com – Very interesting article by Michael Lewis, author of Liar's Poker, revisiting his experiences as an investment banker in the 1980's in the context of the crash he thought was coming 20 years ago.
- Namecheap.com – The Great NameCheap Twitter Trivia Contest – Free Domain and Hosting Giveaway – One of the most innovative and well thought through Twitter marketing campaigns I've seen. NameCheap, the Domain Name Registrar I use, is trying to drive Twitter integration with their registered users which they're doing through a giveaway administered via the NameCheap Twitter account. They have >3,400 followers so far.
