![Give-A-Fuck-O-Meter<\/a> – Saving this to send to people in the future when they tell me something I could care less about.<\/li>\nThe Conservative Case for Gay Marriage<\/a> – Conservative attorney Ted Olson, a member of the legal team challenging the federal constitutionality of California's Proposition 8 banning same-sex marriage, explains his rationale for participating in the case as a conservative American who wishes to preserve and forward the fundamental principles on which this country was founded:\n"Conservatives and liberals alike need to come together on principles that surely unite us. Certainly, we can agree on the value of strong families, lasting domestic relationships, and communities populated by persons with recognized and sanctioned bonds to one another. Confining some of our neighbors and friends who share these same values to an outlaw or second-class status undermines their sense of belonging and weakens their ties with the rest of us and what should be our common aspirations."<\/li>\nYouTube – Sugar: The Bitter Truth<\/a> – A very interesting, if long and sometimes quite technical (it is a med school lecture) explanation of the scientific, socio-economic, and political reasons our food is making us less healthy as a nation (and ultimately a planet) in the last 30 years. It centers around increasing our refined sugar intake, in particular fructose, which has the same long-term chronic health effects as alcohol.<\/li>\nThe Third & The Seventh on Vimeo<\/a> – One of the most amazingly photo-real works of CG animation I've ever seen.<\/li>\nFacebook Developers | Extending Facebook Share<\/a> – Mention of awe.sm in the official Facebook blog post announcing their new sharecount button and data APIs.<\/li>\nHow Best Buy plans to beat Wal-Mart – Dec. 1, 2009<\/a> – A strategy to make Clayton Christensen proud. Best Buy is betting that the consumer electronics and computer markets have not yet reached a good enough point where cost is the only factor. By providing an integrated buying\/service solution with their in-house Geek Squad division, Best Buy hopes to differentiate from retailers like Wal-Mart who are commoditizing the purchase experience. In this case Best Buy is playing the Apple Computer role to Wal-Mart's WinTel approach.<\/li>\nWhat’s strategic for Google?<\/a> – An interesting and concise analysis of Google's various product\/business initiatives using a simple but intuitive strategic framework.<\/li>\n500 Internal Server Error<\/a> – 500 Internal Server Error<\/li>\nEntrepreneuring…Side Effects | Howard Lindzon<\/a> – A humorous (but all too true) list of the potential side-effects of starting your own business.<\/li>\nPaul Buchheit: Open as in water, the fluid necessary for life<\/a> – A very interesting rationale for the potential common good of social media behavior that is increasingly referred to as "over-sharing". The more we share about what we think and do, the more information will be available to help improve ours and others' future decisions.\n"The basic pattern of openness is that better access to information and better systems lead to better decisions and better living. This general principal is broadly accepted, but we're just now discovering that it also applies to the minutiae of our lives."<\/li>\nThe New Music Business Model: Imogen Heap « Deep Dive Marketing<\/a> – A very thorough account of the many ways Imogen Heap is using different social media services (i.e. Twitter, YouTube, Flickr, uStream) as a cohesive whole to build deeper relationships with her most engaged fans.<\/li>\nPing – How Sharing Links Has Become Big Business – NYTimes.com<\/a> – NY Times article on the democratization of influence on the web and the roll of individuals and their social networks as traffic drivers.<\/li>\n20×200 : Print Information : think-make-think (second edition)<\/a> – If I were ever to hang an inspirational print on my wall, this would be it.<\/li>\nCommunilytics: Applied Community Analytics: Web 2.0 Expo New York 2009 – Co-produced by TechWeb & O’Reilly Conferences, November 16 – 19, 2009, New York, NY<\/a> – Web 2.0 Expo panel on which I will be speaking on 11\/16\/2009<\/li>\nOp-Ed Contributor – Wall Street Smarts – NYTimes.com<\/a> – A deceptively simple (yet likely true) explanation of the underlying cause of the financial meltdown: the level of Wall Street’s intelligence finally caught up with that of its greed.<\/li>\nTwitter to Facebook: 5 Ways to Post to Both<\/a> – Mashable mention of TweetPo.st.<\/li>\nLetters of Note: Okay, you lazy bitch<\/a> – A great letter from Hunter S. Thompson to a production executive on film adaptation of his book “The Rum Diary.” If you know anything about the film business, you know that sometimes cursing and threats of bodily harm are more than appropriate, they’re necessary \ud83d\ude42<\/li>\nNo. 1 With Bullets? USB Uzi Is Latest Killer Album Format | Underwire | Wired.com<\/a> – Wired blog coverage of the upcoming release from Get Busy Committee, which will be available on Uzi-shaped USB drives.<\/li>\n100 years of Big Content fearing technology\u2014in its own words – Ars Technica<\/a> – A well-compiled overview of the arguments used by content industries to stifle various production and distribution innovations from the gramophone to the DVR. The overriding theme being that incumbent content producers are more inclined to seek government intervention (usually through sensationalist fear-mongering tactics) to protect old models in the face of new technologies rather than to figure out ways to improve their businesses to take full advantage of the benefits these technologies afford.<\/li>\nOlark – sell better using live chat<\/a> – Live chat tool to interact with customers on your website in real-time.<\/li>\n30 Under 30 2009 – Hype Machine Profile<\/a> – Very nice write-up of my friend Anthony Volodkin, founder of the Hype Machine, named #27 in Inc. Magazine’s 30 Under 30 for 2009. He definitely should have been higher \ud83d\ude42<\/li>\nThe power of no reward | Derek Sivers<\/a> – An interesting article on the difference between ‘Social Mindset’ and ‘Market Mindset’. Actions driven out of personal volition are more authentic and the motivation is more powerful though more difficult to activate. Whereas actions driven out of financial calculation are by definition more mercenary — easier to activate, but of less value and harder to maintain. If you can appeal to someone’s ‘Social Mindset’, you cheapen your offer by invoking their ‘Market Mindset’.<\/li>\nThe Power Of Passed Links<\/a> – A framework for thinking about the relative value of inbound traffic from different sources based on conversions (however one defines them) and growth. The hypothesis is that links passed from friend to friend via channels like Facebook and Twitter will have significantly higher conversions.<\/li>\nEdward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes: Get Wasted With The Day, In Robes recorded Aug 31, 2009<\/a> – Live session with Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, including downloadable tracks.<\/li>\nOfficial Google Blog: Leave the math to us: Advertisers increase their profits using Conversion Optimizer<\/a> – “Each and every time someone types in a search query, AdWords runs a new keyword auction. Advertisers who are still bidding on a cost-per-click basis will be using the same bid in many different auctions, so sometimes their bid may be too high or too low. However, for advertisers using Conversion Optimizer, we’ll automatically adjust the bid for each of these auctions so that it can hit the sweet spot more often, helping the advertiser to make more money.”<\/li>\nSeed is the new Series A for VCs | VentureBeat<\/a> – A good overview on the move by later stage investors into earlier “seed” rounds along with advice for entrepreneurs on raising a pre-Series A round.<\/li>\nKnow all those Retweet Buttons across the web?
