SPAM in Mahalo Possible?
On the Jesus in Food page, constructed by Mahalo veteran Jonathan I found the following link: GoldenPalace.com: Put your face on a grilled cheese WARNING: Pop-Ups The subsequent website you are taken to when clicking the Golden Palace link has no content relating to Jesus in Food nor does it spawn pop ups in FF or IE6 (as Mahalo warned me it would). What’s the deal? I thought the Mahalo approach was SPAM proof? Did Golden Palace put up content and then pull the ol’ bait and switch with the editors at Mahalo? I registered with the site and reported it in the Message Board. TripAdvisor Acquires Where I’ve Been; Are They Crazy? Trip Advisor is reportedly paying $3,000,000 for a free application, that runs on another free application (at the pleasure of the latter app). Are they crazy or does this make business sense?
Hmmm, they now own the #1 and #2 apps in this category on Facebook and are displaying a new trend in tech spending.
Skype Outage Highlights Mahalo’s Faults? No offense Allen but you’re just plain wrong here. Yes Mahalo doesn’t pick up “new” news as quickly as automated bots, again just like Alexa as long as you understand how the data is collected this shouldn’t be a surprise.
The important question here is; Will the Skype outage of Thursday August 16th 2007 really go down as a “newsworthy” topic? One that would warrant a complete page on Mahalo? The answer is No, of course not, the story barely belongs in Google’s index as I’m sure it’s already been resolved and 99.99998% of the population didn’t even notice. As far as Mahalo using social news site to promote original articles I don’t really take issue with that, Jason will just need to be careful not to focus too much on that sort of social baiting. As you can see from Digg, most social communities tend to boil down the the least common denominator as the audience exands.
Bebo Social Network Top in UK … For Now I tend to think Steve isn’t going out on a limb much here in predicting that Facebook will overtake both MySpace and Bebo to take the UK Social Networking crown.
Bebo (design wise) looks very much like YouTube, and not knowing the history here I can’t comment as to why.
Verizon Unleases new RAZR iPhone Killer, Or Not Verizon and Motorola have very quiet and very ignored for the last few months as the storm from the new iPhone is in full swing. Today comes the announcement of the next generation RAZR 2. Featuring an external display (amazing!) and touch sensitive keys and bluetooth support (didn’t it already have that? or did they just de hobble it?)
I’m underwhelmed. But maybe Verizon and the RAZR can grab people looking for a high quality “phone” that don’t need to surf the ‘web’ and watch videos of dogs skateboarding.
JS-Kit Makes Adding Functionality Easy Peasy While I tend to disagree with most assessments that installing blogs, forums and other PHP scripts is a hard task, JS-Kit takes even the small hurdle away with their widgets.
VentureBeat says Forbes will Buy ClipMarks Holy crap!
As I was browsing this AM looking for stories to clip+posts I see this on Techmeme>VentureBeat. There’s going to be a lot of press and traffic to the CM site/service in the next few weeks. Let’s hope they handle it well!
Google Not Going After Digg & Netscape … Yet Mashable had the hot steaming news about Google’s new commenting system for it’s News service.
Before you start getting all giddy it’s only open to companies and organizations “related” to the news story. Beyond the editorial nightmare what surprised me was the restraint here by Google. They could have started the process of Digg/Netscape annihilation by bringing Social news to the “true” masses. Oh well, I’ll give them 6 months.
Mozilla Has Pajama Geek Parties with Hackers Yes you read that title right, ha.ckers has the poop on a little sit down with the Mozilla crew where some “gauntlet’ was thrown down by way of a business card. Yeah I don’t know either….
To quote ha.ckers directly they said they were invited to a “Mozilla “milk and cookies pajama party””
