Google buys Dodgeball







Google buys Dodgeball

Google buys Dodgeball 06/06/2005 12:13 AM

Dodgeball.jpg

OK - so first you graduate from Clay Shirky's exclusive school of thought, eat the red pill, drink some koolaid and do something Clay thinks is cool.

Then you use the blogosphere to launch - but you never really achieve critical mass - but that's OK. As long as Cory Doctorow or Xeni think it's cool - you're set. There's not need to achieve positive cash flow or even have more than 2 employees.

Just build up a "little traction" and come up with some cool model like "Stoli Vodka" wants to be your friend. Come here to meet Stoli (or was it Skye?) [NOTE: Eli reminds me that it was Absolut.]

Then just stand back and wait to get bought out. It worked for ODDpost, Flickr and now Dodgeball - who's next?

    NY AG Buys Google Ads On Keywords Of
    Company He's Investigating
    04/06/2005 06:28 PM
    While most US courts have determined that there's no trademark infringement in buying a search engine advertisement based on a trademarked keyword, there are still some cases going forward. So, it's a bit surprising (though, amusing) to find out that New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer was caught buying trademarked keywords promoting his campaign for governor. The keywords in question were for AIG, the big insurance conglomerate that Spitzer has been investigating for fraud. From a publicity standpoint, perhaps it makes sense. People searching on AIG may associate Spitzer's name with the company, but this is a bit trickier than someone just trying to get some publicity off of a popular keyword. Spitzer now claims it was a mistake, and the ads have been removed. Of course, what's to stop someone else from buying the same ads, and linking them to Spitzer's campaign site? In fact, at the time of this posting, it looks like some random advertiser has picked up on this story and is advertising some random anti-Google site, claiming that Eliot Spitzer and Google "overstep their boundaries." Once again, people seem to be trying to make a point through popular keywords.

    Spamalot Fans Opened Up To Lots Of Spam


    Spamalot Fans Opened Up To Lots Of Spam 03/14/2005 05:27 PM
    Fans of the Broadway musical Spamalot (based on an old Monty Python movie) might have been surprised to find out that by signing up on the musical's website to be on the show's email list, they also open ed themselves up to receiving some spam. Of course, that's just the catchy hook to make the story interesting. The real story is that Spamalot and some other Broadway shows set up their mailing list software in a way that revealed the names, postal addresses and email addresses of everyone on the list. However, there's no evidence that any spammers actually got a hold of the list, or that anyone was spamming with it -- meaning that the only reason this is worthy of getting attention is because of the amusing connection with the name of the musical. Unfortunately, the reality is that this is just yet another story of an organization having weak security in place to protect the info of customers.

    gps_uniforms_sorta.jpgJapanese school uniform maker Ogo-Sangyo Company has released their newest advancement in uniform technology: GPS-enabled blazers. The GPS terminals, located inside the uniforms, can communicate back to parents (or potential kidnappers, naturally) the location of their children, allowing them to know exactly how many stops at the okashiya they made on their way home. The terminals are built by Secom, whose GPS devices showed up in similarly-intended GPS satchels.

    Army Unveils New Uniforms


    Army Unveils New Uniforms 06/15/2004 05:25 AM

    vert.uniform.ap.jpg imageThe Army unveiled their new uniform, with a new camouflage sporting a green, tan, and gray mixture (based on a similar Marine Corps design) that is meant to work in all environments, from the concrete jungle to the forest jungle to the, uhm, sand jungle. Replacing many of the buttons with zippers and Velcro for easy access (including lots of new pockets for gear and gizmos), the new uniforms are looser and more able to integrate with the increasing amount of body armor being worn by soldiers in ongoing campaigns. This is the first major update to the uniform since 1981, when the Army declared all soldiers must wear pants in combat.

    Japanese Uniforms Book 05/31/2004 08:15 PM
    officeladyWhen I went to Japan a couple of weeks ago, I kind of became obsessed with the uniforms everybody wears there. My friend Todd let me know about a series of Japanese uniform books that J-List sells, like this "Office Lady Uniform Pictorial Book Part 1":
    For fans of the sailor uniform books, here's a "Chinkame" format photobook (pocket-sized) photobook of the beautiful uniforms of Japan's OLs (office ladies) -- those dedicated to serving tea and working on copy machines across the country. A super full-color publication documenting the cutest blazers, skirts, outfits and different uniform styles as introduced to you by the hottest current race queens. Famous uniforms of famous companies (NTT Docomo, Seibu Bus Company, BMW, etc) from across the country, with information on the style of the uniform as well as the girl modeling it. This is volume 1 a perfect bound, soft cover book that will look great on your coffee table
