Have a great weekend…

“The best part is that it bounced right back out of bounds, so he gets to do it again after the other kid stops crying.”

Technorati: State of the Blogosphere 2008 - There have been a number of studies aimed at understanding the size of the Blogosphere, yielding widely disparate estimates of both the number of blogs and blog readership. All studies agree, however, that blogs are a global phenomenon that has hit the mainstream.
Web 2.0 Asia : Do they sell Mercedes-Benz cars on TV elsewhere? - A Korean dealer of Mercedes-Benz cars saw dozens of customer sign-ups (what they call "pre-contracts") after they aired an infomercial on the $170K Benz S550's on Korea's home shopping TV channel.
The noise in Web 2.0 is mainly a Tech Elite’s problem - If anything the current web 2.0 trend is fragmentation. There are thousands of social networking sites out there, each fighting a battle to get users. There are a whole lot of services that let you interact, publish, follow or be followed. There are aggregating sites that aggregate it all for you. There are aggregators that aggregate all the content from the sites that already aggregate content for you. And if that wasn’t enough we now need to take it away from the browser and move each of these services into tiny little desktop applications. I can already predict the next wave in desktop application development. Someone is bound to get the idea to integrate Twhirl and all those other desktop applications into one big aggregator on the desktop.

Tell-a-Friend: Leverage Word of Mouth Marketing - Tell-a-Friend makes it possible for your site visitors to share your content with their friends without directing them away from your site. Tell-a-Friend synchs with their IM, email in the context of the content they're sharing without those tedious pop-up forms that require manual input.
Open Source Intel Rocks — Sorry, It’s Classified - So-called "open source" intelligence — spook-speak for tidbits taken from newspapers, internet postings, and TV shows — is starting to play a major role in the nation's spy agencies. That's a major change, in a world that's used to relying on secret satellites and clandestine agents. But old habits die hard. Open source intelligence may come from unclassified material that's available to anyone with a TV or an internet connection.
Leave Wall Street and Join A Startup - For years, one of the biggest challenges facing New York city based startup companies has been the competition for technical talent. It was very difficult for a venture-backed startup to compete with the compensation packages offered by the big investment banks. Stock options had a hard-time overcoming oversized cash bonuses.
It’s Time To Open Up The Feeds To Marketers - So it's time to start allowing marketers into these feeds on a highly targeted/highly relevant basis. FeedBurner did that with this blog's feed and many other feeds with ok results a few years back. But honestly, the ads were not targeted enough or relevant enough to work really well. Facebook has probably done the most of anyone to allow marketers entry into the feed. Here's a screenshot of facebook news feed this morning. You can see the sponsored feed entry for the vista business network in there at the bottom.

There isn’t any recession. - "There isn't any recession. The latest figures show that we clearly were not in one as of midsummer, whether you use the rule-of-thumb definition - two consecutive quarters of GDP shrinkage - or the looser concept of a sustained and significant economic decline.
The economy shrank marginally (-0.2%) in the fourth quarter of 2007, but otherwise it's been growing steadily for years. In the most recent quarter it grew at a vigorous 3.3%, fueled not by government stimulus checks but by a strong rise in net exports.

Consider the 1992 election: The last recession had been over for 18 months, and President George H.W. Bush campaigned by asserting that the economy was growing smartly. But the psychological recession, stoked back then by corporate restructuring, was still going strong. Bill Clinton understood that and campaigned by telling voters he felt their pain. Bush was right, but Clinton won."
