Twitter, Ustream â€” how much is too much? Â» mathewingram.com/work: “is this the future?” no actually, its the past with better technology, upstream bandwidth and different people other than cam-whores on the other end of the CCD. Stickam, UStream, et al are just making easier what has existed in both the seedy underbelly of the Internet (NetMeeting hubs, CUSEEME, etc) and just is “there.” Chris, Robert, etc are evolving technologically, and certainly connecting things in interesting fashions, but aren’t doing anything revolutionary at all.

Thanks for the link, Ethan. And you are right, not revolutionary — but still fascinating in a weird kind of way.

Thanks for mentioning CUSeeMe — that’s exactly what I thought of when I saw Stickam, but I couldn’t remember what it was called

I wonder what Scott McCloud is going to make of the iPad?

[From Books in the Age of the iPad — Craig Mod]

if just half of the iPad book apps are going to be like this, and I was Amazon or Dell, I would be having some crisis meetings in conference rooms right about now.

If I was in the set-top box market, or TV content market, I'd react with a significant amount of fear to Tim Cook saying Apple had no interest in the TV market.

Yeah, thought so. I bet the next platform is AppleTV. Natural fit.

So the Windows performance analyst community is about as smarmy as the seduction community. Who'd have thought?

This happened to me on Orbitz when we went to Maui. I ended up having to call Orbitz and go through tons of levels to complain, called the GM of the hotel, etc. We got taken care of, but the hotel basically said that they treat Travelocity, Orbitz and Expedia bookings as second to direct or agent booked travel.

Couldn't have happened to a better group. Love UrbanAirship.

I can attest to this. I've stopped buying Android phones because I figure every time you do, something "Amazing" is coming out on another carrier, or even on the same carrier. At least on the IPhone you know: Every July.

Can this please be the DirectTV Tivo that we all so need.

[From TiVo schedules a March 2nd NYC event and we’ll be there ]

Why does the fact that someone is announcing a phone automatically mean its an iPhone killer? Lazy journalism, that's why.
