Grateful Dead Fan Site Reborn as Social Network: I also want to add, WBR is using the same companies and technology, and Rhino is a sister label, so this makes me really happy. I’ve been pushing the entire WMG company into thinking about artist sites as destinations rather than billboards. We’ve been successful with our efforts so far, with much more coming. Its really nice to see our sister label Rhino stepping up and showing how its done as well.
Stanley Mouse will be selling/ signing his 1960s rock poster art in Pelican Art Gallery in Petaluma, CA on Saturday, May 17. Buy a poster there or bring your own memorabilia for him to sign.

Funny thing is, with smart people, these are not challenges. With smart partners, they are open opportunities.

seriously: awesome news if this is true. I hope they provide API hooks through XMPP payloads as well, as some good ole stateful API programs would be every nice indeed. Death to HTTP polling! FBML pushes through XMPP for the win!

This is an incredible story that I didn't know much about, but every jew and non-jew should read and be inspired by.

The ultimate twitter revenue is the use of premium SMS to provide for "fanclub" type feeds for some individuals. These would be exclusive feeds with some public messages and some private. For instance, imagine a band X that had a 1 dollar a month Twitter feed. The private 1 dollar a month feed included exclusive information, links to songs, etc. Also another twitter revenue source that can't happen if they don't fix their infrastructure: reselling the infrastructure! Getting good economies of scale with their SMS gateway and reuse from the HTTP and XMPP API's. The premium SMS one I've been hounding Ev and Biz about for a year now. I want it!

I feel like Anne Sullivan: "IT HAS A NAME!" Well thank goodness for that, because after all this time I thought I was working on just Technology!

Finally a nice use of Core Animation. Groovy and tactile.
