Talks about net neutrality in relation to allowing any device on the network and mentions how apple is controlling despite the fact it was pushed by “alpha” geeks that push for open systems.

Testing facebook comments on the latest wordpress version 2.2.infinity (effin upgrades are ridiculous)

I can’t honestly envision an event to propagate my own meme let alone the class meme. I guess you could have some kind of gathering for the alumni and undergrads to mingle with free beer, food, and music and get to talking with each other which would encourage the future use of the NMD system we are trying to do in class to communicate with each other.

Basically the article sums up how Twitter doesn’t want to be greedy and sell out to a bigger company but at the same time they still want to take control of their own company and make the changes they see fit. They envision twitter eventually making its way into cell phones as a quick text option and shortcuts in cellphone browsers to the service to better integrate twitter with the rest of the world and every portable object you have. They still want to keep the service simple however, which is why the have always tried to keep the actual service itself as simple as possible yet still allowing for an open API to developers so they can do as they please. They always envisioned geeks taking twitter and hacking it to do as they pleased.

I need people on facebook to comment this. The note itself is actually being written from wordpress, then being sent to facebook automatically. I’m testing to see if the comments will automatically be placed into my blog without me manually updating.

Thanks to everyone who types a quick comment.

If you can get past the  typical shit NY Times journalism and read the real content two kids, young adults really, had all government funding for Acorn halted because of some undercover video work they did and viral video that got to the right people in the right places.

And so you don’t have to read the Times bullshit heres the link to the site that started it all.

The article talks about how google is trying to make it for anyone to “packup” their data and leave any of googles services. However, despite the fact its easy to export blogger and picasa, and gmail they still didn’t make note about weather or not the information is gone from their databse which raises some concern.
