Are we talking about gravity? Because soon everything will gravitate around the Internet.
Are we talking about gravity? Because soon everything will gravitate around the Internet.
Sometimes, I think people either dream with their eyes wide open, or they’re just stupid. A Swedish firm, Global Gaming Factory, acquired The Pirate Bay for 4,6 million euros (about $6,4 million) “in a bid …

Twitter’s slogan is “What are you doing?”. Lately, I understood what some people do in general and what they do on Twitter in particular: repost the same tweets, ignore everybody, pose as gurus though they’re not and other similar crap they probably enjoy. Twitter is a great marketing tool, but not used in excess. I think it’s time to compile a short list of what you shouldn’t use Twitter for.

As you might have heard, Nikki Finke’s blog was sold to Mail.com Media Corporation for no less than 10 million dollars. That’s actually huge for such an ugly blog. I might say, that’s one of the ugliest websites I have ever seen in my 25 years lifetime. Still, DeadlineHollywoodDaily.com is ranked 455 by Technorati.com, which means it’s in Top 500. It probably worth the money

I never really understood why should I use a social network. I strongly believe it’s a waste of time. Still, millions use Facebook and MySpace, only them knowing exactly why. Still, talking in terms of business, the only happy people are the founders of MySpace, the ones who sold the business to Rupert Murdoch. With Facebook kicking MySpace ass in terms of traffic, the situation changes.

I’ve just seen the news: Vodafone to pump money in MySpace. I don’t know the sum, but it’s going to be a eight months campaign targeting bands, artists and music fans. It’s about people remixing tunes and uploading them on MySpace using a new application called “Go Mix”. But why should Vodafone go for this extreme measure? It’s kind of hard for me to understand the strategy.

I blog for almost six years now. I got myself this blog in English not because of some needs to comunicate the big intrinsec values of my personality or the get some consultancy contracts. No. I did it because I’m trying to find new people to inspire me. And if that’s going to happen, then that’s cool. I’m trying to respect my own rules of engagement while blogging and when speaking about blogging. A few small things that power you up to go where you want to be.

Everyone talks about websites in terms of “beauty”, “interactivity” and other crappy terms no one cares about. Lots believe that Flash covers almost everything, lot others believe Java Script should do the tricks. I don’t really care about that. For me, the best websites are those with simple and elegant designs and really usable. And this is where the problem appears: cool websites with great design and hot content that don’t respect the simple necesities.

Google Blogoscoped, one of the most famous blogs about Google, had this cool idea of making a list with all – I guess, though I’m not sure – the services Google has and, most important, that could bring real money to the company. It’s actually kind of strange that in period of crisis, everyone talk about other people’s money. But hey, it’s Google!

I’m quite a Google fan. I use GMail for e-mail, Google Reader for reading my favourite RSS feeds, I use Google Docs to open documents I receive in my Inbox, I use YouTube and, most of all, I use the search engine. Though many people would say MSN’s search results are more relevant, I believe in Google. Maybe I use it because I’m used to it, maybe not. It doesn’t matter. But I’d really need a few more things from Google’s search engine.
