Off-site round-up
Way too tired to make an original post here today after staying up till 3 amazed to see how many of my old anti-establishment type friends have active MySpace accounts and then getting up at 5:30 to interview Robin Good in Rome for Net Squared (coming soon -yay!)
I have made a number of posts over on Social Software today that I think will be of interest to readers here, though. Including: YouTube goes mobile, a New Survey of Familiary with Web 2.0 terms, Grazr gets money and a partner, Global Voices Online gets money from Reuters, CoComment now offering Fire Fox extension for auto-capture of your comments and finally, anyone’s video soon to be subscribable via Tivo.
I thought I’d also point out a post I made yesterday to the MobileActive blog about the use of RSS to SMS/IM for mobile phone toting activists. Big thanks to Katrin for the invite to post that (I love these tools, really want to spread those ones in particular.) I’ll be posting an interview with Katrin from MobileActive over at NetSquared early this evening hopefully. But first I’ve got to go walk the dog and listen to a podcast.
Super bonus link-o-rama: speaking of podcasts, check out this excellent one with 25-year marketing pro Sally Falkow on the power and pace of RSS and general web 2.0 adoption in the corporate world. She’s more dismayed about peoples’ reaction than I expected – she’s totally on board her self. Interesting stuff.
Mike Arrington of Tech Crunch on pitching bloggers
Listening to a low-audio-quality, high-value podcast interview with Mike Arrington of tech review super-blog Tech Crunch on how to promote your work to bloggers. Interview by Jeremy Pepper. Lots of good thoughts. Adding it to my archive of info on pitching bloggers. Interesting note, Arrington says that if you must use Bloglines to estimate the number of subscribers a blog has you should multiply the number there by 5 because it has 20% of the market share. That’s not what my experience has been, I see a formula more like Marnie Webb’s 2X estimate – but there’s another opinion for you.

Today is a special day
My partner and I are celebrating our second anniversary of our first kiss today. I couldn’t be happier. She’s pretty stoked too.

Off site reviews
Probably won’t have time to make any original posts here today, but should point readers two items I wrote today at Social Software.
Gizmo goes local in Europe
Cooliris delivers clickless preview of Google search results
Thought those in particular would be of interest to readers here.
I’ll be in Seattle Monday night
Curt Hopkins, head of the Committee to Protect Bloggers, and I will be in Seattle Monday night after doing some client work together. If anyone would like to say hi, we’ll be at the Rendezvous at 8 PM. I’ll be wearing a red baseball cap with the letter B on it.

I don’t usually post pics here at all, but…

That’s me and my new buddy and Net Squared co-worker Billy Bicket at the recent NTEN conference in Seattle. I just thought this picture was so adorable I had to post it. Thanks to Marnie for uploading it to Flickr.
