Start the Billion Dollar Clock…

There's a rumor going around today that Twitter users are starting to see ads after a brief service outage. Could it be that Twitter is finally testing a business model? Maybe. But so far, according to most in-the-know, they haven't made a dime -- apparently by design, since they've been ...

Up is Down, Black is White, and Pantone 805 is Back

Bubble alert. Pantone 805 (bright orange, for the unitiated) is on the cover of Wired this month. The last time this color frequented the magazine was back in 2000-2002 -- the time when the Web 1.0 economy hit a little speed bump that some of you might remember. Is it mere ...

Back on Monday…

At the beginning of April, I set a goal of having a Startup 3.0 prototype ready by the end of the month. I'm close, but the blog updates here have unfortunately paid the price. New content will be coming on Cinco de Mayo -- May 5th for the gringos in the ...

Well, it was bound to happen I suppose. I saw the first signs of phishing on Facebook a few days ago. I got a note saying that someone had posted something to my "Fun Wall." I wasn't expecting anything from this particular friend, so I went to have a look. I ...
