Comment from Scripting news say's it all -lest we forget joe_rady (joe_rady) 3 hours ago in Rick Warren is over the top (Scripting News) on Scripting News As i've said many times before, maybe in todays world it takes a german to spot the nazi, because we know them when we see them. And this Warren guy clearly is! as for "embracing" him in the inauguration: freedom of speech is one thing: offering them a platform and an endorsement is another. Martin Niemöller put it clearly like this: First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out- because I was not a communist; Then they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out- because I was not a socialist; Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out- because I was not a trade unionist; Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out- because I was not a Jew; Then they came for me- and there was no one left to speak out for me.

The WSJ reports that the Republicans will have press events in Denver during the Democratic Convention. They even say that the Republicans have found a loophole that allows them access to the floor of the convention. This is not cool. Here's the relevant quote from the WSJ piece: "Some Republicans will do interviews on the sets of television networks operating in the Pepsi Center, meaning they and the staff escorting them will have access to the site." At some point Obama and the Democrats are going to have to fight back, and it better be soon. McCain's involvement in corruption should be handled in a gloves-off way. Wes Clark's statement that being shot down and imprisoned, while sad is in fact not a qualification for President. The age issue ought to be brought up in a personal way -- related to McCain's stumbles and appearance. Question his mental ability, and how it's not going to get better as McCain ages. Question his health, he's a cancer survivor

I find a few people that I follow have " Gusto !" Guy Kawasaki Fred Wilson Gothan Gal Frank Eliason Chris Brogan Seth Godin Louis Gray.

[Talmud ] In my reads I find Dave Winer in the top slot as King Of Content Creation with Gusto ! I personally have only talked with Chris Brogan so I have to view the others as I read them ! For years I have been a student of General Semantics : Advocates of General Semantics view it as a form of mental hygiene that enables practitioners to avoid ideational traps built into natural language and "common sense" assumptions, thereby enabling practitioners to think more clearly and effectively. General Semantics thus shares some concerns with psychology but some do not consider it specifically as a therapeutic system, evaluating it as more focused on enhancing the abilities of normal individuals than curing pathology. This post What made the Mac different Saturday, January 24, 2009 by Dave Winer. Is a great read and is a nice complement to Guy Kawasaki ! The people who I have mentioned above will be the driving force behind what many have called Social Media ! At 72 years old I was brought up on the old media and am afraid it is as dead As Custer ! I watch with saddness as it shuffes off the mortal coil ! Mortal coil is a poetic term that means the troubles of daily life and the strife and suffering of the world. It is used in the sense of a burden to be carried or abandoned, most famously in the phrase "shuffle[d] off this mortal coil" from Shakespeare's Hamlet. I once comm

I have found to date a few solid efforts in the application category which I use ! Zemanta Twitter Adaptive Blue Glue Mac Journal and Evernote ! Louis Gray as well as Dave Winer http://www.scripting.com/ both give in my opinion the most honest and astute product reviews ! I feel that the most promising Firefox add on is http://www.adaptiveblue.com/ and Zemanta http://www.zemanta.com/ is a work of Semantic and Technical Art ! I find myself using Nsyght a lot http://www.nsyght.com/ I may not be the average internet user since I am 72 years old with little or no Tech knowledge, if it is not easy to use I don't use it ! I have found to use Twitter I only follow a few people ! Fred Wilson.Vc Louis Gray Dave Winer Chris Brogan Andrew Badera Guy Kawasaki Frank Eliason and Jay Rosen ! I also read Mr Rosen's blog PRESSTHINK One of my Favorite blogs is http://sethgodin.typepad.com/ The Creator Of Squidoo and blogs by people mentioned above ! Micro Blogging is hard for me to use since I live in a world of complete thoughts some times it reminds me of New Age Music no beginning no end just a middle part . Twitter does give me data but I am not overly interested in Social Media or Tech and wish they would create other streams with the application Like A stream for Literature Art etc ! Oh Yes I Follow Steve Ruble and Approve of his Messages-http://www.micropersuasion.com/ MarshalSandler.com is a playground of ideas, introductions, and synergies. Marshal exhibits a blogging style that is less about tamping out his thoughts and more about the juggling, rearranging, juxtaposing, and syndicating of the content of other people and companies - a communications cubism of sorts. There's no room for crap, but there is plenty of room for friendly people with interesting ideas. Marshal's day is the search for new technologies,

Making Something From Nothing This may be on of the best post's of the new year ! From Mr Fred Wilson "That's a fundamental difference and we cannot ever lose sight of this fact. Nothing costs nothing. We don't have to pay for our ideas, imagination, and hard work we put into turning nothing into something. Well to be exact, the entrepreneur doesn't have to pay for any of those things. The VC does pay for those things and gets a piece of the ride from nothing to something as a result.!" January 1, 2009 Fred Wilson Add to it this look up article from Dave Winer on helping friend feed http://www.scripting.com/ In one of my reblogs I added some thoughts regarding giving free help to Friendfeed Mr Wilson says it better nothing cost's nothing ! Me below ! "Or better yet have the Executives at Friend Feed follow the folks at Adaptive Blue these people have developed an application for all of us and they will succeed. http://www.adaptiveblue.com/!" Msandler Making Something From Nothing.

I like Louis Gray's take on the new forms of Digital Media ! First I must explain my personal position I was kicked off Friend Feed for posting a Re-blog about Edelman Digital in the Wrong Room no warning one of their employees was complaining about my post's to another employee not to me ! Another from the UK sent me a Tweet saying I was a spammer ! My account was then without addressing the issue to me deleted , this to me is ok I am still alive but this is not a tactfull way of building a business ! Obviously only Geeks who communicate with machines not people are FriendFeeds Market ! Now I am 72 years old and am sure have more business and marketing experience in my little red wagon then the folks at Friend Feed ! They have built an excellent visual application and developed a following but they have and it is obvious no marketing direction ! Understand they have right to pick and acknowledge a client base but to survive their application needs a Universal Appeal us the unwashed not a Snob Appeal !

Getting ready for the next Rove attack Monday, September 15, 2008 by Dave Winer. A picture named bozo.gif1. I totally don't trust Rove when he says that McC has gone too far. I wouldn't take the bait and pass this on as the Obama folk are doing. There's got to be a virus in there somewhere. Some devious trap that springs later in this process. Rove is like the original wingnut idiot blogger, he's been practicing so long, he's the #1 troll in the USA, something I'm sure he's proud of. I've been fending off trolls almost as long as he's been one. Permalink to this paragraph 2. I don't trust McC when he says, again, that the fundamentals of the economy are strong. The first time he said it he didn't have coaches, we were seeing the original confused Mind Of McCain, raised in politics before Gotchas were such an artform. This new McC is always on message, so when he said this, it was part of, probably the beginning of, a campaign that's about to launch. Then almost immediately you can see what it is.

The Palin vetting continues Monday, September 01, 2008 by Dave Winer. The radical right wing blogs are predictably complaining and slinging mud at people who pass on stories about McCain's choice for vice-president, but that shouldn't change a thing.  Latest: The Washington Post reports she led a 527 founded by indicted-for-corruption Senator Ted Stevens. So much for her being a reformer and maverick.   The current First Lady made some menacing remarks probably aimed at the press, indicating that she wants this VP candidate to be treated specially because she's a woman (that's how I interpret it) but the answer has to be no. If the press has any integrity, after such a challenge, they should go deeper and press harder. We, the electorate, have a right to know everything about this person who would be a 72-to-76 year old heartbeat away from the presidency. Even healthy people who are 76 have medical problems, and McCain hasn't been all that healthy.  I have so much to say about this.   I have had mud slung at me, but the people who sling it have no idea who I am.
