  I'm still coming down from my Apple sugar rush from yesterday, so one more post on the impacts of the multimedia-rich "One More Thing..." announcement Steve Jobs gave.

• Pandora - good as advertised (metaphorically speaking)

  I just tried out the new Pandora service, which finally went live Monday and at long last came out of its invite-only shell. The service hosts your own custom radio shows (up to 100, I think) and shares them with friends. It's a really neat idea, bridging...

• The blog now officially a pillar of effective web marketing

  I'm stoked to see that people not directly in tech are realizing the importance of blogs as a means of effective web marketing .

• It's Google's world, and we're all just squirrels

  Damn, Google acquired Android for its push into the mobile market , right on the heels of a similar acquisition of DodgeBall. I so wanna work there. Posted Aug 19 2005, 10:55 AM by guam-aspdev with | with no comments Filed under: Web, Marketing, Wireless/mobile

• Porn star podcasting: the next killer app?

  Ever the marketer, I'm always on the hunt for the next big thing. As a software developer, I'm always eager to build the damn thing myself. And as a proud podcaster, I'm always wondering who's going to conceive a universally-applicable business model...

  Tim Haines has put together a really good idea , a "blogversation" in which he's calling on the blogosphere to debate the merits of AJAX within an e-commerce environment.

  I ran across a neat little inserted ad when perusing Amazon just now for the new T-Mobile Sidekick II . That's one nice-ass digital device. Same applies for the latest BlackBerry devices .

• One scary-ass product name

  I love this company's lemon tea, but I just found this off their site...this really scares me as a product name - especially coming from China. I'm not sure if this is some cultural thing, maybe like a drink meant to protect one from dangerous diseases...
