What the Heck is Tweetdecks Revenue Model....OH ACQUISITION $40 Million Dollar ACQUISITION

Apparently it looks like Tweetdeck a long favored twitter and social media management program is / could be/ rumored to be bought by twitter for 40 million. 

Twitter acquires TweetDeck By Laurie Segall @CNNMoneyTech May 24, 2011: 5:36 AM ET

One of the biggest problems with Twitter from the begining was trying to understand how to make it easily interactive. When your friends list starts hitting over 5,000 it gets a little crazy. 

In the begining of twitter we all felt much closer because we we're ahead of the curve and I met some great people. I am in the process of reconnecting with some of my original twitter contacts this week. 

If the rumors are true... Congratulations to the ever quiet tweetdeck that if I remember I actually emailed and asked about their revenue model and they quietly dodged the question lol. 

 

 

 

 

A day of cleaning followed by a day of malaise ala the edge of allergies

So basically I wanted to Fueng Shui a bit so I ended up Sunday cleaning the car and cleaning and rearranging the office. In doing so I quietly ended up fighting some allergies because of the cleaning.

I was trying to avoid taking the drugs (via Netti Pot) and I thought I was good after actually sleeping etc. However in the morning I ended up feeling hazy but it never turned into a FULL BLOWN allergy attack instead it was MALAISE BABY!

On the edge of a headache, I tried writing to some success but it wasn't brilliant by any imagination. I tried taking a nap and it seemed better but worse. 

So I am finally giving in and taking a few drugs lol. Oh well. 

After a brief repost I hope that I can get out of this FUNK Man. 

FYI: This is more of a journal hit than anything else. An attempt to get the writing juices flowing, because sometimes when you need to write something important, 

YOU JUST NEED TO WRITE.

What the Hell is a ChromeBook?

A Chromebook is a laptop computer that is designed for a web based computer lifestyle. 

WILL YOU GET ONE? ARE YOU INTERESTED? PLEASE COMMENT

Fom the site....

A Chromebook is a mobile device designed specifically for people who live on the web. With a comfortable full-sized keyboard, large display and clickable trackpad, all-day battery life, light weight, and built-in ability to connect to Wi-Fi and mobile broadband networks, Chromebooks are ideal for anytime, anywhere access to the web. They provide a faster, safer, more secure online experience for people who live on the web, without all the time-consuming, often confusing, high level of maintenance required by typical computers. -Chromebooks on Google.com

It wasn't long ago that someone I think from HP as well as others realized that Computers are fast becoming peripherals of the WEB vs. the other way around. 

Computers are fast becoming peripherals of the WEB.

The launching of the Chromebooks is the next step up on the curve of web integration.

I think this is a smart move from Google with the growing use of GOOGLE DOCS, VOICE, ANDROID this makes a ton of sense. As I've stated one of the problems I had with the pad integration in general was that the lack of a keyboard really limited the productivity of any long form writing. As it turns out a lot of people do not write that much. There are tons of entertaining things and short form productivity writings that are accomplished on PADS.

So where does the Chromebook fall... Somewhere between a netbook and a Droid phone or pad probably. I believe that the level of productivity that you'l be able to get out of this + it's price point is going to be the selling point. 

WILL I GET ONE?

Maybe especially since we work heavily on google docs it might be good for the team. 

1. As a Non-native Mac guy the ipad does not hold that much attraction for me until I reinegrate fully back into MAC. 

2. Quite interested in the Archos 9 windows 7 Dual core tabplet pc with a SSD. Since I work in windows a lot right now. 

3. Then interested in a droid and ipad so that we can see what are projects look like on these formats.

The iphone changed the smartphone market followed by ipad. In the interim googles Android quickly grabbed hold while as you know Palm tried and failed to keep up. Blackberry continues to fight back and has ton of loyal followers so I don't see them losing at any great length

Taking away a problem from the Subconcious Mind creates more Productivity

One of the challenges of being an entrepreneurial creative is an overwhelming backlog of worthy half-paid and non-paid projects. This challenge is not an uncommon situation as I have talked to several other entrepreneurs that are in the same boat. 

We are essentially stuck in a situation where you've got PAID projects, half-paid projects and unpaid projects. The challenge is of time. I found myself trying to burn the candle on both ends and the middle and it cost me my health. I am not even mentioning the lack of social life at this time. 

I recently had editors block which can the same as writers block. I just could'nt wrap my head around a project. I recently solved this by taking away a half paid / non-paid assignment. This was a self-assigned project that would have led to great connections and possible clients but when we got right down to it, we crossed it off the list. 

As soon as the decision was made I was able to remove some editors block and get a few things done. We've talked before about the power of the subconcious mind and it's need to solve problems. Too many problems to solve can cause some serious problems.

I have talked to other entrepreneurs that have the same problem with money. No money in the account or no obvious immediate source of income causes creative Blocks. 

I saw the same thing happen when I was working in the debt industry. It was amazing to see the relief that people got when someone else as taking on the responsibility of talking to to collectors allowing them to refocus on making money and being productive vs. debt.

WHAT'S THE LESSON?

If your BLOCKED then look at what problems your trying to solve. Can you cross one off the list?

Which projects are due and then choose to focus more on one than the other. Find and discover a way to refocus your power. 

a. Throw away the distractions. Turn off social media, email, phone, cell and just look at the project. 

b. If you need music try Pandora Bach, Classical or Jazz. Something without lyrics.

c. Your mind may need a follow through to see an actual problem solved. Watch a movie or tv episode. Be careful not to keep watching vs. working. 

d. Handwrite out some next steps or the solution to the problem and then meditate self-hypnosis or take a nap. Wake up and power it out. 

I have often napped or slept a few hours awoken and then jumped right into the project. 

 

Blog Traffic: Bing seems to be picking up where Google left off...

Looking at a few stats recently and it seems like we've picked up a few keyword articles in BING in the same what that Google used to pick up references?

Has Google grown too big for our own GOOD?

I am intersted to see if anyone else has had a similar experience.

Juggler/Comedian David Kamatoy has been hailed as “The number one Filipino comic juggler in the world.” In addition to his rapid-fire wit and comic observations, he is perhaps best known for his signature “Plungers of Doom” routine. Rounding out the list of regulars is Matty Goldberg, a New York transplant who has parlayed a nerdy personality into a hit stand up act.
