Inauguration Done - in Legoland

I found this fascinating quote today:

The massive project features more than a thousand mini-figures, including President-elect Barack Obama and his family, vice president-elect Joe Biden, his wife Jill, George and Laura Bush, Dick and Lynn Cheney, and George Bush Sr and Barbara Bush.”

I found this fascinating quote today:

• 
  

Status on steroids: If you’ve set up your Yahoo! Profiles page, you’ve been reaping the benefits of Yahoo!’s new social capabilities. Today, Yahoo! Profiles ventures beyond these purple walls to include updates from more than 20 sites. That means that you can now see when a contact posts a new review on Yelp, uploads to SmugMug, uploads a video to YouTube, blogs on Blogger, rates a song on Pandora, or tweets on Twitter. The world’s getting smaller as we speak. More here.




Piping hot news: What do you get when you combine Yahoo! News with Twitter? A breaking news search engine. Yahoo! engineer Vik Singh took his brainchild, Yahoo! BOSS (or Build Your Own Search Service), and put it to use to create what he calls TweetNews. It’s a clever mashup that takes stories on Yahoo! News and combines them with topics that are spiking on Twitter — a new way to find news that is both timely and important. And another great marriage of traditional and social media. Give it a whirl. More here and here.

Roll Yer Own Web

I found this fascinating quote today:

One of the great things about the web today is that you can choose from hundreds of services that will host your blogs, lifestreams, photos, videos, and music. One disadvantage of this, however, is that you typically have very little control over the actual experience. You can't, for example, make changes to themes on Wordpress.com or customize the way your pictures are shown on Flickr. However, thanks to a large number of open source projects, you could do all of this if you hosted your own blog, photo gallery, or mixtape service. In this post, we will show you how to do that and which services we like to run on our own domains.readwriteweb, ReadWriteWeb, Jan 2009

Of Tech and Rock Stars

I found this fascinating quote today:

I predict Apple will do fine without Steve Jobs, whether he comes back in June, later, or not at all. They have great product lines, teams and business processes to continue executing. No doubt losing someone of Jobs' vision is difficult, but nobody is irreplaceable. In fact, having Jobs step away may be the best thing for the company in the long term. No company can succeed with such reliance on one person. It will be a very interesting process to watch unfold.readwriteweb, ReadWriteWeb, Jan 2009

From PRNewswire: Nickelodeon Plans First-Ever Coverage of The Presidential Inauguration

Image via WikipediaNickelodeon Plans First-Ever Coverage of The Presidential Inauguration

Culminating its unprecedented year-long Kids Pick the President (KPP) campaign--which encompassed a first-ever "Kids' Primary"; coverage of the political conventions; and the biggest "Kids Vote" in the network's history--Nickelodeon, in another first, will feature coverage of the historic presidential inauguration starting Monday, Jan. 19, at 4 p.m. ET/PT. KPP Election Connection Team correspondents -- Lily Collins, JJ and Pick Boy -- will report on the political celebration from Washington, D.C. in a series of pre-taped interstitials highlighting the historic Inauguration Day and the celebrations leading up to it.

Additionally, on Inauguration Day -- Tuesday, Jan. 20 -- at 8 p.m., vignettes featuring footage of the President-Elect's Oath of Office, will air on Nickelodeon, The N and Nicktoons Networks. Interstitials will continue to air on Nickelodeon through Jan. 31 and will highlight the parade down Pennsylvania Avenue; President-Elect Obama's arrival at the White House; his inauguration speech; and more.

"We decided to continue the 2008 Kids Pick the President campaign through the inauguration in order to give kids the complete presidential election experience," said Marva Smalls, Executive Vice President, Public Affairs, Nickelodeon Kids and Family Group. "The enormous turn out for the first kids' primary and the 'Kids' Vote' has shown the magnitude of kids' interest in this election. We want to sustain that enthusiasm by giving them a front row seat to this historic day."
