A scam artist auctions off a phone on eBay but sends the winner only “photos” of it. But that’s not all, this dumb bitch then goes on Judge Judy, a show with 10 million viewers claiming that the auction clearly stipulated the auction was for the images of the phone, not the phone itself.

She should have been tasered!

Wow… just wow!

Burger King Whopper Freakout

If you have 7 minutes to spare you should watch this. I think Burger King takes capturing customer testimonials to the next level. Instead of asking what people thought of their product after ordering it, they captured their reactions when they were told that could not have it.

We have some new pictures in. Abigail is now 10 weeks old and as you can see she is sporting her “Adorable” attire.  You can find some more pictures of Abigail and family here.

I am a bit behind the times when it comes to using Google Maps, approximately 6 months or so. While at the Kelsey SES Local Conference the Director of Google Maps demonstrated a very cool feature.

You can type in an address and it will zoom you right into that location and you can look around 360 as if you’re standing there, right in the middle of the street. This is not a satellite view! The last time I played with this type of stuff was using satellite view and all you could see were roof tops of homes and buildings. This is a much different experience and is very sweet!

I chose to stand on the corner of Marine Dr, San Francisco to look at the Golden Gate Bridge.

1. Go to maps.google.com and type in an address. On the top right of the map notice an icon called “Street View”
2. Certain areas on the map should turn blue and a little orange person appears.
3. Move the orange person into any part of the blue area.

I will be attending SES Local in Los Angeles this week. If anyone who reads this blog is going to be there, look me up!

Over the past few weeks I’ve been noticing referring traffic from Streamy.com so I decided to check them out.

Holy Flock batman! There appears to be a deluge of aggregators who want to make our RSS reading / social networking life much more cohesive.

Streamy has not launched yet but they do have an interesting video demonstrating their product offering.

When I went to write this post I found I was having some difficultly describing Steamy in basic term so I read one of their blog posts “Why We Won’t, and Don’t Intend To ‘Kill’ Digg”

“We have created a system that aggregates syndicated content, channels it through your new and existing social networks, and creates a sum that is greater than its parts.”

“Basic services on the Web – messaging, “microblogging”, social networking, reading and writing – really do belong together, and we believe we are creating a sound solution.”

Perhaps you will get a better idea by watching this video.

As you can probably tell I am messing around with Flock. I have it tied into my YouTube, FaceBook, and Flickr accounts.

Just when I thought I was staying up to date with the status of my Facebook friends, Flock brings it one step closer. Now while browsing the web I get to see who’s doing what all the time. Lets see whats going on:

Barry is twittering, Richard is hungry and Rebecca is happy some one brought in food that has holes in the center.

Thats good stuff!

At the top of my browser I have Flock tied into my Flickr account. I suppose this is really narcissistic of me because almost every picture I am looking at is of me. Perhaps to get the best use of this I should have it tied into my friends Flickr account but lets be real, most of my friends are not as nice to look at and if I have to look at faces all day long while browsing the web, they might as well be mine.

In all seriousness my first impression of Flock is that it is busy, but I guess thats the point. Its a social persons browser.

I like to think I am a social person and I can see at some point this type of product would be useful once it ties in all things such as Instant Messenger, video conferencing, document sharing and Skype. Thats my idea of a kick-ass browser. Let me share, view and speak with everyone at once, in real time.

I think right now having all these “social” things in front of me while working is more of a distraction, at least for what I do on a daily basis. Then again, if your one of the few who manage to make a living by being social then I think Flock is for you.

This is a test to see if I like posting to my blog via Flock
