CB: I think the downside of the Internet is that speaking-or writing-has become the point in and of itself. I’m of the opinion that it’s okay to be silent, to not speak if you don’t have anything to say. Someone was talking to me the other day about her teenage daughter who is very creative. Now, to become a painter or a sculptor or a graphic designer is quite an isolated way to spend your life. But this girl’s passion, she said to her mother the other day, was being with her friends, and she said there’s this sense that she doesn’t exist without the other people there. It seems like people increasingly just can’t be by themselves because they’re so used to having an epicenter on the Internet that actually exists for other people. Until someone clicks onto your Facebook page, it doesn’t mean anything.
JW: Right, you don’t exist.
CB: Then, suddenly you have 175 friends
hahaha

Twitter’s usage has grown immensely and from that, the questions on some user’s mind is how does the company actually generate revenue from that popularity. What is it’s revenue model? Martin states that “just because you don’t see it, doesn’t mean it isn’t there”.
Twitter had a revenue model from the beginning; their product was actually developed around the model itself....

Did I miss something?
Yar! It happened to me too! Guessing that means Track won’t be back any time soon. But hey, that’s cool right? Actually it might be a little weird because I feel like I’m differently honest in my online life… hmmm, perhaps it’s time to merge. Maybe.
PS: i totally typed this with gloves. Crazy talented.

WatchI have to say, I love Amy Poehler, which I never expected to say from the first couple of years she was on SNL. Her characters were too much for me at first; too rich and brash. But somewhere in it all maybe she calmed down or maybe she proved herself or maybe she matured… or maybe I just started to like her - regardless, I think she’s pretty awesome and I will miss her on SNL. I think...

Hulu should have the Daily Show segue into Colbert Report like it does on TV.

It may not always be so; and I say that if your lips, which I have loved, should touch another’s, and you dear strong fingers clutch his heart, as mine in time not far away; if on another’s face your sweet hair lay in such a silence as i kow, or such great writhing words as, uttering overmuch, stand helplessly before the spirit at bay;...
WatchI add one more hypothetical situation… or ‘sitch’ if you will… Has Jack, in a truly loopy and insane state (assuming this is the time frame that he was all bonkers)… Has Jack called for the court order so that Kate will run to HIM and then they will go looking for the island?
Hopefully not, I don’t like it when Jack is all douchey and stupid… alas, it is...
