Re: HR 3997 Aftermath: the road forward

Great perspective. I guess the only downside is the Democrats would politically own the bailout.

Guess if the bailout was good for citizens that wouldn't be a bad thing...

Congress is voting again on Thursday. Make sure you tell them what you want before they vote.

Re: MySpace Cuts Down App Virality

I don't know about you, but if I'm spamming my friends too much, they'll let me know.

As long as the viral distribution is not mis-leading, I think the people can behave without MySpace setting the rules.

Gruvr - I love the idea. One experiment I'd love to try would be to let town taxpayers determine their town budget by voting online

So I actually took the time to click on an ad that might be relevant. I chose the Userplane ad.

They have an intro-page! Wow, I didn't think anyone did these anymore. I can't believe they're paying for advertising to take people to an intro-page. Who's running the show over there?!?

Woah! Outstanding compilation. Thanks!

Got one that maybe interesting.... not a traditional "development tool", but it helps comunicate developers, and non-developers and that's part of the job :)

Re: 2008/11/12/renaming-government-2/

I vote to stick with Government 2.0

It's true, "web 2.0" is tired and annoying, but that doesn't mean the "2.0" moniker shouldn't be used for other purposes.

Why is Government 2.0 good? Adding the 2.0 already means something to people... evolution, modern, social, change, updates.

If you say Government 2.0, people will get it. You say Quantum Government... not many are going to get it.

We are trying to build and launch Government 2.0; let's call it what it is.

My $.02 :)

As a bootstrapped startup, I appreciated getting your reports. I'm not panicked, but taking action to survive a long term downturn.
