Hey @secretsushi! Thanks for stopping by. I'm sorry to say I haven't been able to update here in days, but I have done a few things on the Sony Electronics Community blog. Did you see this yet? http://www.sonyelectronicscommunity.com/sony/bl... Am curious to hear what you think of the stuff I'm doing there. Have always valued your point of view.

I am missing the Bay Area too. Today, maybe a little bit more than other days... but I must admit I really like San Diego and the job is awesome. When are you and @lebanesebyheart coming to visit? Wait, let me get a little furniture! --sukhjit

I went to SF today and thought of you Sukhjit. I came by your site to see if there were any updates. I hope all is well. We are having Sukjit withdrawals over here.

Chris,
Thanks for sharing what goes into your average day. Although I am not flying the friendly skies to great events and far off clients at the moment I can certainly start to relate regarding the lack of sleep and tons of projects to keep on track.

Over the last year business for me has expanded greatly and I have been able to pull together a great team that not only does great work, but has an incredible chemistry.

I am very blessed to have such incredible people in my network (I include you Chris). It keeps me trucking along each day. No two days are ever the same.

My biggest challenge at the moment now is time. I don't want to lose touch with the personal connection I have with my clients and partners so finding a viable solution that doesn't put distance between myself and my connections is tricky I have found that even the smallest of new connections can blossom into great ones if given the right time and attention. Not sure if a VA will toss a wrench into that fun and valuable process for me.

Thanks for continually sharing Chris.

Is this even working at the moment? I tried to no avail.

Congratulations Ken! This is awesome. I have grown accustomed to not only seeing you at events, but checking out all the great photos you capture during each event. Good to see more good things coming your way.

The list above is primarily sites with content. Sounds like that has been, for the most part, replaced by aggregators for you.

Hmmm. Almost 100%?

I still read Athletics Nation frequently during the baseball season, and check in on the Drudge Report on occasion, because he finds some interesting links and has amusing spin.

I would guess my top sites include FriendFeed, Google Reader, Facebook, Twitter, GMail, and beyond that... what? There are other sites? I don't even read ESPN.com all that much anymore. Google Reader finds my data, I send it to FriendFeed and keep going.

Not directly, unfortunately. Would have to get their permission first. But I can say that the uses cases so far have ranged from straight up content consumption / aggregation, to building internal media / trends analytics products.

If you want, would be happy to chat offline in more detail.

Thanks Ilya. Can you share some links at all?

Thanks for the article. I love this little gem here, "According to PostRank, fully 97 percent of all content published online doesn't have any audience engagement at all.". Do you see services using PostRank's API to help dice up and deliver fresh, relevant content under their own application anytime soon?

Congratulations Brian. You've been hustling for quite some time. It's well deserved.

I don't think going to Leopard was "Eleven Worthy". But remember back in the 8.1 to 8.5 days, all it took was a new look and feel to get us up 4 whole bumps. :)

Re: http://blog.louisgray.com/2009/08/will-mac-os-x-dial-go-all-way-to-eleven.html

secretsushi — Sat, 01 Aug 2009 17:08:27 -0000

I have been wondering the same thing of quite some time. The bump to Leopard was fairly significant, but do you think it was significant enough to have warrant the name Mac OS 11 back then?

I personally think the strongest reason why Apple has kept things the way they are right now has been due to branding. The name "Mac OS X" is well known due to its current run and anything with a big "X" in the name like that always has a strong resonance or "x-factors" in a very iconic way. Kind of like the difference between calling your OS "Windows XP" or Windows 7", no?

Apple will have to really think from both perspectives. What new UI changes, features, approaches, apps, etc... can they provide to warrant the bump and how can they continue to brand the OS the way they have for the last few years (or carry that brand equity into the new name).

I have already seen a demo of this app. It is great and I am eager to install it. Need something like this while out and about.

Thanks A. I'm sure you'll get some good info out of it. I'm sure Tamar will love the feedback, too!

Re: The Authoritative Book On Social Media Finally Published

secretsushi — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 13:45:11 -0000

Based on Jason's shining review of the book I'd say it's a steal for what I just purchased it for from Amazon. I can't wait to read it.

I love the videos with mama and papa Ghag in them! So glad your mom co-hosted that one with you. She is usually so shy. Freida's new venture is awesome. It is such a no brainer if you have ever interacted with her or watched her videos. I wish her a lot of success in it. Going to visit http://www.freidashat.com/ now.

Excellent summary and demonstration on how to use the app. I am glad the gang over there brought something different and useful to the table with this app. I know you have been a big advocate since it's private beta release. Congrats to Claire and the gang.

Thanks for the rundown. I saw it today from Drew's tweet and decided against purchasing it just yet. I am not quite sue what I want to set up to bug me that doesn't already send me an SMS or some sort of push. I thought it might be nice if I had a project processing or compressing on my computer it might come in handy. I could step away to spend my time elsewhere and get a ping when it was done converting. The "mention" notification is another biggie. The jury is still out, but I agree that the possibilities are many.

Adam, I think the benefits to using a browser version include reduced
memory usage, better heat management, CPU usage, etc. Downside would
be if your browser hung, you'd lose your current view, and have to
reboot the browser. I like TweetDeck's AIR app and have liked seeing
that grow and gain flexibility. I was less fond of Seesmic Desktop,
but the Web version is very nice.
