A few other things I’ve had sitting in tabs.
Cadbury’s Creme Eggs are launching a talent contest; entries are discussed and broadcast as podcasts. The prize – a free consultation with a talent agent. I’m with Adverblog on this – looks like a ‘what’s hot’ moment.
TechCrunch has reviewed Online Feedreaders. I think I may try out Rojo and take a look at it.
Some good analysis of .com Domain Name registrations from Dennis Forbes.
April Fool stuff from ask.com (can’t be much else, despite them soliciting feedback from readers whether to wait ’til Monday):
“
This will go down as the day the momentum in the search wars shifted to Ask.com,†said Jim Lanzone, General Manager of Ask U.S. “When combined with our site’s already-powerful “Narrow Your Search†and “Expand Your Search†capabilities, “Rhyme Your Search†sets Ask.com apart with the unprecedented ability to suggest phat new ideas for your search.â€
RhymeRank was developed at a top-secret laboratory near Ask’s headquarters in Oakland, California. It is based upon the educational theory that people commit information to memory more effectively when it is phonetically consistent. Understanding this, Ask hired dozens of experts to develop algorithms capable of producing the best and most irrelevant rhymes.
