I think this is a bad idea

Yes, merging the address bar and navigation are a point of concern. It is not just link farms based on mispellings that should be worried but all brand owners...

The merging of the address bar and search bar gives Google too much control over navigation. It separates companies and website operators from their website addresses and brands.

Companies spend heavily to establish and maintain brands. Google has just imposed itself between consumers and businesses. Direct navigation has now become proprietary search, whereby Google uses its discretion to filter out web addresses and domains that it deems less relevant.

I object and I

The difference in TechCrunch50 and Demo is that Demo charges $18,500 for the company to present. TechCrunch50 does not charge the company, only the attendees.

That's the most sensible blog post I have read so far on the subject.

I might try it on one of my web-sites, even though I do not use Google adsense right now.

Good post if you get money early you will have to get most of the business to the VC's and will have to do what they say. Its better to build slowly and own more of your business after you are noticed the VC's may come to you this is when you'll get the best deal.

I agree with the above limitations and may have another one...when I type a word and make a spelling mistake (big fingers) I can't seem to place the cursor in the middle of the word and correct the mistake. I have to place the cursor at the end of the word and delete back to the mistake and type again. This seems to be a huge waste of time and is functionality that should be included in a 'touch screen' iPhone Thoughts? Am I missing something?

Thanks Anna :-)

Tom-

Another reason to look forward to Fridays!

Hi Tom

I agree that a PR agency needs to know the tools before they can use them for clients.

I started blogging back in 2003 and I'm still going. I do well with teaching others to blog.

In frustration I developed a small newsroom with rss feeds in 2004 because I could not find one at that time that did exaclty what I wanted. Now PRESSfeed is used by companies and other agencies.

I have been interested in podcasting but had not done it much myself, so conse

Hope you had a good trip to Japan. I wonder if you have seen the website www.livenewscameras.com

Do you know of any Japanese networks that are streaming live news coverage?

Don, are you talking about innovation across sectors are just in the telco/Ribbit niche?

Ms Estrin is not seeing what I'm seeing. I'm seeing an innovation rebirth happening on a scale as big as any ever seen in Silicon Valley. It's true it may not look the same as the others - may not be as visible on the surface or share the same characteristics or metrics as the others - but in terms of rapid and significant global impact, this wave will out do them all. No question.

Innovation is still accelerating and I think we are again at an inflection point. Hold on, the brakes a

Pardon the pun, but I don't think that Cox would have the balls.

PR is not synonymous with “publicist”

JL: Yes, that is exactly why I didn't want to use "Social media release" because it was clear that "Social Media" like "Green" was part of a current fad/fashion and thus worth staying away from. That's why I wanted "New media release" or just "media release" because these are neutral terms - they don't snag on our social fabric.

Although I found no supporters for my position I was very calm and centered because I knew I would be vindicated ;-)
And it turns out sooner than late

Blame the marketers. Since when did "social" and "business" mix? This sounds similar to all the things that are labeled "green" this and "green" that...

I am disppointed with the British efforts, in this field, they can't compete with eastern european countries. Duirng the war years the UK was a poineer in technology and programming skills, now it is a poor problem solving contestant.
