- Will they make it? I believe so, the Zune is a great device – even if it is a little “chunky” in comparison to other devices.
- Interesting goings-on in Moscow… Wonder what’s up.

- Found this on Techcrunch – unlimited online backup at carbonite.com
- Robert Scoble talks about amature photojournalists and their rise on Flickr and other photo sharing services.
- More proof that “cell phones cause cancer” is simply an urban myth.
- Very frustrating… this piece prudently recommends limiting access to sites like YouTube and the like because of the possibility of embedding Malware inside a video. The services are too valuble to block. We need better eradication tools!
- Very interesting to see the rise of new mobile media. D7TV is creating original works designed specifically for mobile devices. Super cool.
GigaOM » Spam is sucking life out of Email
I agree with Om on this, as spam keeps growing in proportion to emails sent, we need a new way to send email.
A new mechanism to verify the sender, to quickly blacklist and abolish spam and other erroneous messages needs to be created and implemented. The existing email protocols don’t have anything within the messaging sending/receiving structure to validate a message.
Who’s up for the challenge!?!

Micro Persuasion: Virtual News at Seven
Super cool – a real newscast delivered by a virtual news crew. This does have tremendous applications in the future as the technology develops and matures.
Steve Rubel gives a nice perspective and asks one hard question as to how this will impact existing PR pros.
The key question that runs through my mind is this. If a virtual reporter can report the news in a compelling way and it’s all all automated, what does that mean for PR professionals?
What interests me is if this type of news delivery vehicle does become viable, can we finally get the news without the presenters political take on the topic? That would be a great service to everyone – strait news, no spin by the over-paid hack reading the script. Of course, a virtual environment such as this could also be programmed to present in a certain way – and the news is only as accurate as the source it comes from. More to think about on how reliable this system could be.
Still, I find it refreshing and new – hope to use something like this some day. Read more at Micro Persuasion: Virtual News at Seven
Searching for James Kim | CNET News.com
I’ve been following the saga of the Kim family for nearly a week. Its hard to believe in this day and age that any of us can get so thoroughly lost.
The news of the rescue of Kati Kim and her children brings hope that the family will be reunited soon. As of late afternoon, the rescue teams believe James Kim is still alive and that they are getting close.
For more detailed news CNET News.com has a roundup of stories from Dec. 5th surrounding the search.
