Thoughts and Catches of the Week

It has been a while since I’ve posted an entry here.  I have been crazy busy traveling with work and general work.   I guess that is good, but I have to confess, many times while late at the hotel, I’ve thought about posting something, but didn’t, even though I had something to say…  I got to get better at this..

So a few I’ve collected that I thought about talking about things I can talk about:

• I have been listening to a couple of podcasts (one video and another audio)
  • TWing (This Week in Google)  podcast during my flights.  
    What a GREAT  broadcast – it is about 1 hour session, and Jeff Jarvin, Gina Trapani and Leo Laporte.  Their transcripts and how wiki / comments on the site is also great – Highly recommended.
    
    • GREAT JOB guys – thank you!.  
  • Engadget  Video Podcast –   good one from Joshua Topolsky and team.
  • CurrentGeek  Podcast  by Scott Johnson

• On Digital Good, I heard something very interesting the other day, which I guess I knew, but never actually realized:
  “For commerce, scarcity is no longer relative, and is an obsolete concept”. 
  • The context in which I heard this was the digital boxes
  • This really changes the way in we thing about commerce in general.  
• Some things I need to check:
  • Are you using Google Buzz yet?     (been using it a bit with my family, but have not opened it up yet. )
  • Check out the Google “My Social Circle”: 
  • Mashable.com
  • buzzmachine.com
  • Media Talk USA
