Howard, hit me up by email if you really want help installing PhotoCrank. We did some design work for them and I wrote the Wordpress plugin.

The PC team would love if I could get their plugin on another high-profile blog like yours (and yeah, you’re blog is high profile. congrats)

Here he goes. Ben S. is about to be interviewed on CNBC calling for investigation of the S-B Fiasco.
From “Bueller…Bueller” to “Bernanke…Bernanke”. Should be engaging.

For all the Facebook Beacon criticism, no one has really hit on the fact that Facebook already f’d up like this once before with News Feed. Remember the 1 m+ anti-News Feed group and Zuckerberg’s heart felt letter to users: “We really messed this one up…”

I guess the one thing they learned from News Feed was to keep regular users in the dark. The tech nerds had to expose this gaffe. Ask a college kid what Facebook Beacon is and you’ll get a blank stare.

we live in an upset world…

Here’s my realtime post to my twitter account: “Twitter has a serious bug. Again documented. Wonder if the vc care? Hmmm, how shall I use this knowledge? Make money or help change…”

My point is do “we” care, collectively? If you replace “twitter” with “washington mutual” and “vc” with “government”, does the outcome of my query change?

Notwithstanding 2.0, my hope for the web is for rapid, dramatic change to the way “we” think deeply, thus forcing change within time – because time is quantifiable, and the window of opportunity is closing. I reported the bug to twitter because they provide a simple means to reporting a bug.

My hope for corp’s and govn’t is null – and i’m doing everything i can, within the framework of remaining a us citizen, to revolt. I sshort WM on 10/26.

otoh, the twitter bug isn’t life threatening…
