Seriously trivial thoughts
The Spice Girls announced a reunion tour with all of the original members including Ginger Spice (aka Geri). I WANNABE there! Posh is looking hot, but the others look kinda frumpy. Well, they’ve got 5 months to get back to the gym. Los Angeles, Dec. 7 Las Vegas, Dec. 8 New York, Dec. 11 London, …

I’m really liking the new Creative Zen Wav. Appears to be a slimmer, but longer version of the Zen V. Hope they offer in larger capacity than 2GB. I’d love to have a Zen with speakers for listening to podcasts. Here’s a link to the Engadget post.

There’s only two ways for your startup to make it to our blog: 1) Any of our registered readers submitted it 2) Our editorial team found your company through our …
Leo Leporte noisy move from Twitter to Jaiku, started the great Twitter vs Jaiku debate. Thousands were faced with the question of how to leave all their friends or just monitor and use both sites. TwitKu.com, the Twitter+Jaiku mashup, keep the decision from being mandatory. There is now a new mobile version at http://twitku.com/m, so …
