USA's "Psych" Social TV Campaign Scores With Fans →
_In the first 12 hours of being online, more than 13,000 unique visitors visited HashTagKiller.com. Of those visitors, 10,000 signed up for the game. At its peak Wednesday afternoon, the website was fielding over 6,000 requests a minute.
Even more impressive than the early sign-up figures — which took place entirely from social network-based promotion — is the average time users spent on the...
JP Morgan: Kindle Fire is 'noise,' won't compete... →
“The Kindle Fire’s 7-inch screen, coupled with the absence of a camera, GPS and microphone, were listed as shortcomings when compared to similar devices such as the iPad. And because the device also lacks 3G connectivity, Moskowitz believes it could be a hybrid device leading the way for a more full-featured device.”
Ironically, these happen the be the features I use less on my...

Is Instagram 2.0 less fun? →
I tend to agree with this assessment. Maybe on the more powerful iPhone 5 it will work better, but right now I think live preview of filters gets in the way.

NewsWhip mines Twitter and Facebook to find... →
The news curation and aggregation business keeps getting hotter. So far, I do most of my news consumption on my iPad, where I curate stuff that goes into my tumblr and twitter feeds. Zite is my app of choice for this - even with its quirks (could they just stop messing with the email subject length?)
Useful tools (to me) need to offer solid iPad integration, personalization, serendipity and...

One Velociraptor per Child (OVPC), a low-cost, connected velociraptor for the world’s children’s survival
Most of the nearly two billion children in the developing world have inadequate access to dinosaurs. Some receive no paleontology training at all. One in three has never even seen a dinosaur in person.

“You can turn your back on the social networks that matter in your field and be free and independent running your own site on your own domain. But increasingly that freedom is just the freedom to be ignored, the freedom to starve. We need to use social networks to get heard and this forces us into digital serfdom.”

Netflix continues to charge forward to reinvent itself as a video streaming company. They clearly understand that DVD is in the past and they need to evolve (something no media company in recent history has understood or achieved).
