U2 on YouTube

I loved watching them backstage and walk out. Also the drummer starting out playing 1st off was great. No doubt this is the beginning of more interesting things on YouTube.

Some reason

The best reasons for Google to buy Twitter speculation:

- Keep it away from Microsoft and Yahoo
- Help it's mobile phone offering (as big as twitter is there are still lots of people not using it - Android could make it more interesting)...
- It's Hot, and Google is the poster child now for that on the internet.

The best reasons not to buy Twitter speculations:

- Not making enough revenue (though Google has the hardware infrastructure to bring down costs and scale it up...)
- Twitter is better as an Independent. Acting as a partner will continue to allow Twitter to grow.
- There is no reason to buy it, just make your own version of it... (Isnt this just an instant messenger flavor? - targeted at phones).
- With Wave on the horizon maybe just embrace it while moving towards a new jungle.

Thoughts:
It's a good problem to have with lots of money at stake. If Google keeps moving towards innovation it doesnt really matter in the long run if they own it or not. Is it good to own everything "cool" ? (Is that their business model?)

Slipper Slope

Forcing people to take shots against their will seems like a really bad idea. This is still America, the home of the free, right?

ENFP - things to watch out for

This article was very interesting. As an ENFP I am surprised to find out so much about myself that I take for granted. I especially like the insights that help me understand better my weaknesses:

" At times, ENFPs find themselves interpreting events in terms of another's "hidden motive," giving special meaning to words or actions. This interpretation tends to be negative and, more often than not, inaccurately negative. In the process, an ENFP may find that he or she has introduced an unnecessary, toxic element into the relationship."

I think I have tried to give too much credit to "hidden motives and made mistakes that way.

Also I liked:
"They need also to discipline themselves against beginning too many projects and making commitments to too many people."

My lesson in making commitments last week was running a 6 hour marathon I was unprepared for to teach myself a lesson in not making commitments if at all possible. I hope that effort will pay off.

I really like these Personas

After a few years you need a quick way to change the skin of an application, Personas for Firefox is well worth the quick install.
