  • RT @cdixon: Prediction: Google's Twitter killer will be lame. A few billion dollars later they buy Twitter. #

  • Google Buzz also reminds me of FriendFeed, but I have to admit that I'll prob like the GMail intergration. #
  • Just realized that the big Y! also has/had a product called Buzz http://k9.vc/9LgVPZ And now Google Buzz. Such creative product naming. #

  • RT @homecaredentist: "If it came from a plant, eat it; if it was made in a plant, don’t.” Good tip from Michael Pollan's latest book. #
  • Looks unreal, but great pics. RT @Stanford: Breathtaking HDR photos from @TreyRatcliff-led photowalk at Stanford: http://bit.ly/auYxQO #
  • Liking the new @TweetDeck v0.33.0 release. Fixes the keyboard navigation bugs I was having trouble with before. #
  • MacBook Air update: Wasn't battery, but hinge that broke. Waiting for Apple Store to get part before it can be repaired cc @BatteryGenius #
  • RT @veen: Just found this collection of iPad UI conventions pulled from frames of Apple's demo videos. So interesting. http://j.mp/daLakN #
  • Doing a start is like grad school on steroids. Ride the rollercoaster. RT @naval: Y Combinator vs. Graduate School: http://wp.me/psk70-1Vy19 #
  • lol RT @niallsmart: I'm no mad man, but I'm pretty sure the Google superbowl ad would be better if he clicked "I'm feeling lucky" somewhere. #
  • RT @martenmickos: Wonderful Inc.com article on company culture at Kayak.com: http://bit.ly/4HYGFk – – good inspiration for startups! #
  • Add Facebook to that too. RT @loic: "We check Twitter because of our fear of being left out" Seth Godin #linchpin #
  • RT @deekay It's not the responsibility of a reader to finish reading a book. It's the responsibility of the book to keep the reader engaged #

  • Another brilliant interaction design by @Intuit: Make you log in first, & then do a browser check to say that the browser is not supported. #
  • Chrome on Windows now allows for pinning tabs. That little nudge + extensions was enough for me to switch. #ChromeIsTheNewBlack. #
  • RT @dirkriehle: @manukumar Well, who'd have thought that "tea" and "party" would ever go together? Must the lamest party on earth #
  • RT @aweissman: NYT today all about financial engineering: GS/AIG… Billions won and lost and not a single innovative product developed #
  • 🙂 Agreed. RT @Padmasree: These days I am afraid to say I like *tea*. That is all. #

  • RT @marmon: The only thing worse than the terror of releasing a product is the dread of it never seeing the light of day. #
  • Scheduled appointment at Palo Alto Apple Store for "expanded battery" on MacBook Air. Now just hoping it is safe to use in the interim. #
  • Wow, my MacBook Air just let out two popping sounds & spontaneously came apart at the hinge. Swollen battery? http://twitpic.com/11u4l0 #
  • So slick. RT @newsycombinator: Window that morphs into a balcony http://bit.ly/c3LUp5 #
  • Sounds like @Google is going to have a Superbowl ad tomorrow. http://k9.vc/b9q6gs (via @ericschmidt). My guess — Nexus One. #
  • Watching FRONTLINE 'digital_nation' and feeling guilty about tweeting about it at the same time! Worth watching. http://k9.vc/9HKObs #
  • Heading over to portfolio co for demo of milestone release. Taking some food (and beer!). The team has been workin' hard! 🙂 #
  • Let me not even start about the use of #ActiveX controls to download data. @QuickBooks Online has so much potential — wasted. cc @Intuit #
  • For instance, when switching from a Balance Sheet to a P&L, @Quickbooks online resets the time period. #BadDesign cc @Intuit #
  • I know it's all little nitpicky design/UX things, but @Intuit products really frustrate me. Anyone there know what interaction design is!? #
  • RT @jowyang: I respect 17yr old @danielbru. Makes a mistake, apologizes, and like an adult, professionally runs his conference the next day. #
  • Anyone have data on how many new companies (C-corp, LLC, etc) are formed in the US every year? Or where to get that data? #lazyweb #
  • I should take a shower more often; get my best/whackiest/most creative ideas in the shower! #TMI #
  • RT @fredwilson: #startupvisa movement, we are collecting stories from immigrant founders. if you are one, please visit http://bit.ly/daqrJf #
  • #startupvisa RT @fredwilson: The Startup Visa Movement As A Case Study In "Lightweight Advocacy" http://bit.ly/c4314b #
  • I know I married right when @hanakumar asks me "Do we have any more chocolate?" at 4:00 AM! #ChocolateFiends #
  • Psyched to see a new milestone release from a @k9ventures portfolio Co on Sat. Founders said to bring Credit Card! So Ready. #RevenueFocused #
