Here are my weekly notes:
- Sharon and I went to see Up in 3D this weekend. I really enjoyed it! Makes me want to watch G-Force (the guinea pig one) in 3D now too. Oh, and Toy Story 3!
- I’ve written about bit.ly before, so it was no surprise to me to hear that they’re working on some impressive things.
- From Darren: The First Ever Video on YouTube.
- Flickr announced integration with Twitter earlier this week. I like their short URL: http://www.flic.kr.
- The two top teams joined forces and have won the Netflix Prize! Cool!
- My favorite website monitoring service, Pingdom, has added a free account level!
- Must-read at BoingBoing: Michael Jackson and the “Zombieconomy”
- Twitter has finally applied for a trademark on the term “tweet”.
I saw the tweet trademark application on the uspto site a couple of weeks ago.
The horse has bolted a little now. The application and/or enforcement of it should probably fail now because it is already out there in use by others.
Yeah I don’t see how they’re going to enforce it.
Wasn’t the 3d in Up good!?
I wasn’t expecting much, remembering old-school 3d being kinda annoying, but this was very well done. Subtle when it needed to be, but punchy when it was right. Good job Disney!
Yeah I really liked it! I’m hopeful that 3D technology is now here to stay.
