Twitter Worth $4 Billion? 4 Reasons Why It May Be So
By David Knowles - AOL News(Dec. 1) -- Microblogging, it seems, can make megabucks. According to a report in TechCrunch, current estimates of Twitter's market value have been placed as high as $4 billion. Sources tell TechCrunch that the venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins is prepared to offer that valuation for the company, which is reportedly exploring ways to raise more capital. So how has the San Francisco-based social networking site managed to amass such a staggering price tag? Though George W. Bush may not agree with the analysis, Surge Desk explores a few prominent theories. 1. Twitter is addictive Like ...
The Kindle, Firefox, & BlackBerry Hate Barack Obama
By Michael Kraskin - Politics DailyWhile running down the difficulties Barack Hussein Obama might encounter as a presidential candidate, Jon Stewart pointed out that it would be tough to sell a candidate with a first name that sounded like "Iraq" a last name that sounded like "Osama" and a middle name that was Hussein. Well, the programmers behind Amazon's Kindle apparently were not terribly concerned with the pronunciation of the name of the most powerful man in the world. The text-to-speech function of the Kindle renders President Obama's name as something akin to the way the culturally challenged once pronounced Vietnam. As ...
Barack Obama Abandons Digg
By Michael Kraskin - Politics DailyThose of us who are obsessed with new technology, social networking and politics had a really fun time watching the Obama campaign the last two years. He had a Facebook page with over 3.5 Million friends, he announced his VP pick via text message, and we all watched as he wrestled with the fact that he might have to give up his Blackberry. So I was incredibly disappointed today to see that it turns out it was all a charade. Today, Barack Obama has officially abandoned his Digg account. The popular social bookmarking site, Digg, declares its users to be "Not active recently" after about 3 ...
Digg This Facebook President
By David Knowles - Politics DailyIt's a whole new political world, and one big reason is the rise of technology as a means for politicians to communicate with constituents. Yes, we've entered the social network era of government. Just ask Barack Obama, whose campaign picked up Howard Dean's internet ball and ran with it all the way to the White House. His massive database of over 3 million small donors obliterated traditional fundraising models, and will serve as the new paradigm. Still unconvinced that political excitement has gone viral? Have a look at the YouTube videos that have almost single-handedly ended the Senate ...
Diggs injury not serious, Diggnation breathes easier
By David J. Warner - AOL NewsThe MRI is back on Panthers linebacker Na'il Diggs, and it's not so bad. Diggs only has a sprained knee and is listed as day-to-day. When asked to comment, Kevin Rose and Alex Albrecht said, "Dude!" Reports out of Charlotte indicated that Keyshawn Johnson actually kissed the ice pack on Diggs' knee after the linebacker was helped off the field. Great. Now sick people everywhere are going to bombard Bank of America Stadium and clamor for "Keyshawn's healing lips." I half expect Kevin Rose to show up and say, "Dude, can you kiss my MacBook Pro? It's been acting kinda sketchy..."Diggs had been ...
