Down goes Frazier!

the web - The web has erupted with a wave of rumors about a new social networking service created by web giant Google. Bloggers are saying the service (which is tentatively called "Google Me") will be in direct competition with Facebook.

The rumor went viral after Digg founder Kevin Rose (@kevinrose) reportedly tweeted, "Ok, umm, huge rumor: Google to launch facebook competitor very soon "Google Me," very credible source" on June 28.

Rose has since deleted the message but others closely involved with Google have stepped in to add fuel to the rumor fire. According to TechCrunch, Former Facebook CTO Adam D'Angelo has confirmed the rumor. D'Angelo shared his thoughts on question-and-answer site Quora (a company which D'Angelo founded) saying, "Here is what I've pieced together from some reliable sources: This is not a rumor. This is a real project. There are a large number of people working on it. I am completely confident about this."

"They realized that Buzz wasn't enough and that they need to build out a full, first-class social network. They are modeling it off of Facebook."

"Unlike previous attempts (before Buzz at least), this is a high-priority project within Google.
They had assumed that Facebook's growth would slow as it grew, and that Facebook wouldn't be able to have too much leverage over them, but then it just didn't stop, and now they are really scared."

"This obviously has the potential to be huge, and Facebook needs a strong competitor. But even if Google has an amazing site in the pipeline, creating the next Facebook is going to be easier said than done," said TechCrunch's Jason Kincaid on the Google vs Facebook social networking battle.

 Search Engine Land's Greg Sterling pondered, "Will 'Google Me' Be A Worthy Facebook Challenger Or Will It Be DOA?" A valid question after Google's previous social networking endeavors, Google Buzz and Orkut garnered lack-luster responses and low consumer retention - especially when compared to Facebook's 400 million active user base.

Inside Facebook, readers seemed happy about the news. One user commented, "great news ..i hope google kill facebook and make the largest social media in the world." Another posted, "I hope they succeed up to a point where they provide balance. It would be unhealthy for the market for one player to be dominant and in fact that becomes like Microsoft and now Apple, but balance is good."

Search Engine Land's readers were not so optimistic about the service, "Let's face it, this will probably go the same way as Google Wave and Buzz," read one comment on the site, "Facebook is far too ingrained into everyday life that I doubt very much we will see any social networking site challenge it for some time, if ever."

When asked for comment on "Google Me" a spokesperson from Google told Relaxnews, "We do not comment on rumor or speculation."

I hope this shit is real cuz truth be told I'm getting bored with Facebook. I mean seriously, you can only creep so hard on facebook - why, with google's power and search ability shit could get outta hand. I could end up spending my whole day on the computer.....

Your kidding me, right?

You have to be fucking with me. No way this show actually has an ending. Usually to have an ending you need to have a beginning and a middle - you can't just skip right to the end. This show has been dragged out for however long - since atleast my sophomore year of high school waaaayyyy back in 2005. The Hill's is a show that reminds me of infomercials - they are always on and your just kind of bored if your watching it.

Don't get me wrong, i watched the shit outta this show and Laguna beach. I just figured it would end after its 3rd season. I also always pictured the show ending with LC getting wicked knocked up by me ofcourse, instead she goes off and does Kohl's commercials and sleeps around with that guy that was on Laguna and became a host on TRL (i could find his name in a second but its summer time, fuck research). Instead LC left the show a couple seasons ago and recently appeared in a "Got Milk?" ad. 

Maybe the whole cutting of the strings in the promo is a metaphor. Like a secret, cuz that's what a metaphor is - a secret !

Turn it up, bro !!

If you were to have 128 songs, over 8.4 hours, and 467.2 MB worth of music stored on your computer you think it would be a good band, right?

As i sit on this strangers computer and snoop through his iTunes for some dec music i came across an absolute treasure chest of tunes. Beatles? Nope. Stones? Nope. fackin Kid Rock? Naw.

Backstreet Boys. YUP.

Black & Blue, Backstreet Boys, Backstreet's Back (Germany), The Hits - Chapter One, Millennium, Never Gone, Unbreakable, and one last single called "backstreet boys are gay" which is probably this guys hate anthem.

Should all the CD's and DVD's in the world be put next to a giant magnet tomorrow and all data destroyed rest easy knowing that this computer would become the holy grail to all BSB fans (if there are any left who aren't 16 year old broads). I can't wait till this guy gets his computer back and goes onto itunes and clicks his Recently played playlist cuz he'd see straight up these songs in this exact order:

1. I want it that way
2. I want it that way
3. I want it that way (Germany)
4. Everybody (Backstreet's Back)
5. the sound of me kissing every boy in my general area.

Harry, hurry hurry hurry hurryhurry

I knew this would become a big deal - like a 1.5 million barrels a day type big deal. Like a Oval office address type big deal. Like people are out of the job big deal.

To quote Jay Leno, "you know its bad when water on fire is a good thing".

I know one day this will eventually end - it has too.. BP is a British owned company and if theres one thing i know about the brits' its that if you throw shit into the sea it really pisses them off....... ?

Only in Connecticut

The parents of a 1-year-old and a 10-year-old from Dedham and Milton were arraigned today on child-endangerment charges after police say they left the children alone in a car in a Foxwoods Resort Casino parking garage while they were inside gambling. Edwine Louissaint, 33, of Presidents Way in Dedham, and David Augustin, 34, of Brook Road in Milton, are charged with risk of injury to a child, leaving a child unsupervised in a motor vehicle, and second-degree reckless endangerment in the Thursday incident, said Lieutenant Paul Vance, chief spokesman for the Connecticut State Police.

Augustin, who was arraigned in New London Superior Court today, is being held on $40,000 bond. Louissaint, also arraigned, was released after being held on $25,000 bond as long as she promised to reappear, court officials said.

The case was continued until June 22, according to a court clerk. Neither defendant entered a plea, the clerk said.The couple's children were turned over to the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families, police said. There was no explanation for why the parents have separate addresses. Vance said video surveillance and gambling records showed Augustin and Louissaint were in the resort casino for well over an hour. State Police from Troop E in Montville were summoned to the Grand Pequot VIP garage after receiving a report that the children had been left in there, officials said. "We have a very strict law relative to this sort of thing,'' Vance said. "People think they can leave their kids in hotel rooms or otherwise unattended. But that is a big no-no in Connecticut."

 
The state that never ceases to amazing me but is always pissing me off.
