I just realized so far I only twittered this, but hadn’t blogged about it. To accompany TwitDir, which let’s you search all the twitter user names, I created twitterdirectory.net to specifically list the accounts that provide some kind of news service and are not Robert Scoble (to clarify: I did not create twitdir, i created […]

Sebastian
I don’t know this for sure, but when I listened to episode VII, Verse 2, of The Gang today, I figured it all out. Google Knol’s private beta doesn’t even exist. It is just one of Jason Calacanis‘ latest moves to make Jimmy Wales see that Wikipedia needs advertising on its site. (JC here, here, […]
