MySpace Scooped up for a Cool $35 Million
Specific Media just bought MySpace for $35 million. Well, I bet Newscorp is regretting this acquisition…MySpace lost $545 million dollars in value in just 6 years. Can Specific Media bring it back to life? Doubtful…
Google+ — Umm, What?
Is it just me, or is the new Google+ well….a little oversized? What EXACTLY is it? Is there a 3 sentence explanation? If not, it’s too complicated and destined to fail.
Games and Charities Missed Opportunity
I just watched the TED video by Tom Chatfield regarding 7 ways video games engage the brain [via Productivity Junkies]. Tom covered a few fascinating components that make games successful that could easily be applied to other verticals/industries. I’d encourage you to spend the 16 minutes right now and watch it.

Last night I started my trek to Saint Thomas with my buddy from high school (who runs Bankvibe.com). We didn’t quite make it there as planned today, since our 3rd flight from Charlotte to Saint Thomas (US Airways) got cancelled so we are holed up in Charlotte at Comfort Inn for the night. I’ll be there about a month working remotely. If you find yourself in the Caribbean in the next month, let me know..
