Amazon Grocery - How'd I Miss This?
Wednesday, February 20, 2008
I walked through the living room just as a PBS show my child was watching ended, and I saw that there was some message about Amazon Grocery. I had no idea there was such a thing, so so course I had to go check it out. And guess what? As you might think, it works just like Amazon but for groceries. Right down to pairing items for added savings, suggestions based on what you've purchased, and of course... wish lists!
My favorite part though was that it not only has Rice Krispies Treats filed under "breakfast bars" but it pairs them with Slim Jim's for added savings. Hell yea!

Super Tuesday Fun, Twitter Style
Tuesday, February 05, 2008
Someone over at Twitter has created a Google Maps mashup to display "Super Tuesday" related messages on a map as they come in. A little like Twittervision, only filtered.Labels: twitter

The Bright and Shiny
Tech Crunch reports on a new eMarketer article saying that podcast are "taking off (again)." The funny thing is, that's not what it says. It simply reports on the steady and continued growth in podcast advertising that is expected to reach $435M by 2012. The market itself has seen nothing but constant growth.
It hasn't been, however, bright and shiny. Just as quickly as it hit the scene, podcasting moved on to be an industry... a media market. The hype died, but the industry grew (thanks mostly to the major media outlets according to eMarketer). As someone that's tried very hard to raise additional capital for their podcasting endeavor, I can tell you that it doesn't matter. Its a business now, and no longer very bright and shiny, and that means that most investors these days just aren't interested.Labels: advertising, emarketing, podcast, Podcast Ready, podcasting, tech crunch
