IMHO Pinterest is becoming cool because …as far as interface is going …they are getting it right… Visual instinct over verbiage. http://gigaom.com/2012/05/30/now-pinterest-is-where-all-cool-kids-want-to-work/

Johnathan Z. Is going to chair the President’s net neutrality committee. Good choice, but he needs to get a better understanding of signatories and video/film production contracts still. That is going to be the heaviest battle. Especially with the oncoming tsunami of integrated retail contracts and multi-pipe diversification of interface/hypervideo/hyper sound.

A number of years ago, I trimmed back the number of friends I had on Facebook. You can say, I turned FB into Path before there was a Path :)
This morning I went through my Facebook News Feed.
The vast majority (well over 70%) of posts came from third party apps. And a signficant percentage of…
This is a huge piece of why I want Path as our number one social tool embedded and...
Why my work inventing hyv layering, storycube structures, integrated retail,and multi-pipe sync…for the last 10yrs. Is that important. > RT @wired: Broadcasters Warn of Apocalypse in Dish’s Ad-Skipping Service http://t.co/A72o6YM3
Filming cowboys… My job (shakes head with ecstatic smile) can’t wait to get paid for it sometime soon. ; )

Moonrise Kingdom highest limited film screen debut ever. http://www.indiewire.com/article/specialty-box-office-kingdom-comes-with-huge-friday-numbers-intouchables-also-strong
I think the math of AR/hypervideo and audio layering is hugely about locational, realistic, green-screen filming of “pieces” or artifacts. Much more difficult than the issues with display.

It’s just going to get messier and messier until somebody ; ) figures out a new model. Heh heh http://gigaom.com/video/iron-sky-distributor-threatens-file-sharers-with-lawsuits/

Nobody does ‘one foot in front of the other’, ‘brick by brick’ like I have done now with many teams /teammates building for 12 years. When you don’t have tons of cash…the greatest, most innovative things in our history were built with tenacity, persistence, a little (a lot) bit of crazy, myopic will, time and one little piece on top of, behind, in front of,...

If people switch to personal interactive clouds ..where they can share by event and privately…with virtual foyers… Facebook becomes irrelevant because the model completely changes.

Netflix’ big problem. They can’t seem to take the opportunity they were given. Convergence.
They are hiring and promoting the wrong people. They need people who understand production systems and integrated retail …not acquisition and how to get their career up the development ladder of corporate media.
They need to change to use of the converged model…which means they need to jump on a new...
