The title implies I’m making fun of my hometown website - and i kinda am - though I’m actually quite impressed. The site is more well organized than it’s former, bland counterparts [1998, 2000) though I wouldn’t go so far as to call the appearance “clean” like the NYTimes.

The ability to ‘thumbs up’ articles is nice… but for some authors (I’m talking about you, Ben Hamilton) a ‘thumbs down’ could come in quite useful. Comments under the articles? Yes, please. You’re begging for post-game online commentary battles between rival schools.

The kicker: social network-integrated. Yes, you can create your own DME profile. I did.

Nice to see more of you have joined. Yes, I’m on it. Yes, it’s still a little odd to me, but so was Twitter and now I’m addicted to Twitter.

Join. Link it to your Twitter. Be careful that you don’t over share… it’s annoying, I’ve done it, accidentally won a badge for it.

Chelsea sent me this site earlier and I can’t stop clicking.

The ad in the upper right hand corner has been freaking me out for a while. I a back-n-forth email session with some friends yesterday, someone else voiced their concern as well.

Her eye makeup is way too dark, and her hair way too light.

The weird thing: it doesn’t link to anything.

Thanks to all who participated in Tuesday’s Twitter extravaganza involving the hash tag: #jasperrumors (Jasper Rumors).

To follow past and future discussions - or to participate - simply search #jasperrumors on Twitter.

Received my advance copy of Delivering Happiness. The book is authored by Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh, one of the most successful dot-coms of the last decade.

The book is set for release on June 7. I’ll be peeling through it over the next few days. Hope to have a review up in the next couple of weeks.

It has been a while since I’ve linked to my favorite things from one of my favorite sites.

I love blogs. Good blogs. When I find good blogs, I love to learn from them and share them.

FlyThroughOurWindow.com is a website run by a Southern mother who seems to spend her days making pastries with her three unbelievably adorable children.

Just an FYI, Yahoo Sports Fourth Place Medal is a fantastic blog to follow throughout the Vancouver Olympics.

Mentioned this before, but important things need reminding. After my computer was stolen a couple of years ago, I began saving my files with Carbonite.

Carbonite automatically updates your computer files, no matter how you’ve changed them since your last automatic backup. If your computer hard drive ever fries, is lost, or is stolen, all your files are saved at Carbonite. Click one button and it puts everything back in place as if nothing ever happened.

[NOTE: Carbonite didn't pay me to pimp their product. I just love it that much.]

Lord knows I love attention. So needless to say I freaked out when I saw that Robby Followell updated his website and we had 2 photos (one of us, one of our rings) from our wedding, I was happy.

Robby’s photos in general have made such a splash around the interwebs that some friends of ours in Seattle are talking to him about their wedding in Spring 2011.

The title says it all: SketchySantas.com

If you have Netflix, Food Inc is now available on Instant Queue. You won’t be disappointed.

My twitter page is a Christmas explosion. May be taking Christmas too far this year.

It’s always interesting to see how my daily website selections changes over the months and years.

In no particular order: Drudge Report for news… Huffington Post to better understand the left’s talking points will be… Seattle Times… NY Times Most Popular… Kottke… BigGoldNation for all things Southern Miss… LinkedIn… Uncrate… Twitter… Facebook…

Twitter bandwaggon’s almost full. Mississippi College joins Twitter.

Met a guy in the movie theater Friday night who has been working on Bing.com for Microsoft for the better part of the last 12 months. He was super excited (I would say too excited) about today’s debut.

Do yourself a favor and “Bing yourself” to see what it can produce.

For those who are interested, I have created an MC Communications Alumni group on LinkedIn. Feel free to connect personally, or if you have not done so already, create an account download star trek the wrath of khan dvd .

More and more of you have jumped on the Twitter bandwagon. Feel free to add yours truly and receive the blog post updates via Twitter during the day.

Also, feel free to add your Twitter page to the comments section (even if you’ve added it before).

Brilliant piece on just who the heck edits Wikipedia…

“…it turns out over 50% of all the edits are done by just .7% of the users … 524 people. … And in fact the most active 2%, which is 1400 people, have done 73.4% of all the edits.”
