The Party of "No"
Technorati and Me
Technorati is indexing me again! They had to make a code change to fix the problem with my blog getting stuck in their queue. Kudos to Eric M. and the guys at GetSatisfaction.com where they have "community powered support for Technorati".
Well, they're "sorta, kinda" indexing me anyway. It's on a 24 hour tape delay or something. So I never get picked up by Memeorandum because they pull from Technorati and Technorati has stuff I posted yesterday listed as my latest blog entry. And that's old news to Memeorandum.
Wankers.

If you can't beat em, take their ad money
In what has got to be a winning business strategy Comcast cable TV will begin running ads for Verizon FiOS.
Starting in the fall, Comcast's advertising sales division, Comcast Spotlight, will sell local and regional ads known as spot cable for Verizon.
I guess Comcast figures that if they can't keep the subscribers they might as well snag a few bucks from the guys who are wooing them away.
The Verizon ads should be interesting to see. "Does your cable service suck? Can't get a rep on the phone who speaks English? Is your internet speed slower than molasses? Switch to FiOS!"
I dunno, it seems counter-intuitive to me, but maybe that's why I'm not
a highly paid cable TV executive.
