Here is another thing I love to see…

As I clicked through (because I could not resist) the demo of Apple’s new iPhone, I was pleasantly surprised to see that my favorite local sushi restaurant, Sushi Ran, was featured in the SMS portion of the demo.

Not only is the phone sexy (regardless of some early criticism with respect to carrier lock-in to a 2-year contract - guess that is the price you pay along with the $600.00 bones for the phone available in June), whomever worked-up the slick product demo has good taste in sushi.

As noted on TechCrunch today, among others, MyBlogLog was acquired by Yahoo.

Smart move by all.

I am curious to see how the integration goes, and hope that the application is not swallowed up by the Yahoo spider, and forgotten. I know this is one site that has taken off because the users really do use it.

As my pal Anna often likes to say “People do what they want to do, and people don’t do what they don’t want to do.” Does this mean that past behavior is the best future indicator? If so, we may not see MyBlogLog grow at the same rate it has been to date.

What I can predict, for 2007, is that we will see this social media web spin and grow, and get ’stickier’ to catch a lot of flies.

These flies being: users, new companies, advertisers, attention, innovation, energy.

Nice.

A gorgeous day here in the Bay.

Thinking of some things I like, that bring me joy.

Music.

Brussel sprouts with bacon foam at Picco.

Sundays.

Friends.

Technology.

Getting over a cold!

Happy birthday Elvis. We miss you James.

However we find each other, via Web, bumping into one another on the street, or through in-person conversation, its a good thing.

The one thing that the Agent thinks is that anytime there is expanded opportunity for community, its a good thing.
