I got back a few days ago from my terrific holiday break!!!  Really, I don&#8217;t think it could have been better!  Friends, Family, Fun&#8230; what more could I ask for (especially when stuck in the cold midwest)?<\/p>\n<p>So over break and a few weeks prior as well, I was working on some things with <a href=\"http:\/\/napsterization.org\">Mary Hodder<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wired.com\/news\/culture\/0,1284,65890,00.html\">Wired proclaimed &#8220;Digital Queen&#8221;<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/onlisareinsradar.com\/\">Lisa Rein<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/lisarein.com\/\">MobileGirl proclaimed &#8220;Video Queen&#8221;<\/a>. Hmmmmm&#8230; Social communities, video, and mobile stuff &#8230; what a great idea!  Anyways, I just wanted to give a shout out to them as being really GREAT to work with!<\/p>\n<p>As well, I was also looking more closely at some of the photo sites.  I hadn&#8217;t played with <a href=\"http:\/\/buzznet.com\">BuzzNet<\/a> in a little while and I was really impressed!  They have done some really great stuff recently and opened up their whole API.  While <a href=\"http:\/\/flickr.com\">Flickr<\/a> still has a lot more functionality and power, Buzznet is pretty and simple.  They have done a nice job on the interface and made things extremely easy to use!  Which means they are drawing a nice well rounded audience. With the addition of Buzzword (community tagging) im excited to see what else comes from it. (I had the brief pleasure of meeting the founders <a href=\"http:\/\/marc.buzznet.com\/user\/?id=778111\">Marc Brown<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/anthony.buzznet.com\/user\/\">Anthony Batt<\/a> at a Blogging conference over the summer&#8230; so &#8220;Well done guys!&#8221;)<\/p>\n<p>Quotes of the day:<br \/>\n(from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thefeature.com\/article?articleid=101316&amp;ref=5048004\">the Feature<\/a>)<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;many operators are now finding that servicing the adult market can be difficult, as they try to strike a balance between making porn available to their users while not being viewed as pornographers.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>No way, I didn&#8217;t know that was the struggle&#8230;  UH, DAH!!!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thefeature.com\/article?articleid=101313&amp;ref=5048004\">(from a different article on the feature)<\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Throw some money at some young, creative developers to come up with some ideas and create some services that are a little more interesting than the tired &#8220;take a picture and MMS it to us, and we&#8217;ll send it out to somebody as a postcard&#8221; idea that&#8217;s still making the rounds. Find some smart, creative kids that have used MMS, and know why it&#8217;s boring and no good, then get them to come up with better ideas. &#8220;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8230; \ud83d\ude42 \ud83d\ude42 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Anita<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ok, so it&#8217;s been a bit longer than I expected since I have written anything (I think Im going to stop saying that now).
