So, MySpace follows LinkedIn in aping Facebook. Call this progression? I call it following the pack. MySpace needs to redefine it’s target audience. It can’t be all things to all people, else it’ll be nothing to anyone. It needs to do things right. And nix the blinky-text syndrome it suffers.
More Facebook. John Naughton on how ABC and Facebook are teaming up for the US elections by pushing ABC content onto Facebook for consumption and discussion by its members. Smart idea, though I wonder how the editoral slant of ABC’s content will wash. How does this change the game? Will politicial affiliations of members become a sore point? Will users really want breadcrumbs linking them to a political stance? Hmm..
Another SF tidbit, Eater’s SF guide. Nice blog covering new restaurants in SF.
The long and complicated history of the human gene and viruses. Fantastic stuff.
