That’s pretty sweet. I love the internet.

Being "Salmoned"
There’s an interesting phenomena I’ve been witnessing recently. It’s been dubbed Salmoning. Someone out there in the great big internet has created a very interesting AIM bot. It has various names, all ending in Salmon. What it does is, finds someone who just updated their livejournal who happens to have their AIM name listed on their profile. It grabs their username, and grabs another username from their database who is online at the time. It messages the first user and starts a conversation. When they reply, the Salmon bot relays the message to the other person, acting as a sort of middleman.
It’s nice to have a way for people to randomly bump into each other. Who knows, people could be making new friends.
I love Ustream

- Tim, CTO: AWESOME
This is why your PR team and legal team need to communicate
Who would think it’s a good idea to piss off thousands of very vocal, tech-savvy individuals a few days before your movie is released? I don’t think this has much to do with not understanding Social Media or the internet or whatever you want to call it. This is just plain stupid. There seems to be a major communication breakdown, and the whole situation is making Marvel look silly.
Update: AMC gets it; Marvel still doesn’t.
