For those of you who aren’t Mets fans, this picture tells you a lot of what you need to know about the man and how he approached baseball.
Sad day. I loved the Kid. Who didn’t?
I’m excited to share that Kik Interactive just launched its second product. The first one was the popular messaging app Kik, which continues to have a strong base of devoted fans and is growing quickly. Today, the company launched Clik, a remote for bridging phones to bigger screens. Techcrunch has a good high-level summary.
Clik today is a very compelling demo where you use your smartphone to control YouTube videos on a larger second screen, and you can try it out now on a mobile phone. I’m really excited to see what third-party developers do with this platform when we launch the SDK for this service soon. Spark is an investor in Kik along side RRE and USV, and we are delighted to see Ted Livingston (Founder and CEO) and his team continue to push the boundaries on mobile technology.
The core technology and UI innovation for Clik surprisingly predates Kik. It was the original passion of Ted and his founding team. So it’s great to see Ted finally bring to life a vision he has been fostering for a number of years now.
This is really cool. I recommend checking it out.
Linsanity has taken over the globe to such a degree that, as of two days ago, “Jeremy Lin” became a more popular Google search term than Jesus himself. (This would probably horrify Lin, a devout Christian who tweeted “God is good!” after the Knicks beat Minnesota on Saturday.) In fact, Lin is currently a more popular search subject than Jesus and Canadian Jesus — Justin Bieber —combined. As for Kim Kardashian and Barack Obama, they are mere drops of water floating in an ocean of Lin, also known as an “Ocealin.”
Even more crazy, my wife just IM’ed me that.

“Most are stories written with little or no research done. They’re written as quickly as possible. The faster the better. Most are just rehashing information that spread by some other means. But that’s great, it means stories can be written without any burden beyond the writer having to read a little bit and type words fast. Many are written without the writer even having to think.”
MG writes a great post about how most of the tech stories out there are bullshit. I read a ton of tech blogs and b/c I mostly know this stuff, I usually know what’s b.s. and what’s not. What scares me is that I also read about Politics, Economics and other topics that I am not an expert in. I read them and believe them as truth. I bet experts in those fields realize how much b.s those stories are. I don’t. And that scares me.
Something Wicked This Way Comes – exfm mobile version 2.0 coming soon.
