rubicon
the Rubicon Project is a group of industry-experienced, aggressive and passionate renegades dedicated to bringing a new level of efficiency to the fragmented Internet advertising space. The founders of the Rubicon Project shook up the online advertising industry in 1998 when they created L90/adMonitor, one of the most successful Internet advertising platforms that served over 3,000 of the web’s most recognized sites, reaching 65% of the Internet population before DoubleClick acquired it.
$27 Billion was spent advertising online in 2007, yet it’s still too hard for websites to sell their ad space online. While Internet advertising is an explosive market, it is an incredibly inefficient one with advertisers spending money with 300+ disparate advertising networks worldwide (e.g. Google AdSense, Yahoo! Publisher Network, Tacoda, HispanoClick and Adtegrity). the Rubicon Project’s web-based, self-serve solution gives any size website the most complete access to the total available advertising market and its smart matching technology does all the work to perfectly match each ad impression with the optimal money-making opportunity. the Rubicon Project is the new online advertising standard that makes it effortless for websites to generate the mad cash they’ve always dreamed of. And, it’s free to join.

yellowbot
YellowBot is essentially a local search site for finding and reviewing the places you go to in your community (and elsewhere). As an integral part of the site we are building ways for patrons and business owners to exchange tips and experiences. We’ve set our sights on “solving” Local because we just don’t think anybody’s done it right yet. We’ve worked at many of the big and small dotcoms that have receded from view in the rear-view mirror of the proverbial Information Superhighway and finally figured it was time to stop complaining and create Something Useful. Or at least something that we’d like to use ourselves.
We look at it this way: You live your life in the real world, at least as much as you have to. That’s where your house is, and where the people are who love you, and where you find the food that tastes good and the wine that has yet to be drunk. Oh yeah, and the dry cleaner and the veterinarian and the gas station. Those places are the stage where the story of your life is unfolding. We just want to help you pull it all together a bit more and share it with the world.

Water vs Beer and Wine
To my friends who enjoy a glass of wine... and those who don't.
As Ben Franklin said: In wine there is wisdom, in beer there is freedom, in
water there is bacteria.
In a number of carefully controlled trials, scientists have demonstrated
that if we drink 1 liter of water each day, at the end of the year we would
have
absorbed more than 1 kilo of Escherichia coli, (E. coli) - bacteria found in
feces. In other words, we are consuming 1 kilo of poop.
However, we do NOT run that risk when drinking wine & beer (or tequila, rum,
whiskey or other liquor) because alcohol has to go through a purification
process of boiling, filtering and/or fermenting.
Remember: Water = Poop, Wine = Health
Therefore, it's better to drink wine and talk stupid, than to drink water
and be full of shit.

Jim Griffin to Warner Bros
Portfolio magazine did an exclusive on Jim Griffin and his new position at Warner. Based on the story and what we are getting on Pho. There appears to be support around the concept of a monthly fee based model that would allow users to have unlimited access to music.
http://www.portfolio.com/news-markets/top-5/2008/03/27/Warners-New-Web-Guru?print=true
The real issue is going to be, will users find workarounds, how will this be enforced, is it optional, or will all users pay this fee regardless. More details to follow. But this could change the music industry.

Relationship Economy book
Book from Happy About"The Emergence of The Relationship Economy" by Scott Allen, Jay T. Deragon, Margaret G. Orem and Carter F. Smith
Relationship Economy Book, http://happyabout.info/RelationshipEconomy.php.
By Happy About Info
The Web is steadily becoming a utility of the masses. We have become familiar with using the Web for communicating, surfing, shopping, receiving information in different forms, and a host of other usage attributes--both personal and professional.
The Web economy has largely been fed by advertisers vying for eyeballs and attention. Advertisers have been a fundamental resource of the Web economy. When a change occurs that alters the old models and creates improved models with a promise of higher returns, then changes are likely to create systemic shifts across the entire Web that influence the system from end to end.
Innovation inevitably spawns further innovation throughout the supply chain of interconnected elements that fuel Web usage patterns, and the social Web facilitates systemic changes which are fueled through such innovation. The social Web brings more influential human elements with global reach than any previous technological development in the history of the Web. Combine the influence of the human elements with the economic power of relationship driven commerce and you have a scenario that will create further changes unforeseen, unpredictable, and unimaginable.
These changes are profound and create historical shifts that open opportunities for those who prepare and embrace the factors that enable a successful transition from the old economy to the new.

Aptera Buzz is building
Saw a piece on the news last night on the Aptera.
I would like to get one, but the price is still a little high.
Question is, why would someone spend more money on an Aptera if they can buy a Prius for less?
The 300mpg?
Check out this video just released on the Aptera.

Charter Internet Outage
It is pretty interesting when you have Charter running a promo for High-Speed for Life and most of the state of California drops Charter internet service.
Perhaps the bids should have been reduced on the auction.
We have Charter at the office and it is way more problematic that AT&T DSL. The main advantage to cable is that it can be significantly faster.
Charter has much work to do in have tiered services for residential and commercial businesses. If I am a business account I should not be running off the same pipe that residential customers are. I am paying a premium for that "special" service.
It appears that as of 12:30pm the internet is back up, although it has been in and out.
No reason why it went out either.
That's another thing Charter Communications can add is a dashboard on the internet that shows the health of their network. Perhaps because they have so many problems they don't want to air their dirty laundry.
I used to be with Charter at home and I am a stockholder in the company. I have thought of going back to Charter and they I encounter this, doesn't make me anxious to go back and try them out.
Then I hear from other people of the horror stories they have had, from poor customer service to complete botch of service calls.
Customer Service needs to be #1 with companies. It amazes me how bad customer service can be.
Does anyone else have any experiences they would like to share with Charter?

Google Webmaster Live Chat
Join us for an online live chat this Friday!
Monday, March 24, 2008 at 6:50 PM Written by Adam Lasnik, Search EvangelistMany of us Webmaster Help Group guides have happily gotten to meet Group members at various functions around the world. Over sandwiches in San Jose. Salads in Stockholm. Sweets in Sydney. And it's been super!
But some of you are hard to find and so we haven't had the pleasure of chatting with you. Therefore, we've decided to visit you right through your beloved monitor screen.
On Friday, March 28 at 9am PDT / noon EDT / 16:00 GMT, we'll be having our first-ever all-group live chat, where you'll have a chance to hear and see us answer some of your most pressing questions. All that's required is a phone (we'll pay for the call), a sufficiently-modern web browser, and an internet connection.
We'll be posting a "sticky note" with more details in the Random Chitchat section of the Group a day or two before this online meetup, and we're looking forward to chatting with you soon!
Talkatively yours,
Adam and the English Webmaster Help Guides

Fabian Wealth Strategies on KTLA
Fabian Wealth Strategies was on KTLA this morning giving some tips to young women.
Interesting fact is that people in the US save -2% of their earnings. That means we are in debt!
Germans save 8% and Japan 15%!
Living beyond our means is the biggest problem. Buying things we don't "really" need.

Morton's to Pasadena
There are rumblings Morton's is coming to Pasadena. There is speculation that Morton's is possibly moving into the old Holmstead store location which is in the Playhouse District on Colorado.
It is possible that another steak house will move in and that the location is different.
Roy's is set to open their new Pasadena location in the next two months. Roy's will be a great new addition to Pasadena and especially the Playhouse District.

Blogger - Blogpost Errors
Recently I have been running into many errors when clicking the PUBLISH POST button on Blogger. The errors are apparently being send to Google.
The one good thing is that recently the autosave function has saved practically every post I have started and have lost no work. This is great, because as of several months ago I would hit publish post and half my post would disappear.

Coffee Roasters in Pasadena: Jameson Brown Coffee Roasters
There are three coffee roasters in Pasadena.
This morning we stopped in at Jameson Brown Coffee Roasters a fairly recent newcomer to the Pasadena area as the micro coffee roaster industry continues to expand.
Jameson BRown is located near the Goldline stop at Allen.
The corner location is great and the insde the facility is open and very clean.
For a great cup of coffee Jameson Brown is one of the best places in Pasadena, surely giving Starbucks a run for the money.

Pasadena, CA 91106
www.jamesonbrown.com
626.395.7585
We talked to the owner today about them bringing in an Australian and Chinese coffee and talked about the coffee from Maui being just as good as the beans from Kona. Kona Coffee is world renowned but also very expensive. Maui coffee is less expensive and just as good.
Our coffee for this morning was Sumatra, Jennifer liked it so much that we bought a half-pound too.
More on Jameson Brown sooon.
If you live in Pasadena and enjoy a good cup of coffee you have to make a point to stop in.

Google AdSense Stickers
You may or may not want a Google Adsense Sticker. But here's the info anyway....
Stick 'em up!
If you're well versed in webspeak, you're probably familiar with the concept of stickiness -- the quality that entices web users to stick around a given site. Here at AdSense, we're down with the web version of stickiness, but we've got a different kind of adhesive in mind: the kind that lets you take the AdSense logo a-go-go.
That's right, we're talking stickers.
We've printed up a batch of AdSense stickers, and we'd be delighted to send one or two your way, wherever you are in the world. The stickers are designed for laptops, but they'll work just as well for placement on mugs, skateboards, or temporarily on a shirt. (Note: turning a pal into a walking Google ad without their knowledge is not recommended.)
So how do you get one of these glue-backed masterpieces? Easy: send us a self-addressed, stamped envelope with enough postage to return 1 oz of sticker goodness to you from our office in California via standard U.S. mail. (Sorry, we can't help you calculate the postage to your location). Send your envelope, along with a note if you'd like, to:
Google AdSense
c/o Arlene Lee
1600 Amphitheatre Parkway
Mountain View, CA 94043
USA
Supplies are limited, so send your envelope soon! Then you can stick with AdSense wherever you go. (And one last thing to keep in mind: while we're flattered that you might want a whole box, note that we're only able to provide one or two per publisher.)

A bundle of eBooks, software, and directories. This includes 101 Music Business Contracts software, volumes 1-6 of The Industry Yellow Pages (which reveals insider contact information to succeeding in the music business), and countless other eBooks and valuable reports.
Digsby
I am going to give Digsby a run. It is supposed to work with all the major IM services.
Hopefully it is more stable than Trillian for IM. I am testing it now and will report back.
Check it out at: http://www.digsby.com/
Here's some the features!
Instant Messaging
One combined buddy list for all your AIM, MSN, Yahoo, ICQ, Google Talk, and Jabber Accounts.
Manage multiple conversations with tabbed conversation windows. You can drag tabs out into their own windows for important conversations.
Rename contacts with an alias so you don't have to remember buddy names like 'giantsfan123'.
If one of your friends has more than one IM account you can combine them into a single merged contact to eliminate duplicate buddies.
Send your friends SMS messages right from the IM window.
The InfoBox lets you check everyone's status message and profile just by moving your mouse down the list.
Changing your status has never been easier. just one click right on the buddy list!
Multitask while you chat. Minimize the IM window and you see popups of new IM's. Best of all, you can reply right from the popup and get back to what you were doing.
Log conversation history and find the information you need our search-enabled log viewer.
And so much more.
Email
Manage your Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo Mail, AOL/AIM Mail, IMAP, and POP accounts right from digsby.
Get popup notifications when new email arrives. Clicking a popup takes you right to the message with auto-login into webmail accounts.

The social network InfoBox gives you a real time NewsFeed of what your friends are up to. Everything from new photos, to status updates, to upcoming birthdays is just a click away.

Complete control over the layout of buddies on the buddy list. Change everything from buddy icon size to whether or not to show a snippet of their away message.
Sort your buddy list how ever you want! You can organize buddies manually, by status, by service, by name or by log size to place those you communicate with most at the top. You can even choose a secondary sorting method.
Customizable notification system lets you choose what events you want to be alerted about and how.
Other
Digsby offers complete synchronization between computers and installations. Everything from the skin you chose to your pre-defined status messages follows you from place to place.
