New York

The other face of "The Hipster Olympics"

Why am I posting this video? Not only is it a brilliant juxtaposition to The Hipster Olympics, there is an actual hipster sighting at 0:38 seconds.

The Hipster Olympics

"I haven't seen performances like these since last year's Douche Bag Summer  Games out in sunny Santa Monica, California".

Good times. Gooooood times.

Today's Twittup is brought to you by the letter M


M is for monsoon, which is what's like here in NYC right now.

M is for mojitos, which is what am going to be downing with my amigos.

If you don't follow me on Twitter or haven't friended me on Facebook, you wouldn't know that am going to be at Yuca Bar (First Avenue and 6th Street), ensconced from 7PM onward, sipping my lime-minty sensations.

Yuca Bar
Corner of Avenue A and Six Street

Twitter bombing #dontgo and false grassroots movements

Yesterday I had a bit of fun at the expense of the Republican noise machines and their efforts to paint themselves already as a loud and marginalized minority in Capitol Hill.

The web's 50 most influential people in New York

NowPublic is one of the fastest growing participatory news networks in the world. Time Magazine voted it last year one of the top 50 websites and The Guardian UK declared it's one of the top 5 most resourceful news sites in the world.

They have come up with a way to measure "news influence" on the web. They insinuated that traffic to one's site and/or blog is not one of the lead indicators, but how the people listed are connected to others (especially other influencers) through social media like YouTube, Flickr, Twitter, Facebook and others.

    The technology blogosphere is like a giant dog that is forever chasing its tail - except when it stops to lick its netherparts.
