Twitter ADs, SSD Disks and Bad Italian Behaviors
Since FriendFeed has been acquired by Facebook, Twitter started reducing their access to the tweet stream with the clear intent of penalizing the company. It is obviously a good move from Twitter, and although the authors of TechCrunch complains about it, I can not really see why they should not be doing it.
Apparently the first tier of Last.fm’s servers uses SSD disks to increase throughput of the data. They use those servers as cache, pushing on there the songs that people are likely to listen the most for the day. Not a bad idea, considering that the prices are going down (e.g., about $280 for 160Gb).
IZEA is pushing for its sponsored tweets model. We all knew this moment would have arrived and that is not the first attempt to monetize the stream. People already complain about it but there are already millions of blogs out there created with the sole purpose of making money so what is the difference?
I spent a lot of good summers in a Club Med village in Caprera, an enchanted island of Sardegna. Next to our residence there was a cool-looking US Navy base. In the past few years both sites have been closed with the promise of improvements but everything has yet to happen. Some lights have been on for years by now!
A 25 years old guy in a small town of Italy faked to be sick at work to be visited by the nearby doctor (a female). Once in her clinic he sexually harassed her. How can people think to be able to get away with these things?
