“What was I supposed to be doing on Tumblr? My Tumblr is far from single-serving,...”
– Alexandra Lange perfectly sums up Tumblr, at least for myself. Tumblr is a record of my reactions to things I think are important.

Tweets = Vuvuzela buzz
dbreunig:
I love that people are complaining about vuvuzelas on Twitter, as the only difference between the two of them is that vuvuzelas make noise. They both say: “I am here.”

Teeny Tile →
joelaz:
Two-inch square ceramic tiles printed with an image of your choice.
In the fast-paced tile industry they should look to acquire BG patterns before they get snatched up by someone else. Seeing some great synergistic potential (seriously).
M.I.A. is to the pop music industry what Barry O is to the office of the president.

In defense of my vice: Friendfeed
FriendFeed by homard.net
It all started out innocently enough. I’d used Delicious for years to store links I found useful, but then along came Friendfeed and suddenly my digital footprints were being judged. What made some links “like-able” and others not? How come no one was commenting on all the interesting stuff I was sharing? Why won’t people add me as their virtual...
Me: (asking about the music playing in the background) Who is this? Her: it’s Deerhoof. It doesn’t make any sense, and it’s awesome.

Airlines to Offer In-Flight Access →
rickyv:
This is one of the biggest technology stories of the year, if not the biggest. I’ve always said that the first airline to provide Internet access will dominate the market until others catch up.
As an analogy, think of how well an airline that offered in-flight heroin would do servicing a nation of heroin addicts.
Hillary: “I will make no decisions tonight!” followed by a huge roar from the crowd. Wish I could get that treatment for my inactivity :)
Finally finished a book on procrastination (heh) but it could be one of the most important books I’ve ever read

Other answers I’ve found: My day on the internet Twitter search Start of my day...

Second Cheapest Syndrome
dihard: Ever order the second cheapest wine on the menu while dining out? Well, one in four diners do (in the UK, at least). In the marketing world, we can define this as a choice set effect with respect to reference pricing - using the cheapest bottle of wine as a standard of comparison against which the other wines are compared. But did you know that the second cheapest bottle is usually the...
